Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli is a leading cause of global mortality. Transfer of plasmids carrying genes encoding beta-lactamases, carbapenamases, and colistin resistance between lineages is driving the rising rates of hard-to-treat nosocomial and community infections. Multidrug resistance (MDR) plasmid acquisition commonly causes transcriptional disruption, and while a number of studies have shown strain-specific fitness and transcriptional effects of an MDR plasmid across diverse bacterial lineages, fewer studies have compared the impacts of different MDR plasmids in a common bacterial host. As such, our ability to predict which MDR plasmids are the most likely to be maintained and spread in bacterial populations is limited. Here, we introduced eight diverse MDR plasmids encoding resistances against a range of clinically important antibiotics into E. coli K-12 MG1655 and measured their fitness costs and transcriptional impacts. The scale of the transcriptional responses varied substantially between plasmids, ranging from >650 to <20 chromosomal genes being differentially expressed. However, the scale of regulatory disruption did not correlate significantly with the magnitude of the plasmid fitness cost, which also varied between plasmids. The identities of differentially expressed genes differed between transconjugants, although the expression of certain metabolic genes and functions were convergently affected by multiple plasmids, including the downregulation of genes involved in L-methionine transport and metabolism. Our data show the complexity of the interaction between host genetic background and plasmid genetic background in determining the impact of MDR plasmid acquisition on E. coli. IMPORTANCE The increase in infections that are resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics, including those isolates that carry carbapenamases, beta-lactamases, and colistin resistance genes, is of global concern. Many of these resistances are spread by conjugative plasmids. Understanding more about how an isolate responds to an incoming plasmid that encodes antibiotic resistance will provide information that could be used to predict the emergence of MDR lineages. Here, the identification of metabolic networks as being particularly sensitive to incoming plasmids suggests the possible targets for reducing plasmid transfer.

Abstract
Introduction The tigecycline-resistant Enterobacterales have emerged as a great public concern, and the mobile tet(X) variants and tmexCD-toprJ efflux pump are mainly responsible for the spread of tigecycline resistance. Hospital sewage is considered as an important reservoir of antimicrobial resistance, while tigecycline resistance in this niche is under-researched. Methods In this study, five Escherichia coli and six Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were selected from a collection of tigecycline-resistant Enterobacterales for further investigation by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, conjugation, whole-genome sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis. Results All five E. coli strains harbored tet(X4), which was located on different plasmids, including a novel IncC/IncFIA(HI1)/IncHI1A/IncHI1B(R27) hybrid structure. In addition, tet(X4)-bearing plasmids were able to transfer by conjugation and be stabilized in the recipient in the absence of antibiotics. tmexCD1-toprJ1 was identified in two K. pneumoniae (LZSFT39 and LZSRT3) and it was carried by a novel multidrug-resistance transposon, designated Tn7368, on a novel IncR/IncU hybrid plasmid. In addition, we found that two K. pneumoniae (LZSFZT3 and LZSRT3) showed overexpression of efflux genes acrB and oqxB, respectively, which was most likely to be caused by mutations in ramR and oqxR. Discussion In conclusion, the findings in this study expand our knowledge of the genetic elements that carry tigecycline resistance genes, which establishes a baseline for investigating the structure diversity and evolutionary trajectories of human, animal, and environmental tigecycline resistomes.

