Outbreak of CTX-M-15-Producing Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli O159:H20 in the Republic of Korea in 2016.

ABSTRACT: We investigated an outbreak of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) O159:H20 associated with the consumption of a tossed-noodle dish in a high school in 2016. Thirty-three ETEC strains isolated from clinical and food samples were genetically indistinguishable. The outbreak strains were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins and harbored a blaCTX-M-15 gene on a 97-kb self-transferable IncK plasmid. This is the first outbreak caused by CTX-M-15-producing ETEC strains.

Characterization of a CTX-M-15 Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae Outbreak Strain Assigned to a Novel Sequence Type (1427).

Project description:Extended-spectrum -lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged as one of the major nosocomial pathogens. Between July and September 2012, a CTX-M-15 producing K. pneumoniae caused an outbreak in a university hospital in the Netherlands. The outbreak isolates were characterized and assigned to a novel sequence type (ST1427). An epidemiological link between affected patients was supported by patient contact tracing and whole-genome phylogenetic analysis. Intra-strain polymorphism was detected among multiple isolates obtained from different body sites of the index patient, which may relate to antibiotic treatment and/or host adaptation. Environmental contamination caused by the outbreak clone was found in the patient rooms even on medical equipment. The novel clone was not closely related to any known endemic/epidemic clone, but carried a set of a plasmid-borne resistance genes [bla CTX-M-15, bla TEM-1, bla OXA-1, aac(6')-Ib-cr, qnrB1, tetA(A), aac(3)-II]. Analysis of its virulence factors revealed a previously uncharacterized capsular biosynthesis region and two uncharacterized fimbriae gene clusters, and suggested that the new clone was not hypervirulent. To our knowledge, this is the first outbreak report of K. pneumoniae ST1427, and our study could be of help to understand the features of this newly emerging clone.

Co-infection With Chromosomally-Located bla CTX-M-14 and Plasmid-Encoding bla CTX-M-15 in Pathogenic Escherichia coli in the Republic of Korea.

Project description:The emergence of third-generation cephalosporin resistance in Escherichia coli is increasing at an alarming rate in many countries. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze co-infecting bla CTX-M-producing pathogenic E. coli isolates linked to three school outbreaks. Among 66 E. coli isolates, 44 were identified as ETEC O25, an ETEC isolate serotype was O2, and the other 21 were confirmed as EAEC O44. Interestingly, six patients were co-infected with EAEC O44 and ETEC O25. For these isolates, molecular analysis [antibiotic susceptibility testing, identification of the β-lactamase gene, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)] was performed for further characterization. In addition, the transmission capacity of bla CTX-M genes was examined by conjugation experiments. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on representative EAEC O44 and ETEC O25 isolates associated with co-infection and single-infection. All isolates were resistant to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone. All EAEC isolates carried the bla CTX-M-14 gene and all ETEC isolates the bla CTX-M-15 gene, as detected by multiplex PCR and sequencing analysis. Sequence type and PFGE results indicated three different patterns depending on the O serotype. WGS results of representative isolates revealed that the ETEC O25 strains harbored bla CTX-M-15 located on IncK plasmids associated with the Δbla TEM-bla CTX-M-15-orf477 transposon. The representative EAEC O44 isolates carried bla CTX-M-14 on the chromosome, which was surrounded by the ISEcp1-bla CTX-M-14-IS903 transposon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of co-infection with chromosomally located bla CTX-M-14 and plasmid-encoding bla CTX-M-15 in pathogenic E. coli. Our findings indicate that resistance genes in clinical isolates can spread through concurrent combinations of chromosomes and plasmids.

Clonal CTX-M-15-Producing Escherichia coli ST-949 Are Present in German Surface Water.

Project description:Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacterial isolates are emerging within the last years. To understand this emergence, a thorough genome-based analysis of ESBL isolates from different sources (One Health approach) is needed. Among these, analysis of surface water is underrepresented. Therefore, we performed a genome-based analysis of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates from surface water samples. Water samples were collected from eleven different surface water sites (lakes, river). ESBL-producing E. coli were recovered from these samples using filters and chromogenic media. Whole-genome sequencing of ESBL-producing E. coli was performed followed by determination of the multilocus sequence type (ST), ESBL-type, and virulence genes. Phylogenetic analysis was done using single nucleotide analysis. From all water samples taken, nineteen ESBL-producing E. coli were recovered. All of them harbored an ESBL gene. Nine different multilocus STs were determined, among which ST-949 was the ST detected most frequently. Phylogenetic analysis of ST-949 isolates revealed that all those isolates were closely related. In addition, they harbored an identical chromosomal insertion of bla CTX-M-15 , indicating a clonal relationship among these isolates. Genetic comparison with isolates from all over the world revealed that these isolates were closely related to human clinical isolates derived from New Zealand and Sweden. An ESBL-producing E. coli ST-949 clone was detected in German surface waters. Its close relationship to human clinical isolates suggests its ability to colonize or even infect humans. Our findings reveal that water sources indeed may play a hitherto underreported role in spread of ESBL-producing isolates.

Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of CTX-M-15 Producing Klebsiella Isolates Allowed Dissecting a Polyclonal Outbreak Scenario.

Project description:Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae pose an important threat of infection with increased morbidity and mortality, especially for immunocompromised patients. Here, we use the rise of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae in a German neurorehabilitation center from April 2015 to April 2016 to dissect the benefit of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for outbreak analyses. In total, 53 isolates were obtained from 52 patients and examined using WGS. Two independent analysis strategies (reference-based and -free) revealed the same distinct clusters of two CTX-M-15 producing K. pneumoniae clones (ST15, n = 31; ST405, n = 7) and one CTX-M-15 producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strain (ST414, n = 8). Additionally, we determined sequence variations associated with antimicrobial resistance phenotypes in single isolates expressing carbapenem and colistin resistance, respectively. For rapid detection of the major K. pneumoniae outbreak clone (ST15), a selective triplex PCR was deduced from WGS data of the major outbreak strain and K. pneumoniae genome data deposited in central databases. Moreover, we introduce two novel open-source applications supporting reference genome selection (refRank; https://gitlab.com/s.fuchs/refRank) and alignment-based SNP-filtering (SNPfilter; https://gitlab.com/s.fuchs/snpfilter) in NGS analyses.

Carriage of CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli isolates among children living in a remote village in Senegal.

Project description:Two out of 20 children with no known antibiotic exposure, living in a very remote Senegalese village, were found to be fecal carriers of a multiresistant Escherichia coli clone that produced CTX-M-15. This highlights the current massive spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, even in isolated communities.

CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum ?-lactamase in a shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolate of serotype O111:H8.

Project description:We report the discovery of a CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) of serogroup O111:H8, a major serotype responsible for human enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections. In line with the recent CTX-M-15/O104:H4 E. coli outbreak, these data may reflect an accelerating spread of resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins within the E. coli population, including STEC isolates.
