Emergence of Raoultella ornithinolytica coproducing IMP-4 and KPC-2 carbapenemases in China.

ABSTRACT: We report here the emergence of seven IMP-4-producing Raoultella ornithinolytica isolates obtained from one patient. All isolates carried the blaIMP-4 carbapenemase gene, five isolates also carried blaSHV-12, four contained blaTEM-1, and one contained blaOXA-1. Notably, the R. ornithinolytica isolate Ro25724 also expressed Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-2. The blaKPC-2 gene was located on a Tn3-Tn4401 integration structure on a plasmid of ?450 kb. This is the first description of the coexistence of blaKPC-2 and blaIMP-4 from the genus Raoultella.

First report of Klebsiella oxytoca strain coproducing KPC-2 and IMP-8 carbapenemases.

Project description:The study shows for the first time the presence of the Klebsiella oxytoca strain fp10 coproducing plasmid-mediated KPC-2 and IMP-8 carbapenemases. The strain was obtained from the fecal sample of an inpatient and showed high-level resistance to imipenem and ertapenem (MICs > 32 μg/ml). Conjugation experiments demonstrated the transferability of the carbapenem-resistant determinants. The results of plasmid analysis and Southern hybridization revealed that the bla(KPC-2) gene was located on transferable plasmid pFP10-1 (∼54 kb), whereas the bla(IMP-8) gene was on transferable plasmid pFP10-2 (∼180 kb). Analysis of the genetic environment of these two genes has demonstrated that ISKpn6 and ISKpn8 are involved in the spread of the bla(KPC-2) gene, while the transposable elements IS26, intI1, and tniC might contribute to the dissemination of the bla(IMP-8) gene. The chimera of several transposon-associated elements indicated a novel genetic environment of IMP-type metallo-β-lactamase gene in Enterobacteriaceae from China.

Emergence of Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-8 and Its Variant in Raoultella ornithinolytica.

Project description:Recently, a novel mobile colistin resistance gene, mcr-8, was identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Here, we report the identification of mcr-8 and its variant, mcr-8.4, in Raoultella ornithinolytica isolates which also belong to Enterobacteriaceae family. The mcr-8 gene was located on transferrable plasmids with difference sizes. Notably, the transferability of mcr-8-carrying plasmids was enhanced once they entered into Escherichia coli hosts and multiple β-lactamase genes could co-transfer with mcr-8. These findings expand our knowledge of mcr-8-carrying bacterial species.

Genetic Characteristics and Microbiological Profile of Hypermucoviscous Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella variicola Coproducing IMP-4 and NDM-1 Carbapenemases.

Project description:We report here a hypermucoviscous, New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) and imipenemase 4 (IMP-4) carbapenemases-coproducing Klebsiella variicola isolate obtained from a pediatric patient. This strain was resistant to carbapenems and most other β-lactams. Although hypermucoviscous, this strain possessed attenuated virulence according to serum killing assay and Galleria mellonella infection model. Notably, two copies of blaNDM-1 were contained on two tandem ISCR1 elements and coexisted with blaIMP-4 in a novel hybrid multidrug resistance plasmid. This is the first description of the coexistence of blaNDM-1 and blaIMP-4 in a single plasmid of hypermucoviscous K. variicola. IMPORTANCE As an important member of the Klebsiella pneumoniae complex, Klebsiella variicola is poorly studied as an emerging human pathogen. We, for the first time, report a unique K. variicola isolated from a pediatric patient in China. This isolate exhibited hypermucoviscosity, a classic hypervirulence characteristic of K. pneumoniae, and contained multiple carbapenem-resistant genes, including blaIMP-1 and blaNDM-1. Interestingly, these antimicrobial resistance genes were located on a novel hybrid plasmid, and our results suggested that this plasmid might have been introduced from K. pneumoniae and undergone a series of integration and recombination evolutionary events. Overall, our study provides more insight into K. variicola and highlights its superior capability to acquire and maintain foreign resistance genes.

Emergence of NDM-1- and CTX-M-3-Producing Raoultella ornithinolytica in Human Gut Microbiota.

Project description:Raoultella ornithinolytica is an opportunistic pathogen of the Enterobacteriaceae family and has been implicated in nosocomial infections in recent years. The aim of this study was to characterize a carbapenemase-producing R. ornithinolytica isolate and three extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing R. ornithinolytica isolates from stool samples of adults in a rural area of Shandong Province, China. The species were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that all four isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). The whole genome sequence (WGS) of these isolates was determined using an Illumina HiSeq platform, which revealed MDR-related genes. The S1 nuclease-pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (S1-PFGE) was used to characterize the plasmids carried by the R. ornithinolytica isolates. The bla NDM-1 and bla CTX-M-3 genes were probed using Southern blotting, which confirmed the location of both genes on the same plasmid with molecular weight of 336.5-398.4 kb. The transferability of bla NDM-1 and bla CTX-M was also confirmed by conjugation assays. Finally, BLAST analysis of both genes showed that mobile genetic elements were associated with the spread of drug resistance genes. Taken together, we report the presence of conjugative bla NDM-1 and bla CTX-M plasmids in R. ornithinolytica isolates from healthy humans, which indicate the possibility of inter-species transfer of drug resistance genes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to isolate and characterize carbapenemase-producing R. ornithinolytica and ESBL-producing R. ornithinolytica isolates from healthy human hosts.