Abstract
Dissemination of blaNDM, which is carried on the IncX3 plasmid, among Enterobacterales has been reported worldwide. In particular, blaNDM-5-carrying IncX3 plasmids can spread among several hosts, facilitating their dissemination. Other variants, such as blaNDM-17-, blaNDM-19-, blaNDM-20-, blaNDM-21-, and blaNDM-33-carrying IncX3 plasmids, have also been reported. Here, we characterized, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), a blaNDM-16b-carrying IncX3 plasmid harbored by Escherichia coli strain TA8571, which was isolated from a urine specimen of a hospital inpatient in Tokyo, Japan. The blaNDM-16b differed in sequence from blaNDM-5 (C > T at site 698, resulting in an Ala233Val substitution). This blaNDM-16b-carrying IncX3 plasmid (pTMTA8571-1) is 46,161 bp in length and transferred via conjugation. Transconjugants showed high resistance to β-lactam antimicrobials (except for aztreonam). Because pTMTA8571-1, which carries the Tn125-related region containing blaNDM and conjugative transfer genes, was similar to the previously reported IncX3 plasmids, we performed phylogenetic analysis based on the sequence of 34 shared genes in 142 blaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids (22,846/46,923 bp). Comparative analysis of the shared genes revealed short branches on the phylogenetic tree (average of 1.08 nucleotide substitutions per shared genes), but each blaNDM variant was divided into separate groups, and the structure of the tree correlated with the flowchart of blaNDM nucleotide substitutions. The blaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids may thereby have evolved from the same ancestral plasmid with subsequent mutation of the blaNDM. Therefore, pTMTA8571-1 likely emerged from a blaNDM-5-carrying IncX3 plasmid. This study suggested that the spread of blaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids may be a hotbed for the emergence of novel variants of blaNDM. IMPORTANCEblaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids have been reported worldwide. Harbored blaNDM variants were mainly blaNDM-5, but there were also rare variants like blaNDM-17, blaNDM-19, blaNDM-20, blaNDM-21, and blaNDM-33, including blaNDM-16b detected in this study. For these plasmids, previous reports analyzed whole genomes or parts of sequences among a small number of samples, whereas, in this study, we performed an analysis of 142 blaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids detected around the world. The results showed that regardless of the blaNDM variants, blaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids harbored highly similar shared genes. Because these plasmids already spread worldwide may be a hotbed for the emergence of rare or novel variants of blaNDM, increased attention should be paid to blaNDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids in the future.

Abstract
Bacterial plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements that often carry antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and genes encoding increased virulence and can be transmissible among bacteria by conjugation. One key group of plasmids is the incompatibility group I1 (IncI1) plasmids, which have been isolated from multiple Enterobacteriaceae of food animal origin and clinically ill human patients. The IncI group of plasmids were initially characterized due to their sensitivity to the filamentous bacteriophage If1. Two prototypical IncI1 plasmids, R64 and pColIb-P9, have been extensively studied, and the plasmids consist of unique regions associated with plasmid replication, plasmid stability/maintenance, transfer machinery apparatus, single-stranded DNA transfer, and antimicrobial resistance. IncI1 plasmids are somewhat unique in that they encode two types of sex pili, a thick, rigid pilus necessary for mating and a thin, flexible pilus that helps stabilize bacteria for plasmid transfer in liquid environments. A key public health concern with IncI1 plasmids is their ability to carry antimicrobial resistance genes, including those associated with critically important antimicrobials used to treat severe cases of enteric infections, including the third-generation cephalosporins. Because of the potential importance of these plasmids, this review focuses on the distribution of the plasmids, their phenotypic characteristics associated with antimicrobial resistance and virulence, and their replication, maintenance, and transfer.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are perceived as a serious public-health threat world-wide. Despite sporadic reports, no systemic study has been carried out on CRE in companion animals in Indian subcontinent. In total, 237 canine specimens collected from five veterinary polyclinics in and around Kolkata were analyzed for isolation, antimicrobial resistance profiling and molecular characterization of carbapenem-resistant (CR) E. coli. Of the 29 CR isolates, 19 were identified as metallo-β-lactamase producers (MP-CRE) and 10 as metallo-β-lactamase non-producers (MNP-CRE). Eleven of them were extended spectrum β-lactamase and/or AmpC type β-lactamase producers and harboured fluoroquinolone-, tetracycline-, sulfonamide- and aminoglycoside-resistant genes. Beside uropathogenic virulence determinants, they carried the adhesion factors mediating biofilm production which was remarkably higher in 6 MP-CRE and one MNP-CRE isolates. Although the CRE were of diverse origin including the healthy and the diseased dogs, these were more frequently isolated from canine pyometra. The MP-CRE harboured plasmids of IncF and IncA/C types. Phylo-type B1 was observed in 38% of the CR isolates, followed by A0 in 31% and rest were attributed to A1 and D1. The Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR (ERIC-PCR) revealed that these isolates were genetically diverse and constituted of a heterogenous population. Detection of CRE in pet dogs despite the fact that carbapenems are not used in animals in India emphasizes the need for active surveillance to identify the transmission and dynamics of such pathogens in companion animals.

Struggle To Survive: the Choir of Target Alteration, Hydrolyzing Enzyme, and Plasmid Expression as a Novel Aztreonam-Avibactam Resistance Mechanism. mSystems 2020; 5:5/6/e00821-20.

