New Ceftriaxone- and Multidrug-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strain with a Novel Mosaic penA Gene Isolated in Japan.

ABSTRACT: We have characterized in detail a new ceftriaxone- and multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain (FC428) isolated in Japan in 2015. FC428 differed from previous ceftriaxone-resistant strains and contained a novel mosaic penA allele encoding a new mosaic penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP 2). However, the resistance-determining 3'-terminal region of penA was almost identical to the regions of two previously reported ceftriaxone-resistant strains from Australia and Japan, indicating that both ceftriaxone-resistant strains and conserved ceftriaxone resistance-determining PBP 2 regions might spread.

Identification of ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae FC428 clone and isolates harboring a novel mosaic penA gene in Chengdu in 2019-2020.

Project description:BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance in gonorrhea has become a growing global public health burden. Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates with resistance to ceftriaxone, the last remaining first-line option, represent an emerging threat of untreatable gonorrhea.MethodsA total of ten ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae FC428 isolates and two isolates harboring a novel mosaic penA-232.001 allele from 160 gonococcal isolates in Chengdu in 2019-2020 was described in the present study. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and N. gonorrhoeae sequence typing for antimicrobial resistance (NG-STAR) were performed to characterize the isolates. Whole genome sequencing and maximum-likelihood method were performed to infer how the genetic phylogenetic tree of these isolates looks like. Recombination analysis was performed using the RDP4 software. This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100048771, registration date: 20210716).ResultsThe genetic phylogeny showed that the ten FC428 isolates sporadically clustered into different phylogenetic clades, suggesting different introductions and local transmission of FC428. Two isolates showed close genetic relatedness to ceftriaxone-resistant clone A8806, which was only reported from Australia in 2013. Homologous recombination events were detected in penA between Neisseria gonorrhoeae and commensal Neisseria species (N. perflava and N. polysaccharea), providing evidence of commensal Neisseria species might serve as reservoirs of ceftriaxone resistance-mediating penA sequences in clinical gonococcal strains.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate further dissemination of FC428 in China and resurgence risks of sporadic ceftriaxone-resistant A8806 to become the next clone to spread.

High-level cefixime- and ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in France: novel penA mosaic allele in a successful international clone causes treatment failure.

Project description:Recently, the first Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain (H041) highly resistant to the expanded-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) ceftriaxone and cefixime, which are the last remaining options for first-line gonorrhea treatment, was isolated in Japan. Here, we confirm and characterize a second strain (F89) with high-level cefixime and ceftriaxone resistance which was isolated in France and most likely caused a treatment failure with cefixime. F89 was examined using six species-confirmatory tests, antibiograms (33 antimicrobials), porB sequencing, N. gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and sequencing of known gonococcal resistance determinants (penA, mtrR, penB, ponA, and pilQ). F89 was assigned to MLST sequence type 1901 (ST1901) and NG-MAST ST1407, which is a successful gonococcal clone that has spread globally. F89 has high-level resistance to cefixime (MIC = 4 μg/ml) and ceftriaxone (MIC = 1 to 2 μg/ml) and resistance to most other antimicrobials examined. A novel penA mosaic allele (penA-CI), which was penA-XXXIV with an additional A501P alteration in penicillin-binding protein 2, was the primary determinant for high-level ESC resistance, as determined by transformation into a set of recipient strains. N. gonorrhoeae appears to be emerging as a superbug, and in certain circumstances and settings, gonorrhea may become untreatable. Investigations of the biological fitness and enhanced understanding and monitoring of the ESC-resistant clones and their international transmission are required. Enhanced disease control activities, antimicrobial resistance control and surveillance worldwide, and public health response plans for global (and national) perspectives are also crucial. Nevertheless, new treatment strategies and/or drugs and, ideally, a vaccine are essential to develop for efficacious gonorrhea management.

Cooperative Recognition of Internationally Disseminated Ceftriaxone-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strain.

