Project description:Background and Objectives:New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase (NDM) is a newly emerging metallo-ß-lactamases, which can destroy all ?-lactams including carbapenems. Therefore, this study aimed at evaluating New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase-1-production in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Kashan, Iran. Materials and Methods:In a cross-sectional study, 181 K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from clinical samples of patients, who referred to Shahid Beheshi hospital in Kashan during November 2013 and October 2014. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were determined using disk diffusion method, according to CLSI guidelines. Metallo-ß-lactamase (MBL) production was identified among imipenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates using imipenem-EDTA double disk synergy test (EDTA-IMP DDST). PCR method and sequencing were used to detect integron Class 1 and blaNDM-1 gene. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software Version 16. Results:Of the 181 K. pneumoniae isolates, 36 (19.9 %) were imipenem-resistant strains. A total of 28 out of 36 (77.7%) imipenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates were identified as MBL producer strains. Also, 150 (82.9%) K. pneumoniae isolates carried intI1 gene, and 20 (11.1%) K. pneumoniae isolates harbored blaNDM-1 gene. Conclusion:Our study revealed a high frequency of MBL production and the presence of blaNDM-1 among K. pneumoniae strains, especially among hospitalized patients, which is alarming. Moreover, the presence of Class 1 integrons in all multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae isolates highlights the risk of rapid spread of the resistance genes, especially in clinical settings.

Project description:Polymyxins are last-line antibiotics employed against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae. Worryingly, polymyxin resistance is rapidly on the rise globally. Polymyxins initially target lipid A of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) in the cell outer membrane (OM), causing disorganization and cell lysis. While most studies focus on how genetic variations confer polymyxin resistance, the mechanisms of membrane remodeling and metabolic changes in polymyxin-resistant strains remain unclear, thus hampering the development of effective therapies to treat severe K. pneumoniae infections. In the present study, lipid A profiling, OM lipidomics, genomics, and metabolomics were integrated to elucidate the global mechanisms of polymyxin resistance and metabolic adaptation in a polymyxin-resistant strain (strain S01R; MIC of >128 mg/L) obtained from K. pneumoniae strain S01, a polymyxin-susceptible (MIC of 2 mg/L), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing MDR clinical isolate. Genomic analysis revealed a novel in-frame deletion at position V258 of PhoQ in S01R, potentially leading to lipid A modification with 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose (L-Ara4N) despite the absence of polymyxin B. Comparative metabolomic analysis revealed slightly elevated levels of energy production and amino acid metabolism in S01R compared to their levels in S01. Exposure to polymyxin B (4 mg/L for S01 and 512 mg/L for S01R) substantially altered energy, nucleotide, and amino acid metabolism and resulted in greater accumulation of lipids in both strains. Furthermore, the change induced by polymyxin B treatment was dramatic at both 1 and 4 h in S01 but only significant at 4 h in S01R. Overall, profound metabolic adaptation was observed in S01R following polymyxin B treatment. These findings contribute to our understanding of polymyxin resistance mechanisms in problematic NDM-producing K. pneumoniae strains and may facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. The emergence of resistance to the polymyxins that are the last line of defense in so-called Gram-negative "superbugs" has further increased the urgency to develop novel therapies. There are frequent outbreaks of K. pneumoniae infections in hospitals being reported, and polymyxin usage is increasing remarkably. Importantly, the polymyxin-resistant K. pneumoniae strains are imposing more severe consequences to health systems. Using metabolomics, lipid A profiling, and outer membrane lipidomics, our findings reveal (i) changes in the pentose phosphate pathway and amino acid and nucleotide metabolism in a susceptible strain following polymyxin treatment and (ii) how cellular metabolism, lipid A modification, and outer membrane remodeling were altered in K. pneumoniae following the acquisition of polymyxin resistance. Our study provides, for the first time, mechanistic insights into metabolic responses to polymyxin treatment in a multidrug-resistant, NDM-producing K. pneumoniae clinical isolate with acquired polymyxin resistance. Overall, these results will assist in identifying new therapeutic targets to combat and prevent polymyxin resistance.

