Draft Genome Sequences of Nonclinical and Clinical Enterobacter cloacae Isolates Exhibiting Multiple Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Factors.

ABSTRACT: Enterobacter spp. have been implicated as opportunistic pathogens which over the years have gained resistance toward most of the available therapeutic drugs. We sequenced two multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates harboring multiple efflux pump genes. These isolates exhibited strain-specific modulation of efflux pump protein expression.

Detection of virulence and β-lactamase encoding genes in Enterobacter aerogenes and Enterobacter cloacae clinical isolates from Brazil.

Project description:Enterobacter cloacae and E. aerogenes have been increasingly reported as important opportunistic pathogens. In this study, a high prevalence of multi-drug resistant isolates from Brazil, harboring several β-lactamase encoding genes was found. Several virulence genes were observed in E. aerogenes, contrasting with the E. cloacae isolates which presented none.

A multiple antibiotic-resistant enterobacter cloacae strain isolated from a bioethanol fermentation facility.

Project description:An Enterobacter cloacae strain (E. cloacae F3S3) that was collected as part of a project to assess antibiotic resistance among bacteria isolated from bioethanol fermentation facilities demonstrated high levels of resistance to antibiotics added prophylactically to bioethanol fermentors. PCR assays revealed the presence of canonical genes encoding resistance to penicillin (ampC) and erythromycin (ermG). Assays measuring biofilm formation under antibiotic stress indicated that erythromycin induced biofilm formation in E. cloacae F3S3. Planktonic growth and biofilm formation were observed at a high ethanol content, indicating E. cloacae F3S3 can persist in a bioethanol fermentor under the highly variable environmental conditions found in fermentors.

Cluster Differences in Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, Mobility, and Virulence of Clinical Enterobacter cloacae Complex.

Project description:Due to the lack of research on the characteristics of different clusters of Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC), this study aimed to characterize and explore the differences among species of the ECC. An analysis based on hsp60 showed that Enterobacter hormaechei was predominant in ECC. Interestingly, the antibiotic resistance rates of clusters were different, among which E. hormaechei subsp. steigerwaltii (cluster VIII) and Enterobacter cloacae IX (cluster IX) possessed high resistant rates to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, but cluster II (Enterobacter kobei) had low resistant rates. Cluster II exhibited a strong biofilm formation ability. Different motility and protease production ability were shown for distinct clusters. A PCR analysis showed that clusters I, III, VI, VIII, and IX carried more virulence genes, while cluster II had fewer. Clusters I, VIII, and IX with high pathogenicity were evaluated using the Galleria mellonella infection model. Thus, the characteristics of resistance, biofilm-forming ability, mobility, and virulence differed among the clusters. The strains were divided into 12 subgroups based on hsp60. The main clusters of ECC clinical strains were I, II, III, VI, VIII, and IX, among which IX, VIII, and I were predominant with high resistance and pathogenicity, and cluster II (E. kobei) was a special taxon with a strong biofilm formation ability under nutrient deficiency, but was associated with low resistance, virulence, and pathogenicity. Hence, clinical classification methods to identify ECC subgroups are an urgent requirement to guide the treatment of clinical infections.

Connecting single-cell properties to collective behavior in multiple wild isolates of the Enterobacter cloacae complex.

Project description:Some strains of motile bacteria self-organize to form spatial patterns of high and low cell density over length scales that can be observed by eye. One such collective behavior is the formation in semisolid agar media of a high cell density swarm band. We isolated 7 wild strains of the Enterobacter cloacae complex capable of forming this band and found its propagation speed can vary 2.5 fold across strains. To connect such variability in collective motility to strain properties, each strain's single-cell motility and exponential growth rates were measured. The band speed did not significantly correlate with any individual strain property; however, a multilinear analysis revealed that the band speed was set by a combination of the run speed and tumbling frequency. Comparison of variability in closely-related wild isolates has the potential to reveal how changes in single-cell properties influence the collective behavior of populations.

Antibiotic failure mediated by a resistant subpopulation in Enterobacter cloacae.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat, further complicated by unexplained treatment failures caused by bacteria that appear antibiotic susceptible. We describe an Enterobacter cloacae isolate harbouring a minor subpopulation that is highly resistant to the last-line antibiotic colistin. This subpopulation was distinct from persisters, became predominant in colistin, returned to baseline after colistin removal and was dependent on the histidine kinase PhoQ. During murine infection, but in the absence of colistin, innate immune defences led to an increased frequency of the resistant subpopulation, leading to inefficacy of subsequent colistin therapy. An isolate with a lower-frequency colistin-resistant subpopulation similarly caused treatment failure but was misclassified as susceptible by current diagnostics once cultured outside the host. These data demonstrate the ability of low-frequency bacterial subpopulations to contribute to clinically relevant antibiotic resistance, elucidating an enigmatic cause of antibiotic treatment failure and highlighting the critical need for more sensitive diagnostics.

Molecular Characterization of IMP-1-Producing Enterobacter cloacae Complex Isolates in Tokyo.

Project description:Although KPC enzymes are most common among carbapenemases produced by Enterobacter cloacae complex globally, the epidemiology varies from one country to another. While previous studies have suggested that IMP enzymes are most common in Japan, detailed analysis has been scarce thus far. Here, we carried out a molecular epidemiological study and plasmid analysis of IMP-1-producing E. cloacae complex isolates collected from three hospitals in central Tokyo using whole-genome sequencing. Seventy-one isolates were classified into several sequence types (STs), and 49 isolates were identified as Enterobacter hormaechei ST78. Isolates of ST78 were divided into three clades by core-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogenetic analysis. Whereas isolates of clade 3 were isolated from only one hospital, isolates of clade 1 and 2 were identified from multiple hospitals. Ten of 12 clade 1 isolates and 1 of 4 clade 2 isolates carried blaIMP-1 on IncHI2 plasmids, with high similarity of genetic structures. In addition, these plasmids shared backbone structures with IncHI2 plasmids carrying blaIMP reported from other countries of the Asia-Pacific region. All isolates of clade 3 except one carried blaIMP-1 in In1426 on IncW plasmids. An isolate of clade 3, which lacked IncW plasmids, carried blaIMP-1 in In1426 on an IncFIB plasmid. These observations suggest that IMP-producing E. cloacae complex isolates with a diversity of host genomic backgrounds have spread in central Tokyo, and they indicate the possible contribution of IncHI2 plasmids toward this phenomenon.
