Genomic Analysis of two NDM-1 Providencia stuartii Strains Recovered from a Single Patient.

ABSTRACT: In the last years, an increasing number of untreatable infections caused by drug-resistant microbes have impacted the health care system. Worldwide, infections caused by carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative bacilli have dramatically increased. Among the CR-Gram-negative bacilli, those producing carbapenemases, such as NDM-1, are the main concern. Different Enterobacterales harboring NDM-1 have been reported lately. Providencia stuartii, a member of the Morganellaceae family, is ubiquitous in the environment, but is also known to cause nosocomial infections. Here we describe the genomic analysis of two NDM-1- producing P. stuartii strains recovered from the same patient as well as other carbapenem resistant strains recovered from the same hospital. As a result of the genomic analysis thirteen resistance genes, including three to β-lactams (bla_OXA-1, bla_TEM-1, bla_NDM-1), four to aminoglycosides (aphA6, aac(3)-IId, aac(2')-Ia, aac(6')-Ib-cr5), one to sulfonamides (sul1), two to chloramphenicol (catB3, catA3), one to rifampicin, one to bleomycin (ble), and one to tetracycline (tet(B)) were found. Moreover, a variety of mobile genetic elements, such as insertion sequences, plasmids and phage- related sequences, were found within P. stuartii genomes. The spread of carbapenem-resistant isolates remains a significant clinical and public health concern. Therefore, we considered that the detection of CR isolates is an essential step in addressing this problem.

Complete sequence of a novel 178-kilobase plasmid carrying bla(NDM-1) in a Providencia stuartii strain isolated in Afghanistan.

Project description:In response to global concerns over the spread of the New Delhi metallo-?-lactamase gene 1, bla(NDM-1), a monthly surveillance program was initiated in September 2010. All carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative strains forwarded to our facility are screened for this gene. To date, 321 carbapenem-resistant isolates, encompassing 11 bacterial species, have been tested. In February 2011, two strains of Providencia stuartii, submitted from a military hospital in Afghanistan, tested positive for bla(NDM-1). Both strains were identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). bla(NDM-1) was carried on a large plasmid, pMR0211, which was sequenced by emulsion PCR and pyrosequencing. pMR0211 is 178,277 bp in size and belongs to incompatibility group A/C. The plasmid consists of a backbone with considerable homology to pAR060302 from Escherichia coli, and it retains many of the antibiotic resistance genes associated with it. The plasmid also shares common elements with the pNDM-HK plasmid, including bla(NDM-1), armA, and sul1. However, gene orientation is reversed, and a 3-kb fragment from this region is absent from pMR0211. pMR0211 also contains additional genes, including the aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme loci aadA and aac(6'), the quinolone resistance gene qnrA, a gene with highest homology to a U32 family peptidase from Shewanella amazonensis, and the bla(OXA-10) gene. The finding of this gene in an intrinsically colistin-resistant species such as Providencia stuartii is especially worrisome, as it renders the organism resistant to nearly every available antibiotic. The presence of multiple insertion sequences and transposons flanking the region containing the bla(NDM-1) gene further highlights the potential mobility associated with this gene.

Genomic and phylogenetic analysis of two guinea pig adenovirus strains recovered from archival lung tissue.

Project description:Next generation sequencing was used to determine the whole genome sequence for two different strains of guinea pig adenovirus (GPAdV) detected in association with outbreaks of pneumonia in Australia in 1996, and in Germany in 1997 using total DNA extracted from infected archival frozen lung tissue as a template. The length of the determined genomic sequences was 37,031 bp and 37,070 bp, respectively. The nucleotide composition showed a relatively high content of guanine + cytosine (G + C) of 62 %. The 99.6 % nucleotide identity between the two sequenced viruses suggests that they may represent variants of the same genotype. The GPAdV genome exhibits the genomic features of a typical mastadenovirus with at least 32 open reading frames identified. Five novel open reading frames were found at the right end of the genomic sequence. One of them maps to the predicted E3 region and encodes a putative CR1 protein, two map to the E4 region, and two map to the l strand of L1 and L3, respectively. Our phylogenetic analysis of whole genome sequences showed that among the mammalian AdV species described to date, GPAdV is most closely related to MAdV-2 The characterization of this mastadenovirus species offers an opportunity to develop a new small animal model to study mammalian adenovirus pathogenesis.

Genomic Plasticity of Multidrug-Resistant NDM-1 Positive Clinical Isolate of Providencia rettgeri.

