Genome-based characterization of two Colombian clinical Providencia rettgeri isolates co-harboring NDM-1, VIM-2, and other ?-lactamases.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Providencia rettgeri is a nosocomial pathogen associated with urinary tract infections and related to Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI). In recent years isolates producing New Delhi Metallo-?-lactamase (NDM) and other ?-lactamases have been reported that reduce the efficiency of clinical antimicrobial treatments. In this study, we analyzed antibiotic resistance, the presence of resistance genes and the clonal relationship of two P. rettgeri isolates obtained from male patients admitted to the same hospital in Bogotá - Colombia, 2015. RESULTS:Antibiotic susceptibility profile evaluated by the Kirby-Bauer method revealed that both isolates were resistant to third-generation carbapenems and cephalosporins. Whole-genome sequencing (Illumina HiSeq) followed by SPAdes assembling, Prokka annotation in combination with an in-house Python program and resistance gene detection by ResFinder identified the same six ?-lactamase genes in both isolates: blaNDM-1, blaVIM-2, blaCTX-M-15, blaOXA-10, blaCMY-2 and blaTEM-1. Additionally, various resistance genes associated with antibiotic target alteration (arnA, PmrE, PmrF, LpxA, LpxC, gyrB, folP, murA, rpoB, rpsL, tet34) were found and four efflux pumps (RosAB, EmrD, mdtH and cmlA). The additional resistance to gentamicin in one of the two isolates could be explained by a detected SNP in CpxA (Cys191Arg) which is involved in the stress response of the bacterial envelope. Genome BLAST comparison using CGView, the ANI value (99.99%) and the pangenome (using Roary) phylogenetic tree (same clade, small distance) showed high similarity between the isolates. The rMLST analysis indicated that both isolates were typed as rST-61,696, same as the RB151 isolate previously isolated in Bucaramanga, Colombia, 2013, and the FDAARGOS_330 isolate isolated in the USA, 2015. CONCLUSIONS:We report the coexistence of the carbapenemase genes blaNDM-1, and blaVIM-2, together with the ?-lactamase genes blaCTX-M-15, blaOXA-10, blaCMY-2 and blaTEM-1, in P. rettgeri isolates from two patients in Colombia. Whole-genome sequence analysis indicated a circulation of P. rettgeri rST-61,696 strains in America that needs to be investigated further.

Project description:Providencia rettgeri has recently gained increased importance owing to the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) and other β-lactamases produced by its clinical isolates. These enzymes reduce the efficiency of antimicrobial therapy. Herein, we reported the findings of whole-genome sequence analysis and a comprehensive pan-genome analysis performed on a multidrug-resistant P. rettgeri 18004577 clinical strain recovered from the urine of a hospitalized patient in Shandong, China, in 2018. Providencia rettgeri 18004577 was found to have a genome assembly size of 4.6 Mb with a G + C content of 41%; a circular plasmid p18004577_NDM of 273.3 Kb, harboring an accessory multidrug-resistant region; and a circular, stable IncT plasmid p18004577_Rts of 146.2 Kb. Additionally, various resistance genes were identified in its genome, including bla NDM-1, bla OXA-10, bla PER-4, aph(3')-VI, ant(2'')-Ia, ant(3')-Ia, sul1, catB8, catA1, mph(E), and tet. Conjugation experiments and whole-genome sequencing revealed that the bla NDM-1 gene could be transferred to the transconjugant via the formation of pJ18004577_NDM, a novel hybrid plasmid. Based on the genetic comparison, the main possible formation process for pJ18004577_NDM was the insertion of the [ΔISKox2-IS26-ΔISKox2]-aph(3')-VI-bla NDM-1 translocatable unit module from p18004577_NDM into plasmid p18004577_Rts in the Russian doll insertion structure (ΔISKox2-IS26-ΔISKox2), which played a role similar to that of IS26 using the "copy-in" route in the mobilization of [aph(3')-VI]-bla NDM-1. The array, multiplicity, and diversity of the resistance and virulence genes in this strain necessitate stringent infection control, antibiotic stewardship, and periodic resistance surveillance/monitoring policies to preempt further horizontal and vertical spread of the resistance genes. Roary analysis based on 30 P. rettgeri strains pan genome identified 415 core, 756 soft core, 5,744 shell, and 12,967 cloud genes, highlighting the "close" nature of P. rettgeri pan-genome. After a comprehensive pan-genome analysis, representative biological information was revealed that included phylogenetic distances, presence or absence of genes across the P. rettgeri bacteria clade, and functional distribution of proteins. Moreover, pan-genome analysis has been shown to be an effective approach to better understand P. rettgeri bacteria because it helps develop various tailored therapeutic strategies based on their biological similarities and differences.
