[PMID: 38391577 PMCID: PMC10886086 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13020191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) strains have become a global threat due to their remarkable capability to survive and disseminate successfully by the acquisition of resistance genes. As a result, the treatment strategies have been severely compromised. Due to the insufficient available data regarding P. aeruginosa resistance from Pakistan, we aimed to investigate the resistance mechanisms of 249 P. aeruginosa strains by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, polymerase chain reaction for the detection of carbapenemases, aminoglycoside resistance genes, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), sequence typing and plasmid typing. Furthermore, we tested silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to evaluate their in vitro sensitivity against antimicrobial-resistant P. aeruginosa strains. We observed higher resistance against antimicrobials in the general surgery ward, general medicine ward and wound samples. Phenotypic carbapenemase-producer strains comprised 80.7% (201/249) with 89.0% (179/201) demonstrating genes encoding carbapenemases: blaNDM-1 (32.96%), blaOXA48 (37.43%), blaIMP (7.26%), blaVIM (5.03%), blaKPC-2 (1.12%), blaNDM-1/blaOXA48 (13.97%), blaOXA-48/blaVIM (1.68%) and blaVIM/blaIMP (0.56%). Aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme genes and 16S rRNA methylase variants were detected in 43.8% (109/249) strains: aac(6')-lb (12.8%), aac(3)-lla (12.0%), rmtB (21.1%), rmtC (11.0%), armA (12.8%), rmtD (4.6%), rmtF (6.4%), rmtB/aac(3)-lla (8.2%), rmtB/aac(6')-lla (7.3%) and rmtB/armA (3.6%). In total, 43.0% (77/179) of the strains coharbored carbapenemases and aminoglycoside resistance genes with 83.1% resistant to at least 1 agent in 3 or more classes and 16.9% resistant to every class of antimicrobials tested. Thirteen sequence types (STs) were identified: ST235, ST277, ST234, ST170, ST381, ST175, ST1455, ST1963, ST313, ST207, ST664, ST357 and ST348. Plasmid replicon types IncFI, IncFII, IncA/C, IncL/M, IncN, IncX, IncR and IncFIIK and MOB types F11, F12, H121, P131 and P3 were detected. Meropenem/AgNPs and Amikacin/AgNPs showed enhanced antibacterial activity. We reported the coexistence of carbapenemases and aminoglycoside resistance genes among carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa with diverse clonal lineages from Pakistan. Furthermore, we highlighted AgNP's potential role in handling future antimicrobial resistance concerns.

Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob 2024; 23:13. [PMID: 38347529 PMCID: PMC10863134 DOI: 10.1186/s12941-024-00674-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR-PA) isolates have been increasingly detected and posed great challenges to clinical anti-infection treatments. However, little is known about extensively resistant hypervirulent P. aeruginosa (XDR-hvPA). In this study, we investigate its epidemiological characteristics and provide important basis for preventing its dissemination. METHODS Clinical XDR-PA isolates were collected from January 2018 to January 2023 and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry; antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution method, and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were evaluated. Virulence was evaluated using the Galleria mellonella infection model; molecular characteristics, including resistance genes, virulence genes, and homology, were determined using whole-genome sequencing. RESULTS A total of 77 XDR-PA strains were collected; 47/77 strains were XDR-hvPA. Patients aged > 60 years showed a significantly higher detection rate of XDR-hvPA than of XDR-non-hvPA. Among the 47 XDR-hvPA strains, 24 strains carried a carbapenemase gene, including blaGES-1 (10/47), blaVIM-2 (6/47), blaGES-14 (4/47), blaIMP-45 (2/47), blaKPC-2 (1/47), and blaNDM-14 (1/47). ExoU, exoT, exoY, and exoS, important virulence factors of PA, were found in 31/47, 47/47, 46/47, and 29/47 strains, respectively. Notably, two XDR-hvPA simultaneously co-carried exoU and exoS. Six serotypes (O1, O4-O7, and O11) were detected; O11 (19/47), O7 (13/47), and O4 (9/47) were the most prevalent. In 2018-2020, O4 and O7 were the most prevalent serotypes; 2021 onward, O11 (16/26) was the most prevalent serotype. Fourteen types of ST were detected, mainly ST235 (14/47), ST1158 (13/47), and ST1800 (7/47). Five global epidemic ST235 XDR-hvPA carried blaGES and showed the MIC value of ceftazidime/avibactam reached the susceptibility breakpoint (8/4 mg/L). CONCLUSIONS The clinical detection rate of XDR-hvPA is unexpectedly high, particularly in patients aged > 60 years, who are seemingly more susceptible to contracting this infection. Clonal transmission of XDR-hvPA carrying blaGES, which belongs to the global epidemic ST235, was noted. Therefore, the monitoring of XDR-hvPA should be strengthened, particularly for elderly hospitalized patients, to prevent its spread.

