Complete sequence of a conjugative incn plasmid harboring blaKPC-2, blaSHV-12, and qnrS1 from an Escherichia coli sequence type 648 strain.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced a novel conjugative blaKPC-2-harboring IncN plasmid, pYD626E, from an Escherichia coli sequence type 648 strain previously identified in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. pYD626E was 72,800 bp long and carried four ?-lactamase genes, blaKPC-2, blaSHV-12, blaLAP-1, and blaTEM-1. In addition, it harbored qnrS1 (fluoroquinolone resistance) and dfrA14 (trimethoprim resistance). The plasmid profile and clinical history supported the in vivo transfer of this plasmid between Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.

Complete Sequence of a Novel IncR-F33:A-:B- Plasmid, pKP1034, Harboring fosA3, blaKPC-2, blaCTX-M-65, blaSHV-12, and rmtB from an Epidemic Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 11 Strain in China.

Project description:A high fosfomycin resistance rate was observed in Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) in our previous study, but little is known about its mechanisms. In this study, we explored the prevalence of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance determinants among fosfomycin-resistant KPC-KP strains from a Chinese university hospital and determined the complete sequence of a novel fosA3-carrying plasmid isolated from an epidemic K. pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 11 strain. A total of 97 KPC-KP strains were studied, of which 57 (58.8%) were resistant to fosfomycin, including 44 (45.4%) harboring fosA3 and 1 harboring fosA. All fosA3-positive strains belonged to the dominant ST11-pulse type (PT) A clone according to multilocus sequence typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, suggesting clonal dissemination. The fosA-positive isolate belonged to ST11-PTE. The fosA3-carrying plasmid pKP1034 is 136,848 bp in length and is not self-transmissible. It is a multireplicon plasmid belonging to IncR-F33:A-: B-. Besides fosA3, a variety of other resistance determinants, including blaKPC-2, rmtB, blaCTX-M-65, and blaSHV-12, are identified in pKP1034, which would allow for coselection of fosA3 by most β-lactams and/or aminoglycosides and facilitate its dissemination despite limited use of fosfomycin in China. Detailed comparisons with related plasmids revealed that pKP1034 is highly mosaic and might have evolved from alarming recombination of the blaKPC-2-carrying plasmid pKPC-LK30 from Taiwan and the epidemic fosA3-carrying plasmid pHN7A8 from mainland China.

New Small Plasmid Harboring blaKPC-2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic context of blaKPC-2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa sequence type 244 from Brazil. The blaKPC-2 gene was detected in a new small plasmid, pBH6. Complete sequencing revealed that pBH6 was 3,652 bp long and included the Tn3 resolvase and Tn3 inverted repeat (IR), a partial copy of ISKpn6, and a putative ori region but no rep genes. pBH6 replicated stably into Escherichia coli strain DH10B and P. aeruginosa strain PAO.

Complete nucleotide sequences of blaKPC-4- and blaKPC-5-harboring IncN and IncX plasmids from Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated in New Jersey.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens. bla(KPC), commonly located on Tn4401, is found in Gram-negative bacterial strains, with the two most common variants, bla(KPC-2) and bla(KPC-3), identified in plasmids with diverse genetic backgrounds. In this study, we examined bla(KPC-4)- and bla(KPC-5)-bearing plasmids recovered from two K. pneumoniae strains, which were isolated from a single New Jersey hospital in 2005 and 2006, respectively. IncN plasmid pBK31551 is 84 kb in length and harbors bla(KPC-4), bla(TEM-1), qnrB2, aac(3)-Ib, aph(3')-I, qacF, qacE?1, sul1, and dfrA14, which confer resistance to ?-lactams, quinolones, aminoglycosides, quaternary ammonium compounds, and co-trimoxazole. The conserved regions within pBK31551 are similar to those of other IncN plasmids. Surprisingly, analysis of the Tn4401 sequence revealed a large IS110- and Tn6901-carrying element (8.3 kb) inserted into the istA gene, encoding glyoxalase/bleomycin resistance, alcohol dehydrogenase, and S-formylglutathione hydrolase. Plasmid pBK31567 is 47 kb in length and harbors bla(KPC-5), dfrA5, qacE?1, and sul1. pBK31567 belongs to a novel IncX subgroup (IncX5) and possesses a highly syntenic plasmid backbone like other IncX plasmids; however, sequence similarity at the nucleotide level is divergent. The bla(KPC-5) gene is carried on a Tn4401 element and differs from the genetic environment of bla(KPC-5) described in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain P28 from Puerto Rico. This study underscores the genetic diversity of multidrug-resistant plasmids involved in the spread of bla(KPC) genes and highlights the mobility and plasticity of Tn4401. Comparative genomic analysis provides new insights into the evolution and dissemination of KPC plasmids belonging to different incompatibility groups.