Abstract
Aztreonam-avibactam is a promising antimicrobial combination against multidrug-resistant organisms, such as carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales Resistance to aztreonam-avibactam has been found, but the resistance mechanism remains poorly studied. We recovered three Escherichia coli isolates of an almost identical genome but exhibiting varied aztreonam-avibactam resistance. The isolates carried a cephalosporinase gene, bla CMY-42, on IncIγ plasmids with a single-nucleotide variation in an antisense RNA-encoding gene, inc, of the replicon. The isolates also had four extra amino acids (YRIK) in penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) due to a duplication of a 12-nucleotide (TATCGAATTAAC) stretch in pbp3 By cloning and plasmid-curing experiments, we found that elevated CMY-42 cephalosporinase production or amino acid insertions in PBP3 alone mediated slightly reduced susceptibility to aztreonam-avibactam, but their combination conferred aztreonam-avibactam resistance. We show that the elevated CMY-42 production results from increased plasmid copy numbers due to mutations in inc We also verified the findings using in vitro mutation assays, in which aztreonam-avibactam-resistant mutants also had mutations in inc and elevated CMY-42 production compared with the parental strain. This choir of target modification, hydrolyzing enzyme, and plasmid expression represents a novel, coordinated, complex antimicrobial resistance mechanism and also reflects the struggle of bacteria to survive under selection pressure imposed by antimicrobial agents.IMPORTANCE Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a serious global challenge with limited therapeutic options. Aztreonam-avibactam is a promising antimicrobial combination with activity against CPE producing serine-based carbapenemases and metallo-β-lactamases and has the potential to be a major option for combatting CPE. Aztreonam-avibactam resistance has been found, but resistance mechanisms remain largely unknown. Understanding resistance mechanisms is essential for optimizing treatment and developing alternative therapies. Here, we found that either penicillin-binding protein 3 modification or the elevated expression of cephalosporinase CMY-42 due to increased plasmid copy numbers does not confer resistance to aztreonam-avibactam, but their combination does. We demonstrate that increased plasmid copy numbers result from mutations in antisense RNA-encoding inc of the IncIγ replicon. The findings reveal that antimicrobial resistance may be due to concerted combinatorial effects of target alteration, hydrolyzing enzyme, and plasmid expression and also highlight that resistance to any antimicrobial combination will inevitably emerge.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to detect CMY-type beta-lactamases in E. coli isolates obtained from paediatric patients.
Methods In total, 404 infection-causing E. coli isolates resistant to third and fourth generation cephalosporins (3GC, 4GC) were collected from paediatric patients over a 2 years period. The identification and susceptibility profiles were determined with an automated microbiology system. Typing of blaCMY and other beta-lactamase genes (blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M, blaVIM, blaIMP, blaKPC, blaNDM, blaOXA and blaGES) was realized by PCR and sequencing. Phenotypic detection of AmpC-type enzymes was performed using boronic acid (20 mg/mL) and cloxacillin (20 mg/mL) as inhibitors, and the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases was determined with the double-disk diffusion test with cefotaxime (CTX) and ceftazidime (CAZ) discs alone and in combination with clavulanic acid. The CarbaNP test and modified carbapenem inhibition method (mCIM) were used for isolates with decreased susceptibility to carbapenems. The clonal origin of the isolates was established by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), phylotyping method and multilocus sequence typing.
Results CMY-type beta-lactamases were detected in 18 isolates (4.5%). The allelic variants found were CMY-2 (n = 14) and CMY-42 (n = 4). Of the E. coli strains with CMY, the AmpC phenotypic production test was positive in 11 isolates with cloxacillin and in 15 with boronic acid. ESBL production was detected in 13 isolates. Coexistence with other beta-lactamases was observed such as CTX-M-15 ESBL and original spectrum beta-lactamases TEM-1 and TEM-190. In one isolate, the CarbaNP test was negative, the mCIM was positive, and OXA-48 carbapenemase was detected. Phylogroup A was the most frequent (n = 9) followed by B2, E and F (n = 2, respectively), and through PFGE, no clonal relationship was observed. Eleven different sequence types (ST) were found, with ST10 high-risk clone being the most frequent (n = 4). Seventy-two percent of the isolates were from health care-associated infections; the mortality rate was 11.1%.
Conclusions This is the first report in Mexico of E. coli producing CMY isolated from paediatric patients, demonstrating a frequency of 4.5%. In addition, this is the first finding of E. coli ST10 with CMY-2 and OXA-48.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae pose a serious threat to public health worldwide, and the role of companion animals as a reservoir is still unclear. Aims This 4-month prospective observational study evaluated carriage of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae at admission and after hospitalisation in a large referral hospital for companion animals in Switzerland. Methods Rectal swabs of dogs and cats expected to be hospitalised for at least 48 h were taken from May to August 2018 and analysed for the presence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae using selective agar plates. Resistant isolates were further characterised analysing whole genome sequences for resistance gene and plasmid identification, and ad hoc core genome multilocus sequence typing. Results This study revealed nosocomial acquisition of Escherichia coli harbouring the carbapenemase gene blaOXA-181, the pAmpC cephalosporinase gene blaCMY-42 as well as quinolone resistance associated with qnrS1 and mutations in the topoisomerases II (GyrA) and IV (ParC). The blaOXA-181 and qnrS1 genes were identified on a 51 kb IncX3 plasmid and blaCMY-42 on a 47 kb IncI1 plasmid. All isolates belonged to sequence type ST410 and were genetically highly related. This E. coli clone was detected in 17 of 100 dogs and four of 34 cats after hospitalisation (21.6%), only one of the tested animals having tested positive at admission (0.75%). Two positive animals were still carriers 4 months after hospital discharge, but were negative after 6 months. Conclusions Companion animals may acquire carbapenemase-producing E. coli during hospitalisation, posing the risk of further dissemination to the animal and human population and to the environment.

