Molecular and kinetic comparison of the novel extended-spectrum beta-lactamases CTX-M-25 and CTX-M-26.

ABSTRACT: CTX-M-25 is a novel extended-spectrum beta-lactamase isolated from a single Canadian Escherichia coli isolate. Susceptibility testing demonstrated that this enzyme confers resistance to both cefotaxime and ceftazidime, but the level of resistance was reduced with the addition of beta-lactamase inhibitors. The bla(CTX-M-25) gene was detected on a 111-kb plasmid. It is a member of the CTX-M-8 group and has the closest amino acid identity (99%; three amino acid substitutions) with CTX-M-26. The bla(CTX-M-26) gene was detected on a 100-kb plasmid isolated from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain from the United Kingdom, and plasmid profiling revealed that it showed some homology to the bla(CTX-M-25)-harboring plasmid. Both CTX-M genes were located downstream of ISEcp1, although the copy upstream of bla(CTX-M-25) was disrupted by IS50-A. Comparative kinetic studies of recombinant CTX-M-25 and CTX-M-26 enzymes showed that CTX-M-25 has a higher level of ceftazidime hydrolysis (kcat values, 33 and 0.005 s(-1) for CTX-M-25 and CTX-M-26, respectively).

Project description:The presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and resistance genes in aquatic environments is a serious public health concern. This study focused on Escherichia coli possessing blaCTX-M genes in wastewater inflows. Twelve crude inflow water samples from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) A and two samples each from three other WWTPs were collected in 2017 and 2018. A total of 73 E. coli isolates with 31 different sequence types (STs) harboring distinctive blaCTX-M gene repertoires were detected. In WWTP A influents, blaCTX-M-14 (14 isolates) was dominant, followed by blaCTX-M-15 (12 isolates) and blaCTX-M-27 (10 isolates). The chimeric blaCTX-M-64 and blaCTX-M-123 genes were each identified in one of the E. coli isolates from the same WWTP A inflow port. The blaCTX-M-27 gene was associated with five of seven B2-ST131 isolates, including three isolates of the B2-O25b-ST131-H30R/non-Rx lineage. One of the remaining two isolates belonged to the B2-O25b-ST131-H30R/Rx lineage harboring the blaCTX-M-15 gene. As for the B2-O25b-ST131-H30R/non-Rx lineage, two isolates with blaCTX-M-27 were recovered from each of the WWTP B and D influents, and one isolate with blaCTX-M-174 was also recovered from WWTP B influent. Whole-genome sequencing of chimeric blaCTX-M-harboring E. coli isolates revealed that the blaCTX-M-64 gene was integrated into the chromosome of ST10 E. coli B22 via ISEcp1-mediated transposition of a 9,467-bp sequence. The blaCTX-M-123-carrying IncI1 plasmid pB64 was 109,169 bp in length with pST108. The overall findings suggest that wastewater may act as a probable reservoir of clinically significant clonal lineages mediating antimicrobial resistance genes and chimeric genes that have not yet been identified from human isolates of domestic origin in Japan.IMPORTANCE Global spread of CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is a critical concern in both clinical and community settings. This dominance of CTX-M-type ESBL producers may be largely due to the successful international spread of epidemic clones, as represented by the extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) ST131. Our findings highlight the worrisome presence of diverse E. coli clones associated with humans, including ExPEC lineages harboring the most common blaCTX-M variants in untreated wastewater samples. Moreover, the chimeric genes blaCTX-M-64 and blaCTX-M-123, which have not yet been identified from human isolates of domestic origin in Japan, were identified. Exposure to untreated wastewater through combined sewer overflow caused by heavy rains derived from abnormal weather change could pose a risk for human health due to ingesting those antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