Further Spread of a blaKPC-Harboring Untypeable Plasmid in Enterobacteriaceae in China.

Project description:The wide spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is great threat to public health in China. Plasmids are among the major factors mediating blaKPC gene dissemination. A total of 156 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates were identified in a tertiary hospital in China. Six KPC-producing isolates, namely, E. coli (n = 2), E. asburiae (n = 1), C. freundii (n = 1), C. portucalensis (n = 1), and C. koseri (n = 1), tested positive for the pCKPC18-1-like untypeable plasmid, which was described recently in C. freundii. All 6 plasmids could be easily transferred into E. coli by chemical transformation or conjugation and were confirmed by sequencing to harbor blaKPC-2. Multilocus PCRs and EcoRI-RFLP revealed that the 6 untypeable plasmids belonged to 2 isoforms. High-throughput sequencing of representative plasmids (pCP40 and pEC86) led to the identification of 2 plasmids that shared the common backbone genes repA, DnaJ, StpA, and yafB, which were characteristic of the untypeable plasmid, and had similar blaKPC-2 genetic contexts of the Tn3-Tn4401 chimera. Nucleotide comparison revealed high sequence identity of the 2 plasmids with previously reported blaKPC-2-carrying untypeable plasmids. In particular, the pCP40 plasmid from C. portucalensis and the pHS062105-3 plasmid from K. pneumoniae differed by only 20 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a blaKPC-harboring untypeable plasmid spread into E. coli, E. asburiae, and C. koseri strains in China.

Complete nucleotide sequence of a blaKPC-harboring IncI2 plasmid and its dissemination in New Jersey and New York hospitals.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae strains have spread worldwide and become a significant public health threat. blaKPC, the plasmid-borne KPC gene, was frequently identified on numerous transferable plasmids in different incompatibility replicon groups. Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence of a novel blaKPC-3-harboring IncI2 plasmid, pBK15692, isolated from a multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae ST258 strain isolated from a New Jersey hospital in 2005. pBK15692 is 78 kb in length and carries a backbone that is similar to those of other IncI2 plasmids (pR721, pChi7122-3, pHN1122-1, and pSH146-65), including the genes encoding type IV pili and shufflon regions. Comparative genomics analysis of IncI2 plasmids reveals that they possess a conserved plasmid backbone but are divergent with respect to the integration sites of resistance genes. In pBK15692, the blaKPC-3-harboring Tn4401 was inserted into a Tn1331 element and formed a nested transposon. A PCR scheme was designed to detect the prevalence of IncI2 and pBK15692-like plasmids from a collection of clinical strains from six New Jersey and New York hospitals isolated between 2007 and 2011. IncI2 plasmids were found in 46.2% isolates from 318 clinical K. pneumoniae strains. Notably, 59 pBK15692-like plasmids (23%) have been identified in 256 KPC-bearing K. pneumoniae strains, and all carried KPC-3 and belong to the epidemic ST258 clone. Our study revealed that the prevalence of IncI2 plasmids has been considerably underestimated. Further studies are needed to understand the distribution of this plasmid group in other health care regions and decipher the association between IncI2 plasmids and blaKPC-3-bearing ST258 strains.

Characterization of blaNDM-1- and blaSHV-12-Positive IncX3 Plasmid in an <i>Enterobacter Hormaechei</i> New Sequence Type 1000 from China.

