Evaluation and analysis of multidrug resistance- and hypervirulence-associated genes in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains among children in an area of China for five consecutive years. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1280012. [PMID: 37901827 PMCID: PMC10602738 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1280012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is a growing threat. It is urgent to investigate the multidrug resistance and high virulence of CRPA to provide a basis for infection control and rational use of antibiotics. Methods A retrospective study of 56 nonduplicated CRPA isolates was conducted. Results CRPA mainly came from the intensive care unit (ICU) and was mostly isolated from sputum samples. The carbapenem resistance rates of P. aeruginosa were 21.37% (2016), 10.62, 5.88, 10 and 13.87% from 2016 to 2020, respectively. Carbapenem-resistant enzymes and aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme-encoding genes were detected in all isolates, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase and cephalosporin enzyme-encoding genes were present in 96.43 and 80.38% of isolates, respectively. The detection rate of OprM showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the ICU and other wards. Genes related to biofilms, membrane channel proteins, I integrons and efflux systems were detected in all isolates, with detection rates greater than 90%. CRPA was strongly virulent, and over 80% of isolates carried hypervirulence-associated genes (exoU, exoS, exoT, and exoY). The drug resistance rates of cefepime and piperacillin/tazobactam showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between strains with exoU (+) and exoU (-) (p < 0.05). Notably, out of the 7 individuals who died, 4 had extensively drug-resistant P. aeruginosa (57.14%). Discussion The detection rates of various resistance and virulence genes were high, and the coexistence phenomenon was serious. In clinical practice, antibiotics should be used reasonably based on different drug resistance genes to ensure the rationality and safety of patient medication.

Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0010523.

Abstract
This study investigated the resistance mechanisms and the distribution and proportions of virulence genes, including exoU, in 182 imipenem-nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (INS-PA) strains collected from China in 2019. There was no obvious prevalent sequence type or concentrated evolutionary multilocus sequence typing (MLST) type on the INS-PA phylogenetic tree in China. All of the INS-PA isolates harbored β-lactamases with/without other antimicrobial mechanisms, such as gross disruption of oprD and overexpression of efflux genes. Compared with exoU-negative isolates, exoU-positive isolates (25.3%, 46/182) presented higher virulence in A549 cell cytotoxicity assays. The southeast region of China had the highest proportion (52.2%, 24/46) of exoU-positive strains. The most frequent exoU-positive strains belonged to sequence type 463 (ST463) (23.9%, 11/46) and presented multiple resistance mechanisms and higher virulence in the Galleria mellonella infection model. The complex resistance mechanisms in INS-PA and the emergence of ST463 exoU-positive, multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa strains in southeast China indicated a challenge that might lead to clinical treatment failure and higher mortality. IMPORTANCE This study investigates the resistance mechanisms and distribution and proportions of virulence genes of imipenem-nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (INS-PA) isolates in China in 2019. Harboring PDC and OXA-50-like genes is discovered as the most prevalent resistance mechanism in INS-PA, and the virulence of exoU-positive INS-PA isolates was significantly higher than that of exoU-negative INS-PA isolates. There was an emergence of ST463 exoU-positive INS-PA isolates in Zhejiang, China, most of which presented multidrug resistance and hypervirulence.