Abstract
Introduction. Little is known about the epidemiology of Enterobacter cloacae strains producing a carbapenemase or metallo-beta-lactamase in Vietnamese hospitals.Aim. This study analysed E. cloacae strains resistant to imipenem or meropenem that had been isolated from patients admitted to one of the largest hospitals in Vietnam in 2014-2017.Methodology. Eighteen Vietnamese (VN) strains were subjected to whole-genome sequencing and their sequences compared with those of 17 E. cloacae strains carrying a carbapenemase or metallo-beta-lactamase in the database (db strains).Results. Although the distribution of virulence factors did not differ significantly between VN and db strains, all 18 VN isolates harboured blaNDM-1, phylogenetic analysis revealed a high clonality of the VN strains. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis suggested that the VN strains speciated relatively recently.Conclusions. Several prevalent clones of carbapenem-resistant E. cloacae have circulated within Vietnamese hospitals. Adequate measures are needed to prevent their further spread.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nontyphoid Salmonella and Shigella can cause gastroenteritis in humans. Ceftriaxone (CRO) has been used to treat their infection, however, development of CRO resistance are often associated with plasmid-mediated blaCMY. Here, we investigated the presence of plasmid-mediated ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE and the role of these genes in regulation of CRO susceptibility in different hosts. METHODS 194 strains of Salmonella serovars and Shigella were tested for CRO susceptibility. Non-susceptibility strains were examined for plasmid-mediated ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE by PCR amplification, Southern blot, and DNA sequencing. The plasmid profiles were determined by HindIII-digested restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Four recombinant plasmids with different genes from ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE were constructed and then were transferred into Escherichia coli and different Salmonella serovars to evaluate the CRO susceptibility. RESULTS Among 20 CRO-nonsusceptible isolates of Salmonella Choleraesuis (5), S. Typhimurium (4), S. Mons (1), S. Stanley (2) and Shigella sonnei (8) with plasmid-mediated blaCMY-2, 19 isolates carried the ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE and only one isolate with tnpA-blaCMY-2. Transformation of these plasmids into E. coli pir116 produced multidrug resistance. Furthermore, PCR-RFLP analysis determined 5 different plasmid profiles and identical RFLP pattern between S. Typhimurium and S. sonnei. Transformation of the recombinant plasmids into E. coli and different Salmonella serovars resulted in phenotypes ranging from susceptible to resistant (especially inducible resistance) to CRO that were dependent on the genes, and host. CONCLUSION The CRO susceptibility associated with the ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE element is regulated positively by ISEcp-1 tnpA and SugE and negatively regulated by Blc and unknown species-dependent host factor(s).

