Chromobacterium haemolyticum Pneumonia Associated with Near-Drowning and River Water, Japan.

ABSTRACT: We report a severe case of Chromobacterium haemolyticum pneumonia associated with near-drowning and detail the investigation of the pathogen and river water. Our genomic and environmental investigation demonstrated that river water in a temperate region can be a source of C. haemolyticum causing human infections.

Meningitis caused by Chromobacterium haemolyticum suspected to be derived from a canal in Japan: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThe genus Chromobacterium, of which 12 species have been recognized, comprises bacteria that reside in tropical and subtropical environments. Of these species, Chromobacterium violaceum and Chromobacterium haemolyticum are known to cause infections in humans. There have been few reports of infections caused by Chromobacterium haemolyticum.Case presentationChromobacterium haemolyticum was detected in spinal fluid and blood samples isolated from a 73-year-old Japanese male patient who fell into a canal in Kyoto City, Japan and developed bacteremia and meningitis. Although meropenem and vancomycin were administered, this patient died 9 days after admission. Although the infection was misidentified as being caused by Chromobacterium violaceum by conventional identification methods, average nucleotide identity analysis revealed that the causative pathogen was Chromobacterium haemolyticum. The same bacteria were also detected in the canal in which the accident occurred. Phylogenetic analysis of the strain isolated from the patient and the strain isolated from the canal suggested that the two strains were very closely related.ConclusionsChromobacterium haemolyticum can be misidentified as Chromobacterium violaceum by conventional identification methods and tends to be more resistant to β-lactams than Chromobacterium violaceum. Pigment production and β-hemolysis on blood sheep agar can provide clues for the early identification of Chromobacterium haemolyticum.

Biochemical and Structural Characterization of CRH-1, a Carbapenemase from Chromobacterium haemolyticum Related to KPC β-Lactamases.

Project description:KPC-2 is one of the most relevant serine-carbapenemases among the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. We previously isolated from the environmental species Chromobacterium haemolyticum a class A CRH-1 β-lactamase displaying 69% amino acid sequence identity with KPC-2. The objective of this study was to analyze the kinetic behavior and crystallographic structure of this β-lactamase. Our results showed that CRH-1 can hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins (except ceftazidime), and carbapenems with similar efficacy compared to KPC-2. Inhibition kinetics showed that CRH-1 is not well inhibited by clavulanic acid, in contrast to efficient inhibition by avibactam (AVI). The high-resolution crystal of the apoenzyme showed that CRH-1 has a similar folding compared to other class A β-lactamases. The CRH-1/AVI complex showed that AVI adopts a chair conformation, stabilized by hydrogen bonds to Ser70, Ser237, Asn132, and Thr235. Our findings highlight the biochemical and structural similarities of CRH-1 and KPC-2 and the potential clinical impact of this carbapenemase in the event of recruitment by pathogenic bacterial species.

Francisella novicida bacteremia after a near-drowning accident.

Project description:We describe a rare case of Francisella novicida bacteremia following a near-drowning event in seawater. We highlight the challenges associated with laboratory identification of F. novicida and differences in the epidemiology of F. novicida and Francisella tularensis infections.
