Complete Genome Sequence of a Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Kentucky Sequence Type 198 Strain, PU131, Isolated from a Human Patient in Washington State.

ABSTRACT: Strains of the ciprofloxacin-resistant (Cipr) Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Kentucky sequence type 198 (ST198) have rapidly and extensively disseminated globally to become a major food safety and public health concern. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a CiprS. Kentucky ST198 strain, PU131, isolated from a human patient in Washington State (USA).

Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize extensively drug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky sequence type 198 (ST198) isolates from chicken meat products. Ten S. Kentucky strains obtained from chicken meat products in Xuancheng, China, carried 12 to 17 resistance genes, such as blaCTX-M-55, rmtB, tet(A), floR, and fosA3, combined with mutations within gyrA (S83F and D87N) and parC (S80I), resulting in resistance to numerous antimicrobial agents, including the clinically important antibiotics cephalosporin, ciprofloxacin, tigecycline, and fosfomycin. These S. Kentucky isolates shared a close phylogenetic relationship (21 to 36 single-nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) and showed close genetic relatedness to two human clinical isolates from China. Three S. Kentucky strains were subjected to whole-genome sequencing using Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) technology. All antimicrobial resistance genes were located on their chromosomes and clustered in one multiresistance region (MRR) and Salmonella genomic island (SGI) SGI1-K. The MRRs in three S. Kentucky strains were bounded by IS26 at both ends and were inserted downstream of the bcfABCDEFG cluster with 8-bp direct repeats. The MRRs were related to those of IncHI2 plasmids but differed by insertions, deletions, and rearrangements of multiple segments involving resistance genes and plasmid backbones. This finding suggests that the MRR fragment possibly originates from IncHI2 plasmids. Four SGI1-K variants with slight differences were identified in 10 S. Kentucky strains. Mobile elements, particularly IS26, play an essential role in forming distinct MRRs and SGI1-K structures. In conclusion, the emergence of extensively drug-resistant S. Kentucky ST198 strains containing numerous chromosomally located resistance genes is alarming and needs continued surveillance. IMPORTANCE Salmonella spp. are important foodborne pathogens, and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella strains have become a serious threat to clinical therapy. MDR S. Kentucky ST198 strains have been increasingly reported from various sources and have become a global risk. In this study, we described extensively drug-resistant S. Kentucky ST198 strains from chicken meat products from a city in China. Numerous resistance genes are clustered in the chromosomes of S. Kentucky ST198 strains, possibly acquired with the help of mobile elements. This would facilitate the spread of numerous resistance genes as intrinsic chromosomal genes within this global epidemic clone, with the potential to capture more resistance genes. The emergence and dissemination of extensively drug-resistant S. Kentucky ST198 pose a severe clinical and public health threat; therefore, continuous surveillance is warranted.

Project description:Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1) is a 43-kb integrative mobilizable element that harbors a great diversity of multidrug resistance gene clusters described in numerous Salmonella enterica serovars and also in Proteus mirabilis. The majority of SGI1 variants contain an In104-derivative complex class 1 integron inserted between resolvase gene res and open reading frame (ORF) S044 in SGI1. Recently, the international spread of ciprofloxacin-resistant S. enterica serovar Kentucky sequence type 198 (ST198) containing SGI1-K variants has been reported. A retrospective study was undertaken to characterize ST198 S. Kentucky strains isolated before the spread of the epidemic ST198-SGI1-K population in Africa and the Middle East. Here, we characterized 12 ST198 S. Kentucky strains isolated between 1969 and 1999, mainly from humans returning from Southeast Asia (n = 10 strains) or Israel (n = 1 strain) or from meat in Egypt (n = 1 strain). All these ST198 S. Kentucky strains did not belong to the XbaI pulsotype X1 associated with the African epidemic clone but to pulsotype X2. SGI1-J subgroup variants containing different complex integrons with a partial transposition module and inserted within ORF S023 of SGI1 were detected in six strains. The SGI1-J4 variant containing a partially deleted class 1 integron and thus showing a narrow resistance phenotype to sulfonamides was identified in two epidemiologically unrelated strains from Indonesia. The four remaining strains harbored a novel SGI1-J variant, named SGI1-J6, which contained aadA2, floR2, tetR(G)-tetA(G), and sul1 resistance genes within its complex integron. Moreover, in all these S. Kentucky isolates, a novel insertion sequence related to the IS630 family and named ISSen5 was found inserted upstream of the SGI1 complex integron in ORF S023. Thus, two subpopulations of S. Kentucky ST198 independently and exclusively acquired the SGI1 during the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike the ST198-X1 African epidemic subpopulation, the ST198-X2 subpopulation mainly from Asia harbors variants of the SGI1-J subgroup that are encountered mainly in the Far East, as previously described for S. enterica serovars Emek and Virchow.
