IncN1 ST7 Epidemic Plasmid Carrying blaIMP-4 in One ST85-Type Klebsiella oxytoca Clinical Isolate with Porin Deficiency.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Klebsiella oxytoca is an opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial infections. This study was designed to characterize the genomic features of a carbapenem-resistant K. oxytoca strain and analyze its molecular characteristics.

Materials and methods

The strain wzx-IMP was isolated from the blood of a 2-year-old girl diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia-M7. Species identification was performed, and the minimal inhibitory concentration of the strain was measured. Multilocus sequence typing was performed to identify the subtypes of K. oxytoca. The transfer capacity of the blaIMP-4-harboring plasmid was investigated by conjugation experiments, and the genome characteristics of the strain were examined using whole-genome sequencing.

Results

wzx-IMP belongs to the ST85 type and is resistant to imipenem and meropenem, which harbored the blaIMP-4 gene. The blaIMP-4 gene was located in an IS26-associated class 1 integron of pwzx_IMP, which contains conserved IncN1-type backbone regions with a replication gene and its accessory structure for plasmid replication. The blaIMP-4-carrying plasmid in wzx-IMP was successfully transferred to Escherichia coli EC600 by conjugation. Whole-genome sequencing showed that the wzx-IMP isolate included the blaOXY-1-1 gene, accompanied by OmpK36 absence.

Conclusion

We report an ST85-type carbapenem-resistant K. oxytoca strain, which produces blaIMP-4 located in an IncN1-type plasmid and accompanied by OmpK36 porin deficiency.

Epidemic plasmid carrying bla(CTX-M-15) in Klebsiella penumoniae in China.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the local epidemiology of Klebsiella penumoniae carrying bla(CTX-M-15) in southern China and to characterize the genetic environment of bla(CTX-M-15).MethodsPCR and DNA sequencing were used to detect and characterize the genetic contexts of bla(CTX-M-15). The clonal relatedness of isolates carrying bla(CTX-M-15) was determined by pulse-field gel electrophoresis. Conjugative plasmids carrying bla(CTX-M-15) were obtained by mating and were further subject to restriction analysis and replicon typing.ResultsA total of 47CTX-M-15 ESBL-producing isolates of K. pneumoniae were collected from nine hospitals in China from October 2007 to October 2008. Isolates were clustered into various clonal groups. The local spread of bla(CTX-M-15) was mainly mediated by one major conjugative plasmid as determined by S1-PFGE and restriction analysis. A 90-kb plasmid belonging to incompatible group FII was the major carrier of bla(CTX-M-15) in K. pneumoniae. Except bla(TEM-1), the resistance genes such as bla(SHV), bla(DHA-1), bla(OXA-1), qnrB, qnrS, aac(3)-II, and aac(6')-Ib were not found in the plasmid. In the comparing of conjugative gene sequence, it is 100% identical with the plasmid pKF3-94, which was found in K. pneumonia from Zhejiang province of china previously.Conclusionsbla(CTX-M-15) was prevalent in K. pneumonia of southern China. The dissemination of bla(CTX-M-15) appeared to be due to the horizontal transfer of a 90-kb epidemic plasmid.

The pKO2 linear plasmid prophage of Klebsiella oxytoca.

Project description:Temperate bacteriophages with plasmid prophages are uncommon in nature, and of these only phages N15 and PY54 are known to have a linear plasmid prophage with closed hairpin telomeres. We report here the complete nucleotide sequence of the 51,601-bp Klebsiella oxytoca linear plasmid pKO2, and we demonstrate experimentally that it is also a prophage. We call this bacteriophage phiKO2. An analysis of the 64 predicted phiKO2 genes indicate that it is a fairly close relative of phage N15; they share a mosaic relationship that is typical of different members of double-stranded DNA tailed-phage groups. Although the head, tail shaft, and lysis genes are not recognizably homologous between these phages, other genes such as the plasmid partitioning, replicase, prophage repressor, and protelomerase genes (and their putative targets) are so similar that we predict that they must have nearly identical DNA binding specificities. The phiKO2 virion is unusual in that its phage lambda-like tails have an exceptionally long (3,433 amino acids) central tip tail fiber protein. The phiKO2 genome also carries putative homologues of bacterial dinI and umuD genes, both of which are involved in the host SOS response. We show that these divergently transcribed genes are regulated by LexA protein binding to a single target site that overlaps both promoters.

Characterization of FOX-3, an AmpC-type plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase from an Italian isolate of Klebsiella oxytoca.