Carbapenemase-loaded outer membrane vesicles protect Pseudomonas aeruginosa by degrading imipenem and promoting mutation of antimicrobial resistance gene. Drug Resist Updat 2023; 68:100952.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-loaded outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in protecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa against imipenem treatment and its mechanism. METHODS The OMVs of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP) were isolated and purified from the supernatant of bacterial culture by using ultracentrifugation and Optiprep density gradient ultracentrifugation. The transmission electron microscope, bicinchoninic acid, PCR and carbapenemase colloidal gold assays were applied to characterize the OMVs. Bacterial growth and larvae infection experiments were performed to explore the protective function of KPC-loaded OMVs for P. aeruginosa under imipenem treatment. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to investigate the mechanism of P. aeruginosa resistance phenotype mediated by OMVs. RESULTS CRKP secreted OMVs loaded with KPC, which protect P. aeruginosa from imipenem through hydrolysis of antibiotics in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, carbapenem-resistant subpopulations were developed in P. aeruginosa by low concentrations of OMVs that were confirmed to inadequately hydrolyze imipenem. Interestingly, none of the carbapenem-resistant subpopulations obtained the exogenous antibiotic resistance genes, but all of them possessed OprD mutations, which was consistent with the mechanism of P. aeruginosa induced by sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations of imipenem. CONCLUSIONS OMVs containing KPC provide a novel route for P. aeruginosa to acquire an antibiotic-resistant phenotype in vivo.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12031189. [PMID: 36769837 PMCID: PMC9917919 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12031189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to analyse the distribution of antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR) among Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa, PA) isolates from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (GDPH) from 2017 to 2021, and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on changes in the clinical distribution and drug resistance rate of P. aeruginosa to establish guidelines for empiric therapy. Electronic clinical data registry records from 2017 to 2021 were retrospectively analysed to study the AMR among P. aeruginosa strains from GDPH. The strains were identified by VITEK 2 Compact and MALDI-TOF MS, MIC method or Kirby-Bauer method for antibiotic susceptibility testing. The results were interpreted according to the CLSI 2020 standard, and the data were analysed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 23.0 software. A total of 3036 P. aeruginosa strains were detected in the hospital from 2017 to 2021, and they were primarily distributed in the ICU (n = 1207, 39.8%). The most frequent specimens were respiratory tract samples (59.6%). The detection rate for P. aeruginosa in 5 years was highest in September, and the population distribution was primarily male(68.2%). For the trend in the drug resistance rate, the 5-year drug resistance rate of imipenem (22.4%), aztreonam (21.5%) and meropenem (19.3%) remained at high levels. The resistance rate of cefepime decreased from 9.4% to 4.8%, showing a decreasing trend year by year (p < 0.001). The antibiotics with low resistance rates were aminoglycoside antibiotics, which were gentamicin (4.4%), tobramycin (4.3%), and amikacin (1.4%), but amikacin showed an increasing trend year by year (p = 0.008). Our analysis indicated that the detection rate of clinically resistant P. aeruginosa strains showed an upwards trend, and the number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains increased year by year, which will lead to stronger pathogenicity and mortality. However, after the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, the growth trend in the number of MDR bacteria slowed, presumably due to the strict epidemic prevention and control measures in China. This observation suggests that we should reasonably use antibiotics and treatment programs in the prevention and control of P. aeruginosa infection. Additionally, health prevention and control after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic (such as wearing masks, washing hands with disinfectant, etc., which reduced the prevalence of drug resistance) led to a slowdown in the growth of the drug resistance rate of P. aeruginosa in hospitals, effectively reducing the occurrence and development of drug resistance, and saving patient's treatment costs and time.

