Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polymyxins, the cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, are the last line of therapeutics against the MDR Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) pathogens. Unfortunately, the rising cases of polymyxin-resistant strains from across the globe have adversely impacted their utility. While the molecular mechanisms responsible for developing polymyxin resistance (PolR) are largely understood, the prevalence of PolR strains in India has not been investigated systematically. The current study was undertaken to primarily determine the prevalence of PolR strains in India. Moreover, the extent of the spread of mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes among the GNB strains in India was also determined. METHOD A systematic search for articles using the relevant inclusion and exclusion criteria was performed in the applicable databases for the period January 2015 to December 2023. The included 41 studies were subjected to a meta-analysis using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (V4.0). Publication biases were assessed using funnel plots and Egger's regression analysis. RESULT Considering a total of 41 studies including 24 589 bacterial isolates the present meta-analysis found the rate of PolR bacteria in India to be at 15.0% (95% CI: 11.2 to 19.8). Among the Indian States, Tamil Nadu topped with the highest prevalence of PolR at 28.3%. Investigating the contribution of the mcr genes, it was observed that among the PolR strains, 8.4% (95% CI: 4.8 to 14.3) were mcr positive. CONCLUSION The study determined the prevalence of PolR strains in India at 15.0%, which is higher than that of the global average at 10%. The study also determined that 8.4% of the PolR strains carried the mcr genes. The mcr-positive strains reported from India could be an underestimation of the actual numbers due to the non-inclusion of mcr screening in many previous studies. This study provides insight into the state of the PolR situation in India, which may be useful to develop a monitoring strategy to contain the spread of such strains and preserve the efficacy of the polymyxins.

Abstract
Background Colistin is used as a last resort for managing infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, the high emergence of colistin-resistant strains has restricted the clinical use of this antibiotic in the clinical setting. In the present study, we evaluated the global prevalence of the mutation in the mgrB gene, one of the most important mechanisms of colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Methods Several databases, including Scopus, Medline (via PubMed), and Web of Science, were searched (until August 2023) to identify those studies that address the mgrB mutation in clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae. Using Stata software, the pooled prevalence of mgrB mutation and subgroup analyses for the year of publication, country, continent, mgrB mutation types, and detection methods of mgrB mutation were analyzed. Results Out of the 115 studies included in the analysis, the prevalence of mgrB mutations in colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates was estimated at 65% of isolates, and mgrB variations with insertional inactivation had the highest prevalence among the five investigated mutations with 69%. The year subgroup analysis indicated an increase in mutated mgrB from 46% in 2014 to 61% in 2022. Europe had the highest prevalence of mutated mgrB at 73%, while Africa had the lowest at 54%. Conclusion Mutations in the mgrB gene are reported as one of the most common mechanisms of colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae, and the results of the present study showed that 65% of the reported colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae had a mutation in this gene.

Abstract
Rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the unavailability of newer drugs to tackle this menace is one of the major hindrances to the goal of health and well-being set up by the General Assembly of the United Nations. The genes responsible for this resistance are often disseminated from hospitals to different environmental sources. In 2015, for the first time, resistance to Colistin was detected caused by chromosomal genetic mutations. Later, plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (MCR-1 to MCR-10) was detected, first from China and then from various other countries. As per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), commonly available diffusion techniques cannot detect colistin resistance appropriately. Even commercial susceptibility systems fail in this regard. Keeping in mind the importance of surveillance of colistin-resistant bugs, we present an update on the prevalence, mechanism of resistance, and detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to public health globally. We studied the prevalence of colonization with extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (ESCrE), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and colistin-resistant Enterobacterales (Col-RE) in hospitals and the surrounding community in South India. METHODS Adults from 2 hospitals and the catchment community who consented to provide stool specimens were enrolled. Stools were plated on CHROMagar selective for ESCrE, CRE, and Col-RE. Bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were done using Vitek 2 Compact and disc diffusion testing. Colistin broth microdilution was performed for a subset of isolates. Prevalence estimates were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and differences were compared across populations using the Pearson χ 2 or Fisher exact test. RESULTS Between November 2020 and March 2022, 757 adults in the community and 556 hospitalized adults were enrolled. ESCrE colonization prevalence was 71.5% (95% CI, 68.1%-74.6%) in the community and 81.8% (95% CI, 78.4%-84.8%) in the hospital, whereas CRE colonization prevalence was 15.1% (95% CI, 12.7%-17.8%) in the community and 22.7% (95% CI, 19.4%-26.3%) in the hospital. Col-RE colonization prevalence was estimated to be 1.1% (95% CI, .5%-2.1%) in the community and 0.5% (95% CI, .2%-1.6%) in the hospital. ESCrE and CRE colonization in hospital participants was significantly higher compared with community participants (P < .001 for both). CONCLUSIONS High levels of colonization with antibiotic-resistant Enterobacterales were found in both community and hospital settings. This study highlights the importance of surveillance of colonization in these settings for understanding the burden of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
The emergence of genetic mutations in chromosomal genes and the transmissible plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene may have helped in the spread of colistin resistance among various Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) isolates and other different bacteria. In this study, the prevalence of mutated colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates was studied globally using a systematic review and meta-analysis approach. A systematic search was conducted in databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar. The pooled prevalence of mutated colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae isolates was analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA). A total of 50 articles were included in this study. The pooled prevalence of mutated colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae was estimated at 75.4% (95% CI = 67.2−82.1) at high heterogeneity (I2 = 81.742%, p-value < 0.001). Meanwhile, the results of the subgroup analysis demonstrated the highest prevalence in Saudi Arabia with 97.9% (95% CI = 74.1−99.9%) and Egypt, with 4.5% (95% CI = 0.6−26.1%), had the lowest. The majority of mutations could be observed in the mgrB gene (88%), pmrB gene (54%) and phoQ gene (44%). The current study showed a high prevalence of the mutation of colistin resistance genes in K. pneumoniae. Therefore, it is recommended that regular monitoring be performed to control the spread of colistin resistance.