First Indian report on genome-wide comparison of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli from blood stream infections. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0220428. [PMID: 32101543 PMCID: PMC7043739 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0220428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2019] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli with extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is becoming endemic in health care settings around the world. Baseline data on virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of specific lineages of E. coli circulating in developing countries like India is currently lacking. Methods Whole-genome sequencing was performed for 60 MDR E. coli isolates. The analysis was performed at single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) level resolution to identify the presence of their virulence and AMR genes. Results Genome comparison revealed the presence of ST-131 global MDR and ST410 as emerging-MDR clades of E. coli in India. AMR gene profile for cephalosporin and carbapenem resistance differed between the clades. Genotypes blaCTX-M-15 and blaNDM-5 were common among cephalosporinases and carbapenemases, respectively. For aminoglycoside resistance, rmtB was positive for 31.7% of the isolates, of which 95% were co-harboring carbapenemases. In addition, the FimH types and virulence gene profile positively correlated with the SNP based phylogeny, and also revealed the evolution of MDR clones among the study population with temporal accumulation of SNPs. The predominant clone was ST167 (blaNDM lineage) followed by ST405 (global clone ST131 equivalent) and ST410 (fast spreading high risk clone). Conclusions This is the first report on the whole genome analysis of MDR E. coli lineages circulating in India. Data from this study will provide public health agencies with baseline information on AMR and virulent genes in pathogenic E. coli in the region.

Abstract
Objectives The increase in infections as a result of MDR strains of Escherichia coli is a global health crisis. The emergence of globally disseminated lineages of E. coli carrying ESBL genes has been well characterized. An increase in strains producing carbapenemase enzymes and mobile colistin resistance is now being reported, but to date there is little genomic characterization of such strains. Methods Routine screening of patients within an ICU of West China Hospital identified a number of E. coli carrying the blaNDM-5 carbapenemase gene, found to be two distinct clones, E. coli ST167 and ST617. Results Interrogation of publicly available data shows isolation of ESBL and carbapenem-resistant strains of both lineages from clinical cases across the world. Further analysis of a large collection of publicly available genomes shows that ST167 and ST617 have emerged in distinct patterns from the ST10 clonal complex of E. coli, but share evolutionary events involving switches in LPS genetics, intergenic regions and anaerobic metabolism loci. Conclusions The identification of these lineages of E. coli and their shared genetic traits suggest there may be evolutionary events that underpin the emergence of carbapenem resistance plasmid carriage in E. coli.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have been listed by the WHO as high-priority pathogens owing to their high association with mortalities and morbidities. Resistance to multiple β-lactams complicates effective clinical management of CRE infections. Using plasmid typing methods, a wide distribution of plasmid replicon groups has been reported in CREs around the world, including IncF, N, X, A/C, L/M, R, P, H, I, and W. We performed a literature search for English research papers, published between 2013 and 2018, reporting on plasmid-mediated carbapenem resistance. A rise in both carbapenemase types and associated plasmid replicon groups was seen, with China, Canada, and the United States recording a higher increase than other countries. blaKPC was the most prevalent, except in Angola and the Czech Republic, where OXA-181 (n = 50, 88%) and OXA-48-like (n = 24, 44%) carbapenemases were most prevalent, respectively; blaKPC-2/3 accounted for 70% (n = 956) of all reported carbapenemases. IncF plasmids were found to be responsible for disseminating different antibiotic resistance genes worldwide, accounting for almost 40% (n = 254) of plasmid-borne carbapenemases. blaCTX-M , blaTEM , blaSHV , blaOXA-1/9 , qnr, and aac-(6')-lb were mostly detected concurrently with carbapenemases. Most reported plasmids were conjugative but not present in multiple countries or species, suggesting limited interspecies and interboundary transmission of a common plasmid. A major limitation to effective characterization of plasmid evolution was the use of PCR-based instead of whole-plasmid sequencing-based plasmid typing.