Project description:PurposeCarbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex has been reported worldwide and becomes a new challenge for clinical management. The present study was to characterize the IncX3 plasmid encoding bla NDM-1 and bla SHV-12 gene in E. hormaechei sequence.Materials and methodsEcHK001 was recovered from the sputum sample of a patient. Species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed using the VITEK 2 system, while further classification was carried out by hsp60 typing. The presence of NDM-1 was detected by PCR and sequencing. Conjugation experiments and southern blotting were carried out to determine the transferability of the NDM-1-carrying plasmid. Whole-genome sequencing and analysis were conducted to better understand the molecular characteristics of the multi-drug resistant isolate.ResultsStrain EcHK001 was classified as E. hormaechei of new sequence type 1000. Multiple drug-resistant genes were detected. The bla NDM-1 and bla SHV-12 genes were located on a self-transferable IncX3 plasmid. Synonymous mutations were identified in the genes encoding TEM-1 and ACT-17. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that EcHK001 clustered into a different clade from domestic strains.ConclusionThe rapid spread of the recurrent IncX3 plasmid highlights the need for continuous surveillance of the NDM-1 dissemination. The presence of mutations in existing carbapenem-resistant genes may generate potential new variants and raise serious challenges for clinical treatment.

Nucleotide sequence and analysis of conjugative plasmid pVT745.

Project description:The complete nucleotide sequence and genetic map of pVT745 are presented. The 25-kb plasmid was isolated from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, a periodontal pathogen. Two-thirds of the plasmid encode functions related to conjugation, replication, and replicon stability. Among potential gene products with a high degree of similarity to known proteins are those associated with plasmid conjugation. It was shown that pVT745 derivatives not only mobilized a coresident nontransmissible plasmid, pMMB67, but also mediated their own conjugative transfer to different A. actinomycetemcomitans strains. However, transfer of pVT745 derivatives from A. actinomycetemcomitans to Escherichia coli JM109 by conjugation was successful only when an E. coli origin of replication was present on the pVT745 construct. Surprisingly, 16 open reading frames encode products of unknown function. The plasmid contains a conserved replication region which belongs to the HAP (Haemophilus-Actinobacillus-Pasteurella) theta replicon family. However, its host range appears to be rather narrow compared to other members of this family. Sequences homologous to pVT745 have previously been detected in the chromosomes of numerous A. actinomycetemcomitans strains. The nature and origin of these homologs are discussed based on information derived from the nucleotide sequence.

Prevalence of Carbapenem-Resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Co-Harboring blaKPC-Carrying Plasmid and pLVPK-Like Virulence Plasmid in Bloodstream Infections.

Project description:This study aimed to characterize carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) co-harboring bla KPC-2-carrying plasmid and pLVPK-like virulence plasmid. Between December 2017 and April 2018, 24 CR-KP isolates were recovered from 24 patients with bacteremia. The mortality was 66.7%. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing results indicated four clusters, of which cluster A (n = 21, 87.5%) belonged to ST11 and the three remaining isolates (ST412, ST65, ST23) had different pulsotypes (cluster B, C, D). The bla KPC-2-carrying plasmids all belonged to IncFIIK type, and the size ranged from 100 to 390 kb. Nineteen strains (79.2%) had a 219-kb virulence plasmid possessed high similarity to pLVPK from CG43 with serotype K2. Two strains had a 224-kb virulence plasmid resembled plasmid pK2044 from K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044(ST23). Moreover, three strains carried three different hybrid resistance- and virulence-encoding plasmids. Conjugation assays showed that both bla KPC-2 and rmpA2 genes could be successfully transferred to E. coli J53 in 62.5% of the strains at frequencies of 4.5 × 10-6 to 2.4 × 10-4, of which three co-transferred bla KPC-2 along with rmpA2 in large plasmids. Infection assays in the Galleria mellonella model demonstrated the virulence level of these isolates was found to be consistently higher than that of classic Klebsiella pneumoniae. In conclusion, CR-KP co-harboring bla KPC-2-carrying plasmid and pLVPK-like virulence plasmid were characterized by multi-drug resistance, enhanced virulence, and transferability, and should, therefore, be regarded as a real superbug that could pose a serious threat to public health. Hence, heightened efforts are urgently needed to avoid its co-transmission of the virulent plasmid (gene) and resistant plasmid (gene) in clinical isolates.