Emergence of NDM-1-producing <i>Raoultella ornithinolytica</i> from reservoir water in Northeast Thailand.

Project description:Background and aimAntibiotic resistance is a major global health threat. The increasing prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria poses a serious challenge to the effective treatment of infections in both humans and animals. Water is a major source of human and animal exposure to bacteria, and the presence of drug-resistant bacteria in water could present a severe threat to public health and animal production. This study investigated the presence of drug-resistant bacteria in Lam Pao Dam (LPD) water in Kalasin, Thailand.Materials and methodsAmpicillin-resistant strains were obtained from LPD water and identified using 16s rDNA sequencing. Antibiotic resistance genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction using specific primers. The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria was evaluated using 16s amplicon analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Raoultella ornithinolytica strains against antibiotics was determined.ResultsA total of 12 R. ornithinolytica, 4 Bacillus cereus, and 4 Enterococcus faecalis isolates were resistant to ampicillin. Almost all R. ornithinolytica strains harbored blaSHV and blaOXA genes, and two strains also harbored the blaNDM-1 gene. All four E. faecalis strains harbored the blaIMP gene. The most abundant species in the LPD sample was Exiguobacterium indicum, followed by E. faecalis and R. ornithinolytica. The MICs of 10 R. ornithinolytica strains against five antibiotics revealed that all strains were resistant to ampicillin but susceptible to meropenem, doripenem, ertapenem, and imipenem.ConclusionThese findings suggest a high prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria in LPD water. This is a cause for concern, as it could spread antibiotic-resistant infections in the community.

Emergence of Klebsiella pneumoniae coproducing KPC-2 and 16S rRNA methylase ArmA in Poland.

Project description:A Klebsiella pneumoniae epidemic strain that coproduced carbapenemase KPC-2 (K. pneumoniae carbapenemase 2) and 16S rRNA methylase ArmA has emerged in Poland. Four nonduplicate isolates from patients in a hospital in Warsaw, Poland, were found to carry the bla(KPC-2) and armA genes on ca. 50-kb and 90-kb plasmids, respectively. Tn4401 with a 100-bp deletion in the variable region was detected in all the isolates. XbaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed 93.2% similarity of the isolates. All the isolates were resistant to carbapenems and 4,6-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamines.

First Report of Klebsiella oxytoca Strain Simultaneously Producing NDM-1, IMP-4, and KPC-2 Carbapenemases.

Project description:The nucleotide sequences of five plasmids from one Klebsiella oxytoca isolate were determined using the PacBio RS II system. Plasmid analysis revealed that blaNDM-1 was carried on an IncX3 plasmid. The blaIMP-4 and blaKPC-2 genes were located on IncN and IncP-6 plasmids, respectively. Comparative sequence analysis highlighted the successful spread of carbapenemase-harboring plasmids among different enterobacterial species. We report for the first time, to our knowledge, coproducing NDM-1, KPC-2, and IMP-4 carbapenemases on a K. oxytoca isolate.

Production of plasmid-encoding NDM-1 in clinical Raoultella ornithinolytica and Leclercia adecarboxylata from China.

Project description:Raoultella ornithinolytica YNKP001 and Leclercia adecarboxylata P10164, which harbor conjugative plasmids pYNKP001-NDM and pP10164-NDM, respectively, were isolated from two different Chinese patients, and their complete nucleotide sequences were determined. Production of NDM-1 enzyme by these plasmids accounts for the carbapenem resistance of these two strains. This is the first report of bla NDM in L. adecarboxylata and third report of this gene in R. ornithinolytica. pYNKP001-NDM is very similar to the IncN2 NDM-1-encoding plasmids pTR3, pNDM-ECS01, and p271A, whereas pP10164-NDM is similar to the IncFIIY bla NDM-1-carrying plasmid pKOX_NDM1. The bla NDM-1 genes of pYNKP001-NDM and pP10164-NDM are embedded in Tn125-like elements, which represent two distinct truncated versions of the NDM-1-encoding Tn125 prototype observed in pNDM-BJ01. Flanking of these two Tn125-like elements by miniature inverted repeat element (MITE) or its remnant indicates that MITE facilitates transposition and mobilization of bla NDM-1 gene contexts.