Worldwide Prevalence of mcr-mediated Colistin-Resistance Escherichia coli in Isolates of Clinical Samples, Healthy Humans, and Livestock-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11060659. [PMID: 35745513 PMCID: PMC9230117 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11060659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious public-health problem throughout the world. Escherichia coli, the most common Gram-negative microorganism, has developed different resistance mechanisms, making treating infections difficult. Colistin is considered a last-resort drug in the treatment of infections caused by E. coli. Plasmid-mediated mobile-colistin-resistant (mcr) genes in E. coli, now disseminated globally, are considered a major public-health threat. Humans, chickens, and pigs are the main reservoirs for E. coli and the sources of antibiotic resistance. Hence, an up-to-date and precise estimate of the global prevalence of mcr resistance genes in these reservoirs is necessary to understand more precisely the worldwide spread and to more effectively implement control and prevention strategies. Methodology: Publications were identified in the PubMed database on the basis of the PRISMA guidelines. English full-text articles were selected from December 2014 to March 2021. Descriptive statistics and a meta-analysis were performed in Excel and R software, respectively. Colistin resistance was defined as the molecular-genetic detection of the mcr genes. The crude and estimated prevalence were calculated for each host and continent. The studies were divided into two groups; community-based when they involved isolates from healthy humans, chickens, or pigs, and clinical studies when they involved only hospital, outpatient, or laboratory isolates. Results: A total of 1278 studies were identified and 218 were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis, divided into community studies (159 studies) and clinical studies (59 studies). The general prevalence of mcr-mediated colistin-resistant E. coli (mcrMCRE) was 6.51% (n = 11,583/177,720), reported in 54 countries and on five continents; Asia with 119 studies followed by Europe with 61 studies registered the most articles. Asia reported the major diversity of mcr-variants (eight of nine, except mcr-2). Worldwide, chickens and pigs proved to be the principal reservoir of mcr with an estimated prevalence of 15.8% and 14.9%, respectively. Healthy humans and clinical isolates showed a lower prevalence with 7.4% and 4.2% respectively. Conclusions: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the worldwide prevalence of mcr in E. coli isolated from healthy humans, chickens, and pigs was investigated. A wide prevalence and distribution of mcr genes was demonstrated on all continents in E. coli isolates from the selected reservoirs. Understanding the epidemiology and occurrence in the reservoirs of mcr in E. coli on different continents of the world facilitates tracing how mcr genes are transmitted and determining the infection risks for humans. This knowledge can be used to reduce the incidence of zoonotic transmission by implementing the appropriate control programs.

Colistin Resistance Among Multiple Sequence Types of Klebsiella pneumoniae Is Associated With Diverse Resistance Mechanisms: A Report From India. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:609840. [PMID: 33692764 PMCID: PMC7937630 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.609840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The resistance to colistin and carbapenems in Klebsiella pneumoniae infections have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. A retrospective observational study was conducted to determine the prevalence and molecular events contributing to colistin resistance. Methods: Clinical samples were screened for colistin resistance and underlying mechanisms were studied by PCR-based amplification and sequence analysis of genes of two-component regulatory system (phoPQ and pmrAB), regulatory transmembrane protein-coding mgrB, and mobilized colistin resistance genes (mcr-1-8). Gene expression of pmrC and pmrK was analyzed by qRT-PCR, and the genetic relationship was assessed by MLST. The putative effect of amino-acid substitutions was predicted by a combination of bioinformatics tools. Results: Of 335 Klebsiella spp. screened, 11 (3.2%) were identified as colistin-resistant (MIC range, 8 to >128 μg/ml). K. pneumoniae isolates belonged to clonal complex-11 (CC11) with sequence types (STs): 14, 16, 43, 54, 147 and 395, whereby four isolates conferred three novel STs (3986, 3987 and 3988) profiles. Sequence analysis revealed non-synonymous potentially deleterious mutations in phoP (T151A), phoQ (del87–90, del263–264, L30Q, and A351D), pmrA (G53S), pmrB (D150V, T157P, L237R, G250C, A252G, R315P, and Q331H), and mgrB (C28G) genes. The mgrB gene in three strains was disrupted by insertion sequences encoding IS1-like and IS5/IS1182 family-like transposase genes. All 11 isolates showed an elevation in the transcription level of pmrC gene. Mobilized colistin-resistance (mcr) genes were not detected. All but one of the colistin-resistant isolates was also resistant to carbapenems; β-lactamase genes blaNDM-1-like, blaOXA-48-like, and blaCTX-M-like were detected in eight, five, and nine isolates, respectively. Conclusion: All the studied colistin- and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates were genetically distinct, and various mechanisms of colistin resistance were detected, indicating its spontaneous emergence in this bacterial species.