Abstract
Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a grave nosocomial pathogen that persistently inhabits the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and causes various chronic infections. The bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) system is associated with latent and long-term infections, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully characterized. Methods We here investigated the diversity and function of five genomic type II TA systems widely distributed among P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. We also examined the distinct structural features of the toxin protein from different TA systems and characterized their contributions to persistence, invasion ability, and intracellular infection caused by P. aeruginosa. Results ParDE, PA1030/PA1029, and HigBA could modulate persister cell formation under treatment with specific antibiotics. Furthermore, cell-based transcriptional and invasion assays revealed that PA1030/PA1029 and HigBA TA systems were critical for intracellular survival. Discussion Our results highlight the prevalence and diverse roles of type II TA systems in P. aeruginosa and evaluate the possibility of using PA1030/PA1029 and HigBA TA pairs as targets for novel antibiotic treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the in vitro susceptibilities of carbapenem-non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CNSPA) and Acinetobacter baumannii (CNSAB) isolates to cefiderocol, novel β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) combinations, new tetracycline analogues, and other comparative antibiotics. METHODS In total, 405 non-duplicate bacteremic CNSPA (n = 150) and CNSAB (n = 255) isolates were collected from 16 hospitals in Taiwan between 2018 and 2020. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using the broth microdilution method, and susceptibilities were interpreted according to the relevant guidelines or in accordance with results of previous studies and non-species-related pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data. RESULTS Among the isolates tested, cefiderocol demonstrated potent in vitro activity against CNSPA (MIC50/90, 0.25/1 mg/L; 100% of isolates were inhibited at ≤4 mg/L) and CNSAB (MIC50/90, 0.5/2 mg/L; 94.9% of isolates were inhibited at ≤4 mg/L) isolates. More than 80% of CNSPA isolates were susceptible to cefiderocol, ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, and amikacin, based on breakpoints established by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Activities of new BLI combinations varied significantly. Tetracycline analogues, including tigecycline (MIC50/90, 1/2 mg/L; 92.5% of CNSAB isolates were inhibited at ≤2 mg/L) and eravacycline (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 mg/L; 99.6% of CNSAB isolates were inhibited at ≤2 mg/L) exhibited more potent in vitro activity against CNSAB than omadacycline (MIC50/90, 4/8 mg/L). CONCLUSIONS The spread of CNSPA and CNSAB poses a major challenge to global health. Significant resistance be developed even before a novel agent becomes commercially available. The development of on-site antimicrobial susceptibility tests for these novel agents is of great clinical importance.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the main conditional pathogen causing nosocomial infection, is a gram-negative bacterium with the largest genome among the known bacteria. The main reasons why Pseudomonas aeruginosa is prone to drug-resistant strains in clinic are: the drug-resistant genes in its genome and the drug resistance easily induced by single antibiotic treatment. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics, the functions of various small RNAs (sRNA) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are being revealed. Different sRNAs regulate gene expression by binding to protein or mRNA to play an important role in the complex regulatory network. In this article, first, the importance and biological functions of different sRNAs in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are explored, and then the evidence and possibilities that sRNAs served as drug therapeutic targets are discussed, which may introduce new directions to develop novel disease treatment strategies.

Xiao C, Zhu Y, Yang Z, Shi D, Ni Y, Hua L, Li J. Prevalence and Molecular Characteristics of Polymyxin-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Chinese Tertiary Teaching Hospital. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11060799. [PMID: 35740205 PMCID: PMC9219935 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11060799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Polymyxin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major threat to public health globally. We investigated the prevalence of polymyxin-resistant P. aeruginosa in a Chinese teaching hospital and determined the genetic and drug-resistant phenotypes of the resistant isolates. P. aeruginosa isolates identified by MALDI-TOF MS were collected across a 3-month period in Ruijin Hospital. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by a Vitek-2 Compact system with broth dilution used to determine polymyxin B (PMB) susceptibility. Polymyxin-resistant isolates were further characterized by molecular typing using PCR, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) and whole-genome sequencing. Phylogenetic relationships were analyzed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) from the whole-genome sequencing. Of 362 P. aeruginosa isolates collected, 8 (2.2%) isolates from separate patients across six wards were polymyxin-resistant (MIC range, PMB 4–16 μg/mL and colistin 4–≥16 μg/mL). Four patients received PMB treatments (intravenous, aerosolized and/or topical) and all patients survived to discharge. All polymyxin-resistant isolates were genetically related and were assigned to five different clades (Isolate 150 and Isolate 211 being the same ST823 type). Genetic variations V51I, Y345H, G68S and R155H in pmrB and L71R in pmrA were identified, which might confer polymyxin resistance in these isolates. Six of the polymyxin-resistant isolates showed reduced susceptibility to imipenem and meropenem (MIC range ≥ 16 μg/mL), while two of the eight isolates were resistant to ceftazidime. We revealed a low prevalence of polymyxin-resistant P. aeruginosa in a Chinese teaching hospital with most polymyxin-resistant isolates being multidrug-resistant. Therefore, effective infection control measures are urgently needed to prevent further spread of resistance to the last-line polymyxins.