Worldwide Dissemination of blaKPC Gene by Novel Mobilization Platforms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Systematic Review. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12040658. [PMID: 37107020 PMCID: PMC10134989 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12040658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The dissemination of blaKPC-harboring Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KPC-Pa) is considered a serious public health problem. This study provides an overview of the epidemiology of these isolates to try to elucidate novel mobilization platforms that could contribute to their worldwide spread. A systematic review in PubMed and EMBASE was performed to find articles published up to June 2022. In addition, a search algorithm using NCBI databases was developed to identify sequences that contain possible mobilization platforms. After that, the sequences were filtered and pair-aligned to describe the blaKPC genetic environment. We found 691 KPC-Pa isolates belonging to 41 different sequence types and recovered from 14 countries. Although the blaKPC gene is still mobilized by the transposon Tn4401, the non-Tn4401 elements (NTEKPC) were the most frequent. Our analysis allowed us to identify 25 different NTEKPC, mainly belonging to the NTEKPC-I, and a new type (proposed as IVa) was also observed. This is the first systematic review that consolidates information about the behavior of the blaKPC acquisition in P. aeruginosa and the genetic platforms implied in its successful worldwide spread. Our results show high NTEKPC prevalence in P. aeruginosa and an accelerated dynamic of unrelated clones. All information collected in this review was used to build an interactive online map.

Abstract
The high rates of carbapenem resistance among Brazilian Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates are mainly associated with the clone ST277 producing the carbapenemase SPM-1. Here, the complete genetic composition of a IncP plasmid harboring blaKPC-2 in isolates of this endemic clone carrying chromosomal blaSPM-1 was described using whole genome sequencing. These results confirm the association of these two carbapenemases in ST277 and also describe the genetic composition of a novel blaKPC-2-plasmid. Considering the fact that this association occurs in a high-risk clone, monitoring the dissemination of this plasmid should be a public health concern.

Genomic analysis of an extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST312 harbouring IncU plasmid-mediated bla KPC-2 isolated from ascitic fluid. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2021; 25:151-153.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) is disseminated worldwide mostly by plasmids. However, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosomal mutations are more frequently responsible for resistance to carbapenems than the acquisition of mobile elements harbouring carbapenemases genes. Indeed, although uncommon, KPC-2-producing P. aeruginosa has appeared more frequently, including in Brazil. Here we report the first genomic analysis of a plasmid-mediated KPC-2 in an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa isolated in Santa Catarina, Brazil. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed according to CLSI 2020 guidelines. The genome was sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq platform and the data were analysed using SPAdes and Prokka. In silico predictions were fulfilled using curated bioinformatics tools. RESULTS Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain MIMA_PA2.1 (JACGTM000000000) was classified as XDR, belongs to sequence type 312 (ST312) and harbours the blaKPC-2 gene located on a small (7975 bp) IncU plasmid. This plasmid showed 86.3% identity with a non-conjugative plasmid (KC609322) carrying the blaKPC-2 gene from a multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (ST1006) from Colombia isolated in 2006. Besides the blaKPC-2 gene, other resistance genes to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, phenicol, fosfomycin and quinolones were detected, the last two also associated with mobile genetic elements other than the IncU plasmid described here. CONCLUSION This is the first genomic report of the presence of the blaKPC-2 gene carried by Pseudomonas in Southern Brazil and highlights the adaptability of blaKPC-2 to different mobile elements. This draft genome might be useful for comparative genomic analyses to monitor the spread of plasmid-mediated blaKPC in P. aeruginosa in Latin America.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa high-risk clones are disseminated worldwide and they are common causative agents of hospital-acquired infections. In this review, we will summarize available data of high-risk P. aeruginosa clones from confirmed outbreaks and based on whole-genome sequence data. Common feature of high-risk clones is the production of beta-lactamases and among metallo-beta-lactamases NDM, VIM and IMP types are widely disseminated in different sequence types (STs), by contrast FIM type has been reported in ST235 in Italy, whereas GIM type in ST111 in Germany. In the case of ST277, it is most frequently detected in Brazil and it carries a resistome linked to blaSPM. Colistin resistance develops among P. aeruginosa clones in a lesser extent compared to other resistance mechanisms, as ST235 strains remain mainly susceptible to colistin however, some reports described mcr positive P. aeurigonsa ST235. Transferable quinolone resistance determinants are detected in P. aeruginosa high-risk clones and aac(6′)-Ib-cr variant is the most frequently reported as this determinant is incorporated in integrons. Additionally, qnrVC1 was recently detected in ST773 in Hungary and in ST175 in Spain. Continuous monitoring and surveillance programs are mandatory to track high-risk clones and to analyze emergence of novel clones as well as novel resistance determinants.