Project description:Ceftriaxone remains a first-line treatment for patients infected by Neisseria gonorrhoeae in most settings. We investigated the possible spread of a ceftriaxone-resistant FC428 N. gonorrhoeae clone in Japan after recent isolation of similar strains in Denmark (GK124) and Canada (47707). We report 2 instances of the FC428 clone in Australia in heterosexual men traveling from Asia. Our bioinformatic analyses included core single-nucleotide variation phylogeny and in silico molecular typing; phylogenetic analysis showed close genetic relatedness among all 5 isolates. Results showed multilocus sequence type 1903; N. gonorrhoeae sequence typing for antimicrobial resistance (NG-STAR) 233; and harboring of mosaic penA allele encoding alterations A311V and T483S (penA-60.001), associated with ceftriaxone resistance. Our results provide further evidence of international transmission of ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. We recommend increasing awareness of international spread of this drug-resistant strain, strengthening surveillance to include identifying treatment failures and contacts, and strengthening international sharing of data.

Ceftriaxone-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Canada, 2017.

Project description:We identified a ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolate in a patient in Canada. This isolate carried the penA-60 allele, which differs substantially from its closest relative, mosaic penA XXVII (80% nucleotide identity). Epidemiologic and genomic data suggest spread from Asia. Antimicrobial susceptibility surveillance helps prevent spread of highly resistant N. gonorrhoeae strains.

Increase in Multidrug Resistant <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> FC428-Like Isolates Harboring the Mosaic penA 60.001 Gene, in Nanjing, China (2017-2020).

Project description:BackgroundSince the first Chinese report of the ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae FC428 clone in 2016, additional FC428-like, penA 60.001 isolates have been identified in China.ObjectiveTo document the rise in penA 60.001 isolates in Nanjing, China, and characterize their molecular and epidemiological features.MethodsN. gonorrhoeae minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs, mg/L) for ceftriaxone, cefixime, penicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, spectinomycin, gentamicin and zoliflodacin were determined by agar dilution. MICs for ertapenem were measured by E-test. N. gonorrhoeae antimicrobial sequence typing (NG-STAR) of seven loci (penA, mtrR, porB, ponA, gyrA, parC and 23S rRNA) was analyzed together with N. gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Phylogenetic analysis was also performed using whole genomic sequencing (WGS).ResultsFourteen FC428-related penA 60.001 N. gonorrhoeae infections were identified out of 677 infections from 2017 to 2020, in Nanjing, representing an incremental yearly rise in the percentage of the city's N. gonorrhoeae isolates that were FC428-related. Seven FC428-related N. gonorrhoeae infections were acquired in Nanjing, proper; four others in eastern Chinese cities and three from unknown locations. All FC428-related isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and penicillin but susceptible to spectinomycin, gentamicin, ertapenem and zoliflodacin; three strains were resistant to azithromycin. penA 60.001 isolates displayed closely related MLST types and NG-STAR types but relatively distant NG-MAST types. WGS showed a phylogenetic analysis that intermingled with other international isolates.ConclusionpenA 60.001 N. gonorrhoeae isolates emerged in Nanjing, China, beginning in 2017, and have continued to rise.

Neisseria cinerea with High Ceftriaxone MIC Is a Source of Ceftriaxone and Cefixime Resistance-Mediating penA Sequences in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Project description:Mosaic penA alleles have caused most of the cephalosporin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but their evolution is mostly unknown. The penA gene from Neisseria cinerea strain AM1601 (ceftriaxone MIC, 1.0 μg/ml) caused ceftriaxone resistance (MIC, 1 μg/ml) in a ceftriaxone-susceptible gonococcal strain. The 3'-terminal half of AM1601 penA was almost identical to that of the ceftriaxone-resistant gonococcal GU140106 and FC428 strains. N. cinerea can serve as a reservoir of ceftriaxone resistance-mediating penA sequences that can be transferred to gonococci.
