Evolution and Comparative Genomics of F33:A-:B- Plasmids Carrying blaCTX-M-55 or blaCTX-M-65 in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Animals, Food Products, and Humans in China.

ABSTRACT: To understand the underlying evolution process of F33:A-:B- plasmids among Enterobacteriaceae isolates of various origins in China, the complete sequences of 17 blaCTX-M-harboring F33:A-:B- plasmids obtained from Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from different sources (animals, animal-derived food, and human clinics) in China were determined. F33:A-:B- plasmids shared similar plasmid backbones comprising replication, leading, and conjugative transfer regions and differed by the numbers of repeats in yddA and traD and by the presence of group II intron, except that pHNAH9 lacked a large segment of the leading and transfer regions. The variable regions of F33:A-B- plasmids were distinct and were inserted downstream of the addiction system pemI/pemK, identified as the integration hot spot among F33:A-B- plasmids. The variable region contained resistance genes and mobile elements or contained segments from other types of plasmids, such as IncI1, IncN1, and IncX1. Three plasmids encoding CTX-M-65 were very similar to our previously described pHN7A8 plasmid. Four CTX-M-55-producing plasmids contained multidrug resistance regions related to that of F2:A-B- plasmid pHK23a from Hong Kong. Five plasmids with IncN and/or IncX replication regions and IncI1-backbone fragments had variable regions related to those of pE80 and p42-2. The remaining five plasmids with IncN replicons and an IncI1 segment also possessed closely related variable regions. The diversity in variable regions was presumably associated with rearrangements, insertions, and/or deletions mediated by mobile elements, such as IS26 and IS1294IMPORTANCE Worldwide spread of antibiotic resistance genes among Enterobacteriaceae isolates is of great concern. F33:A-:B- plasmids are important vectors of resistance genes, such as blaCTX-M-55/-65, blaNDM-1, fosA3, and rmtB, among E. coli isolates from various sources in China. We determined and compared the complete sequences of 17 F33:A-:B- plasmids from various sources. These plasmids appear to have evolved from the same ancestor by mobile element-mediated rearrangement, acquisition, and/or loss of resistance modules and similar IncN1, IncI1, and/or IncX1 plasmid backbone segments. Our findings highlight the evolutionary potential of F33:A-:B- plasmids as efficient vectors to capture and diffuse clinically relevant resistance genes.

Project description:Conserved IncI1 and IncHI1 plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-1 have been found circulating in chickens and horses from continental Europe, respectively. In Canada, blaCTX-M-1 is overwhelmingly the most common blaCTX-M variant found in Escherichia coli from chicken and horses and can be recovered at lower frequencies in swine, cattle, and dogs. Whole-genome sequencing has identified a large genetic diversity of isolates carrying this variant, warranting further investigations into the plasmids carrying this gene. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe the genetic profiles of blaCTX-M-1 plasmids circulating in E. coli from Canadian domestic animals and compare them to those recovered in animals in Europe. Fifty-one blaCTX-M-1 positive E. coli isolates from chicken (n = 14), horses (racetrack horses n = 11; community horses n = 3), swine (n = 7), turkey (n = 6), dogs (n = 5), beef cattle (n = 3), and dairy cattle (n = 2) were selected for plasmid characterization. Sequences were obtained through both Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies. Genomes were assembled using either Unicycler hybrid assembly or Flye with polishing performed using Pilon. blaCTX-M-1 was found residing on a plasmid in 45 isolates and chromosomally located in six isolates. A conserved IncI1/ST3 plasmid was identified among chicken (n = 12), turkey (n = 4), swine (n = 6), dog (n = 2), and beef cattle (n = 2) isolates. When compared against publicly available data, these plasmids showed a high degree of similarity to those identified in isolates from poultry and swine in Europe. These results suggest that an epidemic IncI1/ST3 plasmid similar to the one found in Europe is contributing to the spread of blaCTX-M-1 in Canada. A conserved IncHI1/FIA(HI1)/ST2 plasmid was also recovered from nearly all racetrack horse isolates (n = 10). Although IncHI1/ST2 plasmids have been reported among European horse isolates, IncHI1/ST9 plasmids appear to be more widespread. Further studies are necessary to understand the factors contributing to these plasmids' success in their respective populations.

Project description:ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution of blaOXA among global Klebsiella pneumoniae and the characteristics of blaOXA-carrying K. pneumoniae.Materials and methodsThe genomes of global K. pneumoniae were downloaded from NCBI by Aspera software. After quality check, the distribution of blaOXA among the qualified genomes was investigated by annotation with the resistant determinant database. The phylogenetic tree was constructed for the blaOXA variants based on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to explore the evolutionary relationship between these variants. The MLST (multi-locus sequence type) website and blastn tools were utilized to determine the sequence types (STs) of these blaOXA-carrying strains. and sample resource, isolation country, date and host were extracted by perl program for analyzing the characteristics of these strains.ResultsA total of 12,356 K. pneumoniae genomes were downloaded and 11,429 ones were qualified. Among them, 4386 strains were found to carry 5610 blaOXA variants which belonged to 27 varieties of blaOXAs, blaOXA-1 (n = 2891, 51.5%) and blaOXA-9 (n = 969, 17.3%) were the most prevalent blaOXA variants, followed by blaOXA-48 (n = 800, 14.3%) and blaOXA-232 (n = 480, 8.6%). The phylogenetic tree displayed 8 clades, three of them were composed of carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase (CHO). Totally, 300 distinct STs were identified among 4386 strains with ST11 (n = 477, 10.9%) being the most predominant one followed by ST258 (n = 410, 9.4%). Homo sapiens (2696/4386, 61.5%) was the main host for blaOXA-carrying K. pneumoniae isolates. The blaOXA-9-carrying K. pneumoniae strains were mostly found in the United States and blaOXA-48-carrying K. pneumoniae strains were mainly distributed in Europe and Asia.ConclusionAmong the global K. pneumoniae, numerous blaOXA variants were identified with blaOXA-1, blaOXA-9, blaOXA-48 and blaOXA-232 being the most prevalent ones, indicating that blaOXA rapidly evolved under the selective pressure of antimicrobial agents. ST11 and ST258 were the main clones for blaOXA-carrying K. pneumoniae.