[PMID: 35634581 PMCID: PMC9139338 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s365139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of four important drug-resistance phenotypes: difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR), fluoroquinolone resistance (FQR), carbapenem resistance (CR), and extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance (ECR). Methods DTR was defined as insensitivity to all the β-lactams and fluoroquinolones tested. We retrospectively analyzed the distribution characteristics of specific drug-resistant phenotypes of the main Gram-negative bacteria causing bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Tongji Hospital (Wuhan, China) between 2013 and 2021: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Results FQR was the main antimicrobial resistance phenotype of E. coli, accounting for 59.45% (1117/1879, 95% confidence interval, 57.21%-61.65%); the detection rates for CR and DTR were low, accounting for 1.86% (35/1879, 1.34%-2.58%), and 1.81% (34/1879, 1.30%-2.52%), respectively. However, the detection rates for CR and DTR in K. pneumoniae were 38.83% (497/1280, 36.20%-41.53%) and 35.94% (460/1280, 33.35%-38.60%), respectively. In P. aeruginosa, the detection rates of the four drug-resistant phenotypes (DTR, CR, FQR, and ECR) were all < 30%, but conversely, for A. baumannii, the detection rates were all > 80%. The changes in the data from 2013 to 2021 showed upward trends (z > 0) for CR-E. coli, DTR-E. coli, FQR-E. coli, CR-K. pneumoniae, DTR-K. pneumoniae, FQR-K. pneumoniae, and ECR-K. pneumoniae, but downward trends (z < 0) for ECR-E. coli, CR-A. baumannii, DTR-A. baumannii, FQR-A. baumannii, ECR-A. baumannii, CR-P. aeruginosa, DTR-P. aeruginosa, FQR-P. aeruginosa, and ECR-P. aeruginosa. Conclusion DTR warrants further attention, especially in in BSI-associated K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii, in which the detection rates were very high. Between 2013 and 2021 in this region, DTR-E. coli and CR-E. coli showed obvious upward trends, whereas DTR-P. aeruginosa and ECR-P. aeruginosa showed obvious downward trends.

Abstract
Background: In recent years, the widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in increased rates of antibiotic resistance (ABR). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has continuously increased resistance to commonly used clinical antimicrobial drugs, bringing great difficulties to clinical treatment. Objectives: This retrospective study investigated the epidemiological characteristics of P. aeruginosa and changes in ABR over a 5-year period at a hospital in Shandong Province, China. Methods: Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were collected from 2015 to 2019. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing employed the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and the broth microdilution method (VITEK-2 compact system), according to the guidelines by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Data were analyzed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS V. 21.0 software. Results: A total of 3,324 P. aeruginosa strains were isolated from clinical specimens (604, 631, 700, 595, and 794 strains from 2015 to 2019, respectively). The highest P. aeruginosa detection rates were from respiratory tract specimens (72.54%). The highest resistance was seen in aztreonam, followed by ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and imipenem. The isolation rates for carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) and multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA) ranged from 15.21 - 18.38% and 17.31 - 27.31%, respectively. Also, the isolation rates for extensively drug-resistant P. aeruginosa (XDRPA) ranged from 1.86 - 3.52%. Conclusions: The main sources of the P. aeruginosa isolates were older adult patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The isolation rates for CRPA, MDRPA, and XDRPA strains decreased over the 5-year period. However, the drug resistance situation remains a serious concern. Hence, continued infection control and antimicrobial stewardship and basic and clinical research on bacterial resistance are essential.

Abstract
In the present study, a DNAzyme was screened in vitro through the use of a DNA library and crude extracellular mixture (CEM) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Following eight rounds of selection, a DNAzyme termed PAE-1 was obtained, which displayed high rates of cleavage with strong specificity. A fluorescent biosensor was designed for the detection of P. aeruginosa in combination with the DNAzyme. A detection limit as low as 1.2 cfu/ml was observed. Using proteases and filtration, it was determined that the target was a protein with a molecular weight of 10 kDa-50 kDa. The DNAzyme was combined with a polystyrene board to construct a simple indicator plate sensor which produced a color that identified the target within 10 min. The results were reliable when tap water and food samples were tested. The present study provides a novel experimental strategy for the development of sensors based on a DNAzyme to rapidly detect P. aeruginosa in the field.
