Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacter hormaechei ST1103 with IMP-26 Carbapenemase and ESBL Gene bla SHV-178.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:To investigate the occurrence and genetic characteristics of the bla IMP-26-positive plasmid from a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate, Enterobacter hormaechei L51. Methods:Species identification was determined by MALDI-TOF MS and Sanger sequencing. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the agar dilution and broth microdilution. Whole-genome sequencing was conducted using Illumina HiSeq 4000-PE150 and PacBio Sequel platforms, and the genome was annotated by the RAST annotation server. The ANI analysis of genomes was performed using OAT. Phylogenetic reconstruction and analyses were performed using the Harvest suite based on the core-genome SNPs of 61 publicly available E. hormaechei genomes. Results:The E. hormaechei L51 genome consists of a 5,018,729 bp circular chromosome and a 343,918 bp conjugative IncHI2/2A plasmid pEHZJ1 encoding bla IMP-26 which surrounding genetic context was intI1-bla IMP-26-ltrA-qacE?1-sul1. A new sequence type (ST1103) was assigned for the isolate L51 which was resistant to cephalosporins, carbapenems, but sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam, amikacin, tigecycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and colistin. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that E. hormaechei L51 belonged to the same subspecies as the reference strain E. hormaechei SCEH020042, however 18,248 divergent SNP were identified. Resistance genes in pEHZJ1 including aac(3)-IIc, aac(6') -IIc, bla SHV-178, bla DHA-1, bla TEM-1, bla IMP-26, ereA2, catII, fosA5, qnrB4, tet(D), sul1 and dfrA19. Conclusion:In our study, we identified a conjugative IncHI2/2A plasmid carrying bla IMP-26 and bla SHV-178 in E. hormaechei ST1103, a novel multidrug-resistant strain isolated from China, and describe the underlying resistance mechanisms of the strain and detailed genetic context of mega plasmid pEHZJ1.

Project description:PurposeTo explore the genetic characteristics of the IMP-4 and SFO-1 co-producing multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical isolates, Enterobacter hormaechei YQ13422hy and YQ13530hy.MethodsMALDI-TOF MS was used for species identification. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were tested by PCR and Sanger sequencing analysis. In addition to agar dilution, broth microdilution was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis was conducted using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and Oxford Nanopore platforms. Annotation was performed by RAST on the genome. The phylogenetic tree was achieved using kSNP3.0. Plasmid characterization was conducted using S1-pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (S1-PFGE), Southern blotting, conjugation experiments, and whole genome sequencing (WGS). An in-depth study of the conjugation module was conducted using the OriTFinder website. The genetic context of bla IMP-4 and bla SFO-1 was analyzed using BLAST Ring Image Generator (BRIG) and Easyfig 2.3.ResultsYQ13422hy and YQ13530hy, two MDR strains of ST51 E. hormaechei harboring bla IMP-4 and bla SFO-1, were identified. They were only sensitive to meropenem, amikacin and polymyxin B, and were resistant to cephalosporins, aztreonam, piperacillin/tazobactam and aminoglycosides, intermediate to imipenem. The genetic context surrounding bla IMP-4 was 5'CS-hin-1-IS26-IntI1-bla IMP-4-IS6100-ecoRII. The integron of bla IMP-4 is In823, which is the array of gene cassettes of 5'CS-bla IMP-4. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that E. hormaechei YQ13422hy and YQ13530hy belonged to the same small clusters with a high degree of homology.ConclusionThis observation revealed the dissemination of the bla IMP-4 gene in E. hormaechei in China. We found that bla IMP-4 and bla SFO-1 co-exist in MDR clinical E. hormaechei isolates. This work showed a transferable IncN-type plasmid carrying the bla IMP-4 resistance gene in E. hormaechei. We examined the potential resistance mechanisms of pYQ13422-IMP-4 and pYQ13422-SFO-1, along with their detailed genetic contexts.