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) have been reported as cause of serious hospital-acquired infections worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro activity of ceftolozane-tazobactam compared to other agents against GNB isolated from patients admitted to Brazilian medical centers between the years 2016 and 2017. Presence of β-lactamase encoding genes was also evaluated. Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of GNB isolated from intra-abdominal (IAI), respiratory (RTI), and urinary tract infections (UTI) was performed according to ISO 227-1 guidelines and interpreted following CLSI and BrCAST/EUCAST guidelines. Qualifying Enterobacteriaceae isolates were screened for the presence of β-lactamase genes by PCR followed by DNA sequencing. Results 1748 GNB collected from UTI (45.2%), IAI (25.7%) and RTI (29.1%) were evaluated. Ceftolozane-tazobactam remained highly active (94.7%) against E. coli isolates. Among K. pneumoniae, susceptibility rates were 85.9% and 85.4% for amikacin and colistin, whereas ceftolozane-tazobactam (44.1% susceptible) and carbapenems (55.2-62.2% susceptible) showed poor activity due to blaKPC-2. Against E. cloacae amikacin, imipenem, and meropenem retained good activity (>90%). Ceftolozane-tazobactam was the most potent β-lactam agent tested against P. aeruginosa (90.9% susceptible), including ceftazidime and imipenem resistant isolates. β-lactamase encoding genes testing was carried out in 433 isolates. blaCTX-M variants were predominant in E. coli, P. mirabilis and E. cloacae. Among the K. pneumoniae molecularly tested, most carried blaKPC (68.5%), with all harboring blaKPC-2, except two isolates carrying blaKPC-3 or blaKPC-30. ESBL encoding genes, mainly CTX-M family, were frequently detected in K. pneumoniae, plasmid-mediated AmpC were rare. A variety of PDC encoding genes were detected in P. aeruginosa isolates with five isolates harboring MBL and one KPC encoding genes. Conclusion Ceftolozane-tazobactam was very active against E. coli, P. mirabilis and P. aeruginosa isolates and could constitute an excellent therapeutic option including for those isolates resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems but not producers of carbapenemases.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major health concern globally and treating infections caused by MDR-isolates unarguably a humongous challenge that remains an unmet need in modern medicine. To determine patterns and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and its spread over the years in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 88 P. aeruginosa isolates were selected from 1995 to 2015. Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of antimicrobial resistance was evaluated and isolates were submitted to clonality by PFGE and MLST. PFGE analysis showed a great variability of clonal groups mainly over the past 10 years of this study. STs predominant in the early years (ST804, ST1860, ST487 and ST1602) associated to multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype were replaced by ST277, ST244, ST1945, ST1791 with extensive drug resistance (XDR) in last years, with significant increase in resistance to carbapenems, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. Colistin resistance was detected in 3.5%. The main mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance were mutational mechanisms (mutations in oprD, mexT and gyrA genes). We found the ESBL genes blaTEM (n = 2), blaSHV (n = 3) and blaCTX (n = 1).The carbapenemases genes was present in ST277 (blaSPM, n = 3), ST1560 (blaKPC, n = 3) and ST1944 (blaKPC, n = 2). The 16S RNA methylase gene (rmtD) was found in five isolates belonged to ST277. In conclusion, molecular epidemiological investigation reveals an increase of antimicrobial resistance in P. aeruginosa over 21 years in Rio de Janeiro with higher population structure and occurrence of high risk clone in the last years. The mutational mechanisms of resistance were present in all XDR isolates.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a global concern in public health. Antibiotic-resistant clones can spread nationally, internationally, and globally. This review considers representative antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacterial clones-CTX-M- 15-producing ST131 in Escherichia coli, extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing ST11 and KPC-producing ST258 in Klebsiella pneumoniae, IMP-6-producing, carbapenem-resistant ST235 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and OXA-23-producing global clone 2 in Acinetobacter baumannii-that have disseminated worldwide, including in Korea. The findings highlight the urgency for systematic monitoring and international cooperation to suppress the emergence and propagation of antibiotic resistance.