Project description:Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates harboring New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) were isolated from a patient who had returned to Canada from India. The NDM-1 gene was found on closely related incompatibility group A/C type plasmids. The occurrence of NDM-1 in North America is a major public health concern.

Project description:Seventeen Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates carrying the bla(VIM-1) metallo-beta-lactamase gene were collected in the intensive care units of three hospitals in Athens, Greece, in 2002. They exhibited various carbapenem resistance levels (Etest MICs of imipenem ranged from 4 to 32 microg/ml). All isolates gave positive results by the imipenem-EDTA synergy Etest. The isolates were classified into four main types by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; the majority of the isolates (5 and 10 isolates) belonged to two types. The bla(VIM-1) gene cassette was part of the variable region of a class 1 integron that also included aac6, dhfrI, and aadA. This structure was carried by transferable plasmids.

Project description:IntroductionInfections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a significant cause of death worldwide, and carbapenemase-producing bacteria are the principal agents. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP-NDM-1) is an extensively drug-resistant bacterium that has been previously reported in Mexico. Our aim was to conduct a case-control study to describe the risk factors associated with nosocomial infections caused by K. pneumoniae producing NDM-1 in a tertiary-care hospital in Mexico.MethodsA retrospective case-control study with patients hospitalized from January 2012 to February 2018 at the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde" was designed. During this period, 139 patients with a culture that was positive for K. pneumoniae NDM-1 (cases) and 486 patients hospitalized in the same department and on the same date as the cases (controls) were included. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 24, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate the risk factors for KP-NDM-1 infection.ResultsOne hundred and thirty-nine case patients with a KP-NDM-1 isolate and 486 control patients were analyzed. In the case group, acute renal failure was a significant comorbidity, hospitalization days were extended, and significantly more deaths occurred. In a multivariate analysis of risk factors, the independent variables included the previous use of antibiotics (odds ratio, OR = 12.252), the use of a urinary catheter (OR = 5.985), the use of a central venous catheter (OR = 5.518), the use of mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.459), and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (OR = 2.334) as predictors of infection with NDM-1 K. pneumoniae.ConclusionIn this study, the previous use of antibiotics, the use of a urinary catheter, the use of a central venous catheter, the use of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stay were shown to be predictors of infection with NDM-1 K. pneumoniae and were independent risk factors for infection with NDM-1 K. pneumoniae.

Project description:We characterized 9 New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (5 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 2 Escherichia coli, 1 Enterobacter cloacae, 1 Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg) isolates identified in the United States and cultured from 8 patients in 5 states during April 2009-March 2011. Isolates were resistant to β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides, demonstrated MICs ≤1 µg/mL of colistin and polymyxin, and yielded positive metallo-β-lactamase screening results. Eight isolates had blaNDM-1, and 1 isolate had a novel allele (blaNDM-6). All 8 patients had recently been in India or Pakistan, where 6 received inpatient health care. Plasmids carrying blaNDM frequently carried AmpC or extended spectrum β-lactamase genes. Two K. pneumoniae isolates and a K. pneumoniae isolate from Sweden shared incompatibility group A/C plasmids with indistinguishable restriction patterns and a common blaNDM fragment; all 3 were multilocus sequence type 14. Restriction profiles of the remaining New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase plasmids, including 2 from the same patient, were diverse.

Project description:The emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKp) is a new threat to healthcare. In this study, we analyzed nine CR-hvKp isolates of different sequence-types (ST) recovered from patients with nosocomial infections in two hospitals in Saint Petersburg. Whole-genome sequencing showed that eight of them harbored large mosaic plasmids carrying resistance to carbapenems and hypervirulence simultaneously, and four different types of hybrid plasmids were identified. BLAST analysis showed a high identity with two hybrid plasmids originating in the UK and Czech Republic. We demonstrated that hybrid plasmids emerged due to the acquisition of resistance genes by virulent plasmids. Moreover, one of the hybrid plasmids carried a novel New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) variant, differing from NDM-1 by one amino acid substitution (D130N), which did not provide significant evolutionary advantages compared to NDM-1. The discovery of structurally similar plasmids in geographically distant regions suggests that the actual distribution of hybrid plasmids carrying virulence and resistance genes is much wider than expected.
