A Plasmid Bearing the bla(CTX-M-15) Gene and Phage P1-Like Sequences from a Sequence Type 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate.

ABSTRACT: Plasmid pKP12226 was extracted and analyzed from a CTX-M-15-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 11 (ST11) isolate collected in South Korea. The plasmid represents chimeric characteristics consisting of a pIP1206-like backbone and lysogenized phage P1-like sequences. It bears a resistance region that includes resistance genes to several antibiotics and is different from previously characterized plasmids from South Korea bearing blaCTX-M-15. It may have resulted from recombination between an Escherichia coli plasmid backbone, a blaCTX-M-15-bearing resistance region, and lysogenized phage P1-like sequences.

Epidemic plasmid carrying bla(CTX-M-15) in Klebsiella penumoniae in China.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the local epidemiology of Klebsiella penumoniae carrying bla(CTX-M-15) in southern China and to characterize the genetic environment of bla(CTX-M-15).MethodsPCR and DNA sequencing were used to detect and characterize the genetic contexts of bla(CTX-M-15). The clonal relatedness of isolates carrying bla(CTX-M-15) was determined by pulse-field gel electrophoresis. Conjugative plasmids carrying bla(CTX-M-15) were obtained by mating and were further subject to restriction analysis and replicon typing.ResultsA total of 47CTX-M-15 ESBL-producing isolates of K. pneumoniae were collected from nine hospitals in China from October 2007 to October 2008. Isolates were clustered into various clonal groups. The local spread of bla(CTX-M-15) was mainly mediated by one major conjugative plasmid as determined by S1-PFGE and restriction analysis. A 90-kb plasmid belonging to incompatible group FII was the major carrier of bla(CTX-M-15) in K. pneumoniae. Except bla(TEM-1), the resistance genes such as bla(SHV), bla(DHA-1), bla(OXA-1), qnrB, qnrS, aac(3)-II, and aac(6')-Ib were not found in the plasmid. In the comparing of conjugative gene sequence, it is 100% identical with the plasmid pKF3-94, which was found in K. pneumonia from Zhejiang province of china previously.Conclusionsbla(CTX-M-15) was prevalent in K. pneumonia of southern China. The dissemination of bla(CTX-M-15) appeared to be due to the horizontal transfer of a 90-kb epidemic plasmid.

Genomic Characterization of a Uropathogenic Escherichia coli ST405 Isolate Harboring bla CTX-M-15-Encoding IncFIA-FIB Plasmid, bla CTX-M-24-Encoding IncI1 Plasmid, and Phage-Like Plasmid.

Project description:Escherichia coli sequence type 405 is an emerging antibiotic-resistant clonal group associated with the global dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli. In this study, we report the genome assembly and characterization of a uropathogenic E. coli ST405 strain, SZESBLEC201, based on long and short reads obtained from the Nanopore and Illumina sequencing platforms, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that SZESBLEC201 harbors a 5,020,403 bp chromosome and three plasmids, namely, pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-2, and pSZESBLEC201-3. pSZESBLEC201-1 (111,621 bp) belongs to the IncFIA-FIB type and harbors bla CTX-M-15. However, this plasmid does not harbor conjugative transfer-associated genes, rendering pSZESBLEC201-1 unable to be conjugatively transferred. pSZESBLEC201-2 (95,138 bp) is a phage-like plasmid that shows a strong genome synteny with Escherichia phage P1 but with the absence of mobile genetic elements and some regulatory genes. pSZESBLEC201-3 (92,865 bp) belongs to the IncI1 type and carries bla CTX-M-24. In contrast to pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-3 retains its full active conjugation machinery and can be transferred via conjugation. The genetic features of the genome show that the SZESBLEC201 has a unique virulence pattern compared with genetically similar strains found in the same country (China). The plasmid backbones exhibit a high degree of similarity to those of geographically distant isolates, highlighting the global spread of bla CTX-M genes and the genome plasticity of this clonal group. The coexistence of two bla CTX-M variants in the same strain increases the risk of the emergence of new bla CTX-M variants. Further studies on phage-like plasmids are necessary to provide insights into their biological activities and clinical significance.

IncH-type plasmid harboring bla CTX-M-15, bla DHA-1, and qnrB4 genes recovered from animal isolates.