Project description:We performed a detailed whole-genome sequence analysis of Providencia rettgeri H1736, a multidrug-resistant clinical pathogen isolated in Israel in 2011. The objective was to describe the genomic flexibility of this bacterium that has greatly contributed to its pathogenicity. The genome has a chromosome size of 4,609,352 bp with 40.22% GC content. Five plasmids were predicted, as well as other mobile genetic elements (MGEs) including phages, genomic islands, and integrative and conjugative elements. The resistome consisted of a total of 27 different antibiotic resistance genes including blaNDM-1, mostly located on MGEs. Phenotypically, the bacteria displayed resistance to a total of ten different antimicrobial classes. Various features such as metabolic operons (including a novel carbapenem biosynthesis operon) and virulence genes were also borne on the MGEs, making P. rettgeri H1736 significantly different from other P. rettgeri isolates. A large quantity of the genetic diversity that exists in P. rettgeri H1736 was due to extensive horizontal gene transfer events, leading to an enormous presence of MGEs in its genome. Most of these changes contributed toward the pathogenic evolution of this bacterium.

Implication of porins in beta-lactam resistance of Providencia stuartii.

Project description:An integrative approach combining biophysical and microbiological methods was used to characterize the antibiotic translocation through the outer membrane of Providencia stuartii. Two novel members of the General Bacterial Porin family of Enterobacteriaceae, named OmpPst1 and OmpPst2, were identified in P. stuartii. In the presence of ertapenem (ERT), cefepime (FEP), and cefoxitin (FOX) in growth media, several resistant derivatives of P. stuartii ATCC 29914 showed OmpPst1-deficiency. These porin-deficient strains showed significant decrease of susceptibility to ?-lactam antibiotics. OmpPst1 and OmpPst2 were purified to homogeneity and reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers to study their biophysical characteristics and their interactions with ?-lactam molecules. Determination of ?-lactam translocation through OmpPst1 and OmpPst2 indicated that the strength of interaction decreased in the order of ertapenem ? cefepime > cefoxitin. Moreover, the translocation of these antibiotics through OmpPst1 was more efficient than through OmpPst2. Heterologous expression of OmpPst1 in the porin-deficient E. coli strain BL21(DE3)omp8 was associated with a higher antibiotic susceptibility of the E. coli cells to ?-lactams compared with expression of OmpPst2. All our data enlighten the involvement of porins in the resistance of P. stuartii to ?-lactam antibiotics.

Understanding Voltage Gating of Providencia stuartii Porins at Atomic Level.

Project description:Bacterial porins are water-filled ?-barrel channels that allow translocation of solutes across the outer membrane. They feature a constriction zone, contributed by the plunging of extracellular loop 3 (L3) into the channel lumen. Porins are generally in the open state, but undergo gating in response to external voltages. To date the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here we report results from molecular dynamics simulations on the two porins of Providenica stuartii, Omp-Pst1 and Omp-Pst2, which display distinct voltage sensitivities. Voltage gating was observed in Omp-Pst2, where the binding of cations in-between L3 and the barrel wall results in exposing a conserved aromatic residue in the channel lumen, thereby halting ion permeation. Comparison of Omp-Pst1 and Omp-Pst2 structures and trajectories suggests that their sensitivity to voltage is encoded in the hydrogen-bonding network anchoring L3 onto the barrel wall, as we observed that it is the strength of this network that governs the probability of cations binding behind L3. That Omp-Pst2 gating is observed only when ions flow against the electrostatic potential gradient of the channel furthermore suggests a possible role for this porin in the regulation of charge distribution across the outer membrane and bacterial homeostasis.

Genomic Analysis of Consecutive Acinetobacter baumannii Strains From a Single Patient.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important nosocomial pathogens, and thus it is required to investigate how it disseminate in hospitals and infect patients. We performed whole genome sequencing for 24 A. baumannii strains isolated successively from the blood of a single patient to evaluate whether repeated infections were due to re-infection or relapse infection and to investigate within-host evolution. The whole genome of the first strain, BL1, was sequenced de novo using the PacBio RSII system. BL2-BL24, were sequenced with an Illumina Hiseq4000 and mapped to the genome sequences of BL1. We identified 42 single-nucleotide variations among the strains. The SNVs differentiated the strains into three groups, BL1, BL2-BL16, and BL17-BL24, indicating that the patient suffered from re-infections or co-infections by similar, but different strains. The results also showed that A. baumannii strains in each group were rather stable at the genomic level. Our study emphasizes the importance of intensive infection control.
