Complete nucleotide sequences of two NDM-1-encoding plasmids from the same sequence type 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae strain.

ABSTRACT: The sequence type 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae strain Kpn-3002cz was confirmed to harbor two NDM-1-encoding plasmids, pB-3002cz and pS-3002cz. pB-3002cz (97,649 bp) displayed extensive sequence similarity with the blaNDM-1-carrying plasmid pKPX-1. pS-3002cz (73,581 bp) was found to consist of an IncR-related sequence (13,535 bp) and a mosaic region (60,046 bp). A 40,233-bp sequence of pS-3002cz was identical to the mosaic region of pB-3002cz, indicating the en bloc acquisition of the NDM-1-encoding region from one plasmid by the other.

Project description:Aim of this study was to genetically characterize two carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli strains obtained from a pediatric patient affected by diarrhea, expressing OXA-181 and/or NDM-5 type enzymes. The above microorganisms were collected in the same Desenzano hospital (Northern Italy) where the bla NDM- 5 gene was detected for the first time in Italy 3 years ago. One strain (5P), belonged to sequence type ST405/ST477 (according to Pasture/Oxford schemes) and serotype O102:H6. It was characterized by a 130562 bp multi-replicon plasmid IncFII/IncFIA/IncFIB (pVSI_NDM-5) enclosing two main antibiotic resistance islands: (i) ARI-I, 10030 bp in size, carried genes coding for β-lactam- (bla OXA- 1, bla CTX-M- 15), fluoroquinolone/aminoglycoside- (aac(6')-lb-cr) and phenicol- resistance (catB3), (ii) ARI-II, 15326 bp in size, carried genes coding for sulfonamide- (sul1), β-lactam- (bla NDM- 5, bla TEM- 1 B), phenicol- (catB3), trimethoprim- (dfrA17), antiseptic- (qacEΔ1), and aminoglycoside- (aadA5, rmtB) resistance. The other isolate (5M), belonged to sequence type ST2659/ST759 and serotype O50/02:H18, and carried four plasmids: a 153866 bp multi-replicon IncFII/IncFIA/IncFIB (pISV_IncFII_NDM-5), an 89866 bp IncI1 plasmid, a 51480 bp IncX3 plasmid (pISV_IncX3_OXA181), and a 41143 bp IncI plasmid (pISV_IncI_CMY-42). pISV_IncFII_NDM-5 carried two main antibiotic resistance islands: (i) ARI-III, 12220 bp in size, carried genes coding for β-lactam- (bla OXA- 1), fluoroquinolone/aminoglycoside- (aac(6')-lb-cr), tetracycline- (tet(B)) and phenicol- resistance (catB3, catA1), and ii) ARI-IV, 26527 bp in size, carried determinants coding for macrolide- (erm(B), mph(A)), sulfonamide- (sul1), beta-lactam- (bla NDM- 5, bla TEM- 1 B), trimethoprim- (dfrA14, dfrA12), antiseptic- (qacEΔ1), and aminoglycoside- resistance (aadA5). pISV_IncI_CMY-42 harbored the bla CMY- 42 gene coding for beta-lactam resistance, pISV_IncX3_OXA181 harbored genes encoding fluoroquinolone- (qnrS1) and beta-lactams- resistance (bla OXA- 181). In conclusion, the detection of two different NDM-5 E. coli strains from a pediatric patient with a history of travel to the Far East countries strongly highlight an increasing trend and risk of importation from such areas.

Project description:Multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are emerging as a serious infectious disease challenge. These strains can accumulate many antibiotic resistance genes though horizontal transfer of genetic elements, those for β-lactamases being of particular concern. Some β-lactamases are active on a broad spectrum of β-lactams including the last-resort carbapenems. The gene for the broad-spectrum and carbapenem-active metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1 is rapidly spreading. We present the complete genome of Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC BAA-2146, the first U.S. isolate found to encode NDM-1, and describe its repertoire of antibiotic-resistance genes and mutations, including genes for eight β-lactamases and 15 additional antibiotic-resistance enzymes. To elucidate the evolution of this rich repertoire, the mobile elements of the genome were characterized, including four plasmids with varying degrees of conservation and mosaicism and eleven chromosomal genomic islands. One island was identified by a novel phylogenomic approach, that further indicated the cps-lps polysaccharide synthesis locus, where operon translocation and fusion was noted. Unique plasmid segments and mosaic junctions were identified. Plasmid-borne blaCTX-M-15 was transposed recently to the chromosome by ISEcp1. None of the eleven full copies of IS26, the most frequent IS element in the genome, had the expected 8-bp direct repeat of the integration target sequence, suggesting that each copy underwent homologous recombination subsequent to its last transposition event. Comparative analysis likewise indicates IS26 as a frequent recombinational junction between plasmid ancestors, and also indicates a resolvase site. In one novel use of high-throughput sequencing, homologously recombinant subpopulations of the bacterial culture were detected. In a second novel use, circular transposition intermediates were detected for the novel insertion sequence ISKpn21 of the ISNCY family, suggesting that it uses the two-step transposition mechanism of IS3. Robust genome-based phylogeny showed that a unified Klebsiella cluster contains Enterobacter aerogenes and Raoultella, suggesting the latter genus should be abandoned.
