Characterization of Chromosome-Mediated BlaOXA-894 in Shewanella xiamenensis Isolated from Pig Wastewater.

ABSTRACT: A new variant of the blaOXA-546 gene, namely blaOXA-894, was identified on the chromosome of Shewanella xiamenensis isolated from pig wastewater in rural China. OXA-894 differs from OXA-546 (A46V, I219del) and OXA-48 (T167I, I219del) with two amino acid substitutions, respectively. The isolate was resistant to ampicillin, aztreonam, imipenem, meropenem and fosfomycin. Carba NP test confirmed S. xiamenensis strain sx20 as a carbapenemase-producer. The blaOXA-894 gene was located between the gene encoding a LysR family transcriptional regulator and the C15 gene. Its gene environment was similar to other S. xiamenensis with chromosome-located blaOXA-48-like genes. The T24H and T94V amino acid substitutions of LuxS protein were predicted to be deleterious, which may affect the virulence phenotype. The occurrence and potential health risk of carbapenem-resistant S. xiamenensis in a water environment is of concern.

Project description:Introductionbla(OXA-48) is a globally emerging carbapenemase-encoding gene. The progenitor of bla(OXA-48) appears to be a Shewanella species. The presence of the bla(OXA-48)-like gene was investigated for two Shewanella xiamenensis strains.MethodsStrain WCJ25 was recovered from post-surgical abdominal drainages, while S4 was the type strain of S. xiamenensis. Species identification for WCJ25 was established by sequencing the 16S rDNA and gyrB genes. PCR was used to screen the bla(OXA-48)-like genes and to obtain their complete sequences. A phylogenetic tree of the bla(OXA-48)-like genes was constructed. The genetic context of the bla(OXA-48)-like gene in strain WCJ25 was investigated by inverse PCR using self-ligated AseI- or RsaI-restricted WCJ25 DNA fragments as template, while that in strain S4 was determined by PCR mapping using that in WCJ25 as template.ResultsA new bla(OXA-48) variant, designated bla(OXA-48b), with four silent nucleotide differences from the bla(OXA-48) (designated bla(OXA-48a)) found in the Enterobacteriaceae was identified in strain S4. Strain WCJ25 had a new bla(OXA-48)-like variant, bla(OXA-199), with five nucleotide differences from bla(OXA-48)a and bla(OXA-48b). The OXA-199 protein has three amino acid substitutions (H37Y, V44A and D153G) compared with OXA-48. Both bla(OXA-48b) and bla(OXA-199) were found adjacent to genes encoding a peptidase (indicated as orf), a protein of unknown function (sprT), an endonuclease I (endA), and a ribosomal RNA methyl transferase (rsmE) upstream and to transcriptional regulator gene lysR and an acetyl-CoA carboxylase-encoding gene downstream. In addition, the insertion sequence ISShes2 was found inserted downstream of bla(OXA-199) but not of bla(OXA-48b). The 26 bp sequences upstream and 63 bp downstream of bla(OXA-48a), bla(OXA-48b) and bla(OXA-199) were identical.Conclusionsbla(OXA-48a), bla(OXA-48b) and bla(OXA-199) might have a common origin, suggesting that the bla(OXA-48a) gene found in the Enterobacteriaceae could have originated from the chromosome of S. xiamenensis.
