Project description:BackgroundThe burden of antibiotic resistant infection is mainly felt in low-to-middle income countries, where the rate of antimicrobial resistance is largely under-surveyed and under huge pressure from unregulated, disparate and often self-guided access to antimicrobials. Nosocomial infections from hospital environments have been shown to be a particularly prevalent source of multi-drug resistant strains, yet surveillance of hospital environmental contamination is often not investigated.MethodsThe study was prospective, observational and cross-sectional, sampling 231 high and low touch surfaces from 15th March to 13th April 2021, from five wards in the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Ghana. Microbial growth in the presence of vancomycin and either meropenem or cefotaxime was examined and bacterial species were identified by MALDI-TOF. The presence of common extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemase antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) were identified through PCR screening, which were confirmed by phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility determination. Isolates positive for carbapenem resistance genes were sequenced using a multi-platform approach.ResultsWe recovered microbial growth from 99% of swabs (n = 229/231) plated on agar in the absence of antimicrobials. Multiple sites were found to be colonised with resistant bacteria throughout the hospital setting. Bacteria with multi-drug resistance and ARG of concern were isolated from high and low touch points with evidence of strain dissemination throughout the environment. A total of 21 differing species of bacteria carrying ARG were isolated. The high prevalence of Acinetobacter baumannii carrying blaNDM-1 observed was further characterised by whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis to determine the relationship between resistant strains found in different wards.ConclusionEvidence of multiple clonal incursions of MDR bacteria of high sepsis risk were found in two separate wards for a regional hospital in Ghana. The prevalence of multiple blaNDM carrying species in combination with combinations of ESBLs was particularly concerning and unexpected in Africa. We also identify strains carrying tet(X3), blaVIM-5 or blaDIM-1 showing a high diversity of carbapenamases present as a reservoir in a hospital setting. Findings of multi-drug resistant bacteria from multiple environmental sites throughout the hospital will inform future IPC practices and aid research prioritisation for AMR in Ghana.

Project description:The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is emerging as a significant clinical concern in tertiary hospitals and in particular, long-term care facilities with deficiencies in infection control. This study aims to evaluate an advanced matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (A-MALDI) method for the identification of carbapenemases and further discrimination of their subtypes in clinical isolates. The A-MALDI method was employed to detect CPE target proteins. Enhancements were made to improve detectability and mass accuracy through the optimization of MALDI-TOF settings and internal mass calibration. A total of 581 clinical isolates were analyzed, including 469 CPE isolates (388 KPC, 51 NDM, 40 OXA, and 2 GES) and 112 carbapenemase-negative isolates. Clinical evaluation of the A-MALDI demonstrated 100% accuracy and precision in identifying all the collected CPE isolates. Additionally, A-MALDI successfully discriminated individual carbapenemase subtypes (KPC-2 or KPC-3/4; OXA-48 or OXA-181 or OXA-232; GES-5 or GES-24) and also differentiated co-producing carbapenemase strains (KPC & NDM; KPC & OXA; KPC & GES; NDM & OXA), attributed to its high mass accuracy and simultaneous detection capability. A-MALDI is considered a valuable diagnostic tool for accurately identifying CPE and carbapenemase’s subtypes in clinical isolates. It may also aid in selecting appropriate antibiotics for each carbapenemase subtype. Ultimately, we expect that the A-MALDI method will contribute to preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance and improving human public health.

Project description:Background: It remains unclear how high-risk Escherichia coli lineages, like sequence type (ST) 131, initially adapt to carbapenem exposure in its progression to becoming carbapenem resistant. Methods: Carbapenem mutation frequency was measured in multiple subclades of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) positive ST131 clinical isolates using a fluctuation assay followed by whole genome sequencing (WGS) characterization. Genomic, transcriptomic, and porin analyses of ST131 C2/H30Rx isolate, MB1860, under prolonged, increasing carbapenem exposure was performed using two distinct experimental evolutionary platforms to measure fast vs. slow adaptation. Results: All thirteen ESBL positive ST131 strains selected from a diverse (n=184) ST131 bacteremia cohort had detectable ertapenem (ETP) mutational frequencies with a statistically positive correlation between initial ESBL gene copy number and mutation frequency (r = 0.87, P<1e-5). WGS analysis of mutants showed initial response to ETP exposure resulted in significant increases in ESBL gene copy numbers or mutations in outer membrane porin (Omp) encoding genes in the absence of ESBL gene amplification with subclade specific adaptations. In both experimental evolutionary platforms, MB1860 responded to initial ETP exposure by increasing blaCTX-M-15 copy numbers via modular, insertion sequence 26 (IS26) mediated pseudocompound transposons (PCTns). Transposase activity driven by PCTn upregulation was a conserved expression signal in both experimental evolutionary platforms. Stable mutations in Omp encoding genes were detected only after prolonged increasing carbapenem exposure consistent with clinical observations. Conclusions: ESBL gene amplification is a conserved response to initial carbapenem exposure, especially within the high-risk ST131 C2 subclade. Targeting such amplification could assist with mitigating carbapenem resistance development.