Project description:Klebsiella oxytoca 1731, which showed a wide spectrum of resistance to beta-lactams, including cefoxitin, was isolated in 1994 from a patient in Genoa, Italy. This strain contained a plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase with a pI of 7.25. Sequencing of the corresponding DNA of K. oxytoca 1731 revealed 96 and 97% identities of the deduced amino acid sequence with FOX-1 and FOX-2, respectively.

Genome and Plasmid Analysis of blaIMP-4-Carrying Citrobacter freundii B38.

Project description:Sequencing of the blaIMP-4-carrying C. freundii B38 using the PacBio SMRT technique revealed that the genome contained a chromosome of 5,134,500 bp and three plasmids, pOZ172 (127,005 bp), pOZ181 (277,592 bp), and pOZ182 (18,467 bp). Plasmid pOZ172 was identified as IncFIIY, like pP10164-NDM and pNDM-EcGN174. It carries a class 1 integron with four cassettes (blaIMP-4-qacG2-aacA4-aphA15) and a complete hybrid tni module (tniR-tniQ-tniB-tniA). The recombination of tniR from Tn402 (identical) with tniQBA from Tn5053 (99%) occurred within the res site of Tn402/5053 The Tn402/5053-like integron, named Tn6017, was inserted into Tn1722 at the res II site. The replication, partitioning, and transfer systems of pOZ181 were similar to those of IncHI2 plasmids (e.g., R478) and contained a sul1-type class 1 integron with the cassette array orf-dfrA1-orf-gcu37-aadA5 linked to an upstream Tn1696 tnpA-tnpR and to a downstream 3' conserved sequence (3'-CS) and ISCR1 A Tn2 transposon encoding a blaTEM-1 β-lactamase was identified on pOZ182. Other interesting resistance determinants encoded on the B38 chromosome included multidrug resistance (MDR) efflux pumps, an AmpC β-lactamase, and resistances to Cu, Ag, As, and Zn. This is the first report of a complete tni module linked to a blaIMP-4-carrying class 1 integron, which, together with other recently reported non-sul1 integrons, represents the emergence of a distinct evolutionary lineage of class 1 integrons lacking a 3'-CS (qacEΔ1-sul1). The unique cassette array, complete tni module of Tn6017, and incompatibility group of pOZ172 suggest a blaIMP-4 evolutionary pathway in C. freundii B38 different from that for other blaIMP-4 genes found in Gram-negative bacteria in the Western Pacific region.

A P7 Phage-Like Plasmid Carrying mcr-1 in an ST15 Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolate.

Project description:A Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strain, named SCKP83, was isolated and found to be resistant to colistin thanks to the presence plasmid-borne colistin resistant gene mcr-1. The strain was subjected to whole genome sequencing and conjugation experiments. The subsequent analysis indicated that the strain belongs to ST15 and the capsular type K41. In SCKP83, mcr-1 was carried by a 97.4-kb non-self-transmissible plasmid, a 90.9-kb region of which was predicted as an intact phage. This phage was 47.79% GC content, encoded 105 proteins and contained three tRNAs. mcr-1 was located downstream of two copies of the insertion sequence ISApl1 (one complete and one truncated) and was inserted in the ant1 gene, which encodes a putative antirepressor for antagonizing C1 repression, in this phage. The phage is highly similar to phage P7 (77% coverage and 98% identity) from Escherichia coli. Several similar mcr-1-carrying plasmids have been found in E. coli at various locations in China, suggesting that these phage-like plasmids have circulated in China. The findings in this study suggest that the P7 phage-like plasmids are not restricted to E. coli and may represent new vehicles to mediate the inter-species spread of mcr-1.

Sequence Type 273 Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Carrying blaNDM-1 and blaIMP-4.

Project description:A carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate was recovered from human blood. Its whole-genome sequence was obtained using Illumina and long-read MinION sequencing. The strain belongs to sequence type 273 (ST273), which was found recently and caused an outbreak in Southeast Asia. It has two carbapenemase genes, blaNDM-1 (carried by an ST7 IncN self-transmissible plasmid) and blaIMP-4 (located on a self-transmissible IncHI5 plasmid). Non-KPC-producing ST237 may represent a lineage of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, which warrants further monitoring.

Two clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying plasmid-borne blaIMP-4, blaSHV-12, and armA isolated at a Pediatric Center in Shanghai, China.

Project description:Two cases of pulmonary infection due to strains of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were investigated. Beta-lactamase determinants, such as bla(IMP-4) and bla(SHV-12), and the 16S rRNA methyltransferase-encoding gene armA were detected in these plasmid-bearing organisms. The integron-borne bla(IMP-4) and armA contained intervening sequences highly related to those of a Vibrio cholerae O139 plasmid found in Hangzhou, China.