Abstract
The spread of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) worldwide is a serious problem. This retrospective, matched case–control, parallel study in a tertiary teaching hospital analyzed the microbiological and clinical characteristics of CPKP infection, focusing on the risk factors for carbapenem resistance and patient mortality. The hospital department with the highest incidence of CPKP infections was the intensive care unit. All CPKP strains examined were positive for blakpc-2, and 84.8% of CPKP were ST11. Hypervirulent phenotype was identified in 22.7% of the patients with CPKP, with these strains displaying a high incidence of positivity for entB, ybtS, and iutA. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis demonstrated that Pitt bacteremia score >4, prior stomach tube, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and previous carbapenem exposure were associated with CPKP infection. Higher albumin concentration and use of cephalosporins after diagnosis were strong prognostic factors for crude 28-day mortality. Further, high APACHE II score, CRRT, use of carbapenems after diagnosis, and bacteremia were risk factors for crude in-hospital mortality. CPKP isolates showed clonal spread and were resistant to most antibiotics, resulting in higher financial burden. Critical illness was associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing bacteria have been identified at a worrying rate in Brazil since 2013. Owing to the need to understand the extent of their spread, this study reports the dissemination of blaNDM in different species of Gram-negative bacilli in different regions and states of Brazil. A total of 81 isolates from nine states were studied, including 11 species. All isolates carried blaNDM-1 variant and were considered multidrug resistant. Colistin and amikacin were the agents with higher activity compared with the other drugs tested. The findings indicate that the NDM-1 enzyme is already widespread in the country.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Escherichia coli is one of the major causative agents of nosocomial infections. Here we report the first draft genome sequence of an E. coli strain (no. 158) isolated in Poland carrying blaCTX-M-15, blaCMY-42, blaOXA-1, aac(3)-IIa and aac(6')-Ib-cr genes together with mutations in the gyrA and parC genes. METHODS Total DNA was sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq 500 platform. The draft genome of E. coli strain 158 was assembled using SPAdes 3.9 assembler. Contigs were annotated using the Prokka v.1.12 algorithm. Species confirmation, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), serotyping, molecular virulence and resistance traits, and plasmid replicons were analysed using appropriate bioinformatics tools available at the Centre for Genomic Epidemiology website. Additional in silico analyses were also conducted. RESULT The genome size was estimated at 4883487bp, with 4601 predicted coding sequences. The presence of blaCTX-M-15, blaCMY-42, blaOXA-1, aac(3)-IIa and aac(6')-Ib-cr genes was detected in addition to other antimicrobial resistance genes as well as mutations in the gyrA (Ser83Leu and Asp87Asn) and parC (Ser80Ile) genes. The investigated strain E. coli 158 belongs to ST410. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first draft genome of an E. coli strain co-harbouring blaCTX-M-15, blaCMY-42, blaOXA-1, aac(3)-IIa and aac(6')-Ib-cr genes with mutations in gyrA and parC reported in Poland. The reported genome sequence contains valuable information on genetic features of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of E. coli in Poland.

Abstract
The blaSHV-12 β-lactamase gene is one of the most prevalent genes conferring resistance to extended-spectrum β-lactams in Enterobacteriaceae disseminating within and between reservoirs, mostly via plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfer. Yet, studies regarding the biology of plasmids encoding blaSHV-12 are very limited. In this study, we revealed the emergence of IncX3 plasmids alongside IncI1α/γ in blaSHV-12 in animal-related Escherichia coli isolates. Four representative blaSHV-12-encoding IncX3 plasmids were selected for genome sequencing and further genetic and functional characterization. We report here the first complete sequences of IncX3 plasmids of animal origin and show that IncX3 plasmids exhibit remarkable synteny in their backbone, while the major differences lie in their blaSHV-12-flanking region. Our findings indicate that plasmids of this subgroup are conjugative and highly stable, while they exert no fitness cost on their bacterial host. These favourable features might have contributed to the emergence of IncX3 amongst SHV-12-producing E. coli in the Netherlands, highlighting the epidemic potential of these plasmids.

Abstract
The emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is a critical concern worldwide. In Italy, CPE isolates are very frequent, with the KPC enzyme types strongly predominant whereas the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) enzymes are extremely rare. Here we report the first detection of NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli sequence type 167 (ST167) isolates from two patients with urinary tract infection (Ec001 and Ec002 from urines), including one with colonisation (Ec003 from faeces) admitted to the same hospital 2 months apart in 2017. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by broth microdilution. The carbapenemase type was identified both by phenotypic and genotypic methods. Isolate genotypes were investigated by phylogenetic typing, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to obtain complete sequences of plasmids. The three E. coli isolates carried the blaNDM-5 gene, shared the same resistance phenotype and belonged to ST167. By PFGE, isolates showed the same profile, suggesting that they were the same strain. NGS revealed that the blaNDM-5 gene was located on a 99-kb multireplicon plasmid (designed pNDM-5-IT) with a peculiar scaffold constituted by four replicons of the IncF type (FIA, FIB and two copies of the FII replicon). pNDM-5-IT plasmid harboured multiple resistance and virulence determinants, including the arginine deaminase (ADI) cluster never found associated with plasmids before. Since NDM-5-producing E. coli ST167 has been regarded as a successful epidemic clone in China, the emergence of such a clone carrying a plasmid associated both with multiresistance and virulence could be a public-health threat.