Project description:The whole sequence of plasmid pENVA carrying the extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene blaCTX-M-15 was determined. It was identified from a series of clonally related Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 274 strains recovered from companion animals. This plasmid was 253,984 bp in size and harbored, in addition to blaCTX-M-15, a large array of genes encoding resistance to many antibiotic molecules, including β-lactams (blaTEM-1, blaDHA-1), aminoglycosides (aacA2, aadA1), tetracycline (tetA), quinolones (qnrB4), trimethoprim (dfrA15), and sulfonamides (two copies of sul1). In addition, genes encoding resistance to mercury, tellurium, nickel, and quaternary compounds were identified. It also carried genes encoding DNA damage protection and mutagenesis repair and a locus for a CRISPR system, which corresponds to an immune system involved in protection against bacteriophages and plasmids. Comparative analysis of the plasmid scaffold showed that it possessed a structure similar to that of only a single plasmid, which was pNDM-MAR encoding the carbapenemase NDM-1 and identified from human K. pneumoniae isolates. Both plasmids possessed two replicons, namely, those of IncFIB-like and IncHIB-like plasmids, which were significantly different from those previously characterized. The blaCTX-M-15 gene, together with the other antibiotic resistance genes, was part of a large module likely acquired through a transposition process. We characterized here a new plasmid type carrying the blaCTX-M-15 gene identified in a K. pneumoniae isolate of animal origin. The extent to which this plasmid type may spread efficiently and possibly further enhance the dissemination of blaCTX-M-15 among animal and human isolates remains to be determined.

Whole Genome Characterization of the High-Risk Clone ST383 Klebsiella pneumoniae with a Simultaneous Carriage of blaCTX-M-14 on IncL/M Plasmid and blaCTX-M-15 on Convergent IncHI1B/IncFIB Plasmid from Egypt.

Project description:Recently, Egypt has witnessed the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae, which has posed a serious healthcare challenge. The accelerated dissemination of blaCTX-M genes among these MDR K. pneumoniae, particularly blaCTX-M-14 and blaCTX-M-15, have been noted. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of blaCTX-M-IV among K. pneumoniae recovered from the laboratory of a major hospital in Alexandria. The 23 tested isolates showed an MDR phenotype and the blaCTX-M-IV gene was detected in ≈22% of the isolates. The transformation of plasmids harboring blaCTX-M-IV to chemically competent cells of Escherichia coli DH5α was successful in three out of five of the tested blaCTX-M-IV-positive isolates. Whole genome sequencing of K22 indicated that the isolate belonged to the high-risk clone ST383, showing a simultaneous carriage of blaCTX-M-14 on IncL/M plasmid, i.e., pEGY22_CTX-M-14, and blaCTX-M-15 on a hybrid IncHI1B/IncFIB plasmid, pEGY22_CTX-M-15. Alignment of both plasmids revealed high similarity with those originating in the UK, Germany, Australia, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco. pEGY22_CTX-M-15 was a mosaic plasmid that demonstrated convergence of MDR and virulence genes. The emergence of such a plasmid with enhanced genetic plasticity constitutes the perfect path for the evolution of K. pneumoniae isolates causing invasive untreatable infections especially in a country with a high burden of infectious diseases such as Egypt. Therefore there is an imperative need for countrywide surveillances to monitor the prevalence of these superbugs with limited therapeutic options.

Evolution of Carbapenem-Resistant Serotype K1 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae by Acquisition of bla VIM-1-Bearing Plasmid.

Project description:We report the identification of a carbapenem-resistant, hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) strain which produced the carbapenemase VIM-1. Genomic analysis showed that the strain belonged to sequence type ST23 and serotype K1, a major hvKp clone, and harbored three resistance-encoding plasmids. Among them, a bla VIM-1-bearing plasmid was found to possess a mosaic structure presumably generated by multiple gene mobilization events. This finding indicates that hvKp actively acquires mobile resistance-encoding elements, facilitating simultaneous expression of hypervirulence and carbapenem-resistance.

A P7 Phage-Like Plasmid Carrying mcr-1 in an ST15 Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolate.

Project description:A Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strain, named SCKP83, was isolated and found to be resistant to colistin thanks to the presence plasmid-borne colistin resistant gene mcr-1. The strain was subjected to whole genome sequencing and conjugation experiments. The subsequent analysis indicated that the strain belongs to ST15 and the capsular type K41. In SCKP83, mcr-1 was carried by a 97.4-kb non-self-transmissible plasmid, a 90.9-kb region of which was predicted as an intact phage. This phage was 47.79% GC content, encoded 105 proteins and contained three tRNAs. mcr-1 was located downstream of two copies of the insertion sequence ISApl1 (one complete and one truncated) and was inserted in the ant1 gene, which encodes a putative antirepressor for antagonizing C1 repression, in this phage. The phage is highly similar to phage P7 (77% coverage and 98% identity) from Escherichia coli. Several similar mcr-1-carrying plasmids have been found in E. coli at various locations in China, suggesting that these phage-like plasmids have circulated in China. The findings in this study suggest that the P7 phage-like plasmids are not restricted to E. coli and may represent new vehicles to mediate the inter-species spread of mcr-1.