Plasmid-Mediated Novel blaNDM-17 Gene Encoding a Carbapenemase with Enhanced Activity in a Sequence Type 48 Escherichia coli Strain. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:AAC.02233-16.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have spread worldwide, leaving very few treatment options available. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) is the main carbapenemase mediating CRE resistance and is of increasing concern. NDM-positive Enterobacteriaceae of human origin are frequently identified; however, the emergence of NDM, and particularly novel variants, in bacteria of food animal origin has never been reported. Here, we characterize a novel NDM variant (assigned NDM-17) identified in a β-lactam-resistant sequence type 48 (ST48) Escherichia coli strain that was isolated from a chicken in China. Compared to NDM-1, NDM-17 had three amino acid substitutions (V88L, M154L, and E170K) that confer significantly enhanced carbapenemase activity. Compared to NDM-5, NDM-17 had only one amino acid substitution (E170K) and slightly increased isolate resistance to carbapenem, as indicated by increased MIC values. The gene encoding NDM-17 (blaNDM-17) was located on an IncX3 plasmid, which was readily transferrable to recipient E. coli strain J53 by conjugation, suggesting the possibility of the rapid dissemination of blaNDM-17 Enzyme kinetics showed that NDM-17 could hydrolyze all β-lactams tested, except for aztreonam, and had a significantly higher affinity for all β-lactams tested than did NDM-5. The emergence of this novel NDM variant could pose a threat to public health because of its transferability and enhanced carbapenemase activity.

Abstract
Background The emergence and spread of Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) is becoming a serious problem in Chinese hospitals, however, the data on this is scarce. Therefore, we investigate the risk factors for healthcare-associated CREC infection and study the incidence, antibiotic resistance and medical costs of CREC infections in our hospital. Methods We conducted a retrospective, matched case–control–control, parallel study in a tertiary teaching hospital. Patients admitted between January 2012 and December 2015 were included in this study. For patients with healthcare-associated CREC infection, two matched subject groups were created; one group with healthcare-associated CSEC infection and the other group without infection. Results Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis demonstrated that prior hospital stay (<6 months) (OR:3.96; 95%CI:1.26–12.42), tracheostomy (OR:2.24; 95%CI: 1.14–4.38), central venous catheter insertion (OR: 8.15; 95%CI: 2.31–28.72), carbapenem exposure (OR: 12.02; 95%CI: 1.52–95.4), urinary system disease (OR: 16.69; 95%CI: 3.01–89.76), low hemoglobin (OR: 2.83; 95%CI: 1.46–5.50), and high blood glucose are associated (OR: 7.01; 95%CI: 1.89–26.02) with CREC infection. Total costs (p = 0.00), medical examination costs (p = 0.00), medical test costs (p = 0.00), total drug costs (p = 0.00) and ant-infective drug costs (p = 0.00) for the CREC group were significantly higher than those for the no infection group. Medical examination costs (p = 0.03), total drug costs (p = 0.03), and anti-infective drug costs (p = 0.01) for the CREC group were significantly higher than for the CSEC group. Mortality in CREC group was significantly higher than the CSEC group (p = 0.01) and no infection group (p = 0.01). Conclusion Many factors were discovered for acquisition of healthcare-associated CREC infection. CREC isolates were resistant to most antibiotics, and had some association with high financial burden and increased mortality.

First Report of Complete Sequence of a blaNDM-13-Harboring Plasmid from an Escherichia coli ST5138 Clinical Isolate. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2016; 6:130. [PMID: 27790412 PMCID: PMC5061728 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2016.00130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2016] [Accepted: 09/28/2016] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Since the first report of blaNDM-1, 16 blaNDM variants have been identified among Gram-negative bacteria worldwide. Recently, a novel blaNDM variant, blaNDM-13, was identified in the chromosome of an ST101 Escherichia coli isolate from Nepal. Here we first reported plasmid-mediated blaNDM-13 in a carbapenem-resistant E. coli ST5138 clinical isolate associated with hospital-acquired urinary tract infection from China. blaNDM-13 and blaSHV-12 coexisted on the a ~54 Kb self-transferable plasmid. Compared with NDM-1, NDM-13, NDM-3, and NDM-4 had two amino acid substitutions (D95N and M154L), one amino acid substitution (D95N) and one amino acid substitutions (M154L), respectively. Complete plasmid sequencing showed that blaNDM-13-harboring plasmid (pNDM13-DC33) was highly similar to the blaNDM-1-harboring IncX3 plasmid pNDM-HN380, a common blaNDM-harboring vector circulating in China. In accordance with the structure of pNDM-HN380, pNDM13-DC33 consists of a 33-kb backbone encoding plasmid replication (repB), stability partitioning, and transfer (tra, trb, and pil) functions, and a 21-kb antimicrobial resistance region with high GC content between umuD and mpr genes. In conclusion, the present study is the first report of a plasmid-encoded blaNDM-13 and the complete sequence of a blaNDM-13-harboring plasmid (pNDM13-DC33). blaNDM-13 maybe originate from blaNDM-1 located on a pNDM-HN380-like plasmid by sequential mutations.

Abstract
Carbapenems, our one-time silver bullet for multidrug resistant bacterial infections, are now threatened by widespread dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Successful expansion of Enterobacteriaceae clonal groups and frequent horizontal gene transfer of carbapenemase expressing plasmids are causing increasing carbapenem resistance. Recent advances in genetic and phenotypic detection facilitate global surveillance of CRE diversity and prevalence. In particular, whole genome sequencing enabled efficient tracking, annotation, and study of genetic elements colocalized with carbapenemase genes on chromosomes and on plasmids. Improved characterization helps detail the co-occurrence of other antibiotic resistance genes in CRE isolates and helps identify pan-drug resistance mechanisms. The novel β-lactamase inhibitor, avibactam, combined with ceftazidime or aztreonam, is a promising CRE treatment compared to current colistin or tigecycline regimens. To halt increasing CRE-associated morbidity and mortality, we must continue quality, cooperative monitoring and urgently investigate novel treatments.

Abstract
β-lactamases are the primary cause of resistance to β-lactams among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. SHV enzymes have emerged in Enterobacteriaceae causing infections in health care in the last decades of the Twentieth century, and they are now observed in isolates in different epidemiological settings both in human, animal and the environment. Likely originated from a chromosomal penicillinase of Klebsiella pneumoniae, SHV β-lactamases currently encompass a large number of allelic variants including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), non-ESBL and several not classified variants. SHV enzymes have evolved from a narrow- to an extended-spectrum of hydrolyzing activity, including monobactams and carbapenems, as a result of amino acid changes that altered the configuration around the active site of the β -lactamases. SHV-ESBLs are usually encoded by self-transmissible plasmids that frequently carry resistance genes to other drug classes and have become widespread throughout the world in several Enterobacteriaceae, emphasizing their clinical significance.

Abstract
A carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter freundii strain WCHCF65 was recovered from hospital sewage and was characterized by genome sequencing and conjugation experiments. The strain carried nine genes encoding β-lactamases including two carbapenemase genes, blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2. blaNDM-1 was carried on an IncX3 plasmid, which was identical to a plasmid found in a local Escherichia coli, suggesting interspecies horizontal transfer. blaKPC-2 was bracketed by two copies of insertion sequence ISKpn19, which could form a composite transposon with the potential to mobilize blaKPC-2, on a new type of plasmid. The coexistence of blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 conferred higher levels of resistance to carbapenems compared with blaNDM-1 or blaKPC-2 alone. The coexistence of these carbapenemase genes, on two different plasmids, in one strain may allow new genetic platforms to be generated to mediate their spread.

Abstract
Here we report five cases of NDM-7-producing Escherichia coli from patients with bacteriuria in a teaching hospital in mainland China. Two isolates belonged to sequence type 131 (ST131), simultaneously carrying blaCTX-M-15, blaSHV-11, blaTEM-1 and qnrS1. The blaNDM-7 gene was located on a conjugative IncX3-type plasmid bearing blaTEM-1 and qnrS1. These findings indicate the spread of NDM-7 metallo-β-lactamase in a highly resistant and virulent E. coli sequence type in China.
