Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) is an important pathogen that causes nosocomial infections and is resistant to almost all antibiotics, including carbapenems. Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore cephalosporin active against a broad spectrum of gram-negative bacteria. However, the susceptibility of MDRAB to cefiderocol has not yet been reported in Japan. In this study, we measured the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antibiotics including cefiderocol against MDRAB clinical isolates collected during a nosocomial outbreak between 2009 and 2010 at the Teikyo University Hospital in Japan. We found that all 10 MDRAB clinical isolates tested were susceptible to cefiderocol, with an MIC range of 0.12 to 1 μg/mL. All the isolates also exhibited resistance to ampicillin-sulbactam and an intermediate resistance to colistin, whereas nine of them were susceptible to tigecycline. DNA sequencing revealed that all strains harbored an OXA-51-like carbapenemase, a major cause of carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii in Japan. In conclusion, this study showed that the cefiderocol susceptibility of MDRAB clinical isolates in Japan was equivalent to that to colistin or tigecycline, and thus cefiderocol is a potential treatment option for MDRAB infections.

Abstract
The occurrence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRA) has increased rapidly and is associated with severe nosocomial infections. MDRA has emerged in the hospital setting and has evolved into extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii (XDRA). A clinical XDRA isolate obtained from a hospitalised patient in 2016 was evaluated for antibiotic susceptibility and whole-genome sequence. The XDRA isolate was resistant to β-lactams, including broad-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems, and to aminoglycosides, fosfomycin, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, tigecycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The isolate harboured abaF, ant(3″)-II-c, aph(3″)-Ib, aph(6)-Id, armA, blaADC-73, blaTEM-1, blaOXA-66, blaOXA-23, mphE, msrE and tet(B). Quinolone resistance was associated with mutations gyrA S81L and parC S84L. Tigecycline resistance was associated with a mutation in adeS. The isolate belonged to Oxford and Pasteur scheme sequence type 1050 and 2, respectively, and harboured a conjugative plasmid containing the aminoglycoside resistance transposon TnaphA6. Our study demonstrates that the isolate is closely related to a recent MDRA identified in Australia and the USA, in which a similar conjugative plasmid is not observed. Although the MDRA in Australia caused an outbreak, our hospital's surveillance protocol managed to prevent a further outbreak. Our finding suggests that this XDRA isolate is of concern in hospital and community care settings. The gpi allele could be a marker for discriminating this isolate from clonal complex 92 isolates.

Abstract
Carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative organisms (CPOs) frequently gain multidrug-resistant phenotypes and thereby limit the therapeutic options available. Colonisation and infection with CPOs are critical risks for mortality in clinical settings, especially in critical care medicine. Carbapenemase genes on plasmids have transferred to many Gram-negative species, and these species have spread, leading to global concern regarding antimicrobial resistance. A molecular rapid diagnostic test (mRDT) for CPOs is urgently required in critical care medicine. Here, we evaluated a rapid lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for CPOs isolated from patients at university hospitals, including intensive care units, and compared the results with those obtained using the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. NG-test CARBA 5 detected multiple carbapenemases, KPC, OXA-48, NDM, VIM, and IMP variants expressed in clinical isolates. Quick Chaser IMP detected IMP variants. The LFIAs exhibited 100% sensitivity and specificity relative to clinical isolates on agar plates. By contrast, the multiplex PCR method exhibited a limited ability to detect IMP-7-producing isolates not belonging to the IMP1 group, which resulted in 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity for IMP-producing isolates. Our results demonstrate that the LFIA is a useful mRDT to identify CPOs and has an advantage over the PCR method for both detection time and sensitivity to the IMP groups. LFIA could complement the nucleic acid amplification test used to identify CPOs. In conclusion, we evaluated sensitive and specific LFIAs capable of detecting carbapenemase production in Gram-negative bacteria. We anticipate that LFIAs will become a point-of-care test enabling rapid detection of carbapenemases in hospital settings, particularly in intensive care units.

Abstract
The invertebrate model, Galleria mellonella, has been widely used to study host-pathogen interactions due to its cheapness, ease of handling, and similar mammalian innate immune system. G. mellonella larvae have been proven to be useful and a reliable model for analyzing pathogenesis mechanisms of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic pathogen difficult to kill. This review describes the detailed experimental design of G. mellonella/A. baumannii models, and provides a comprehensive comparison of various virulence factors and therapy strategies using the G. mellonella host. These investigations highlight the importance of this host-pathogen model for in vivo pathogen virulence studies. On the long term, further development of the G. mellonella/A. baumannii model will offer promising insights for clinical treatments of A. baumannii infection.

Abstract
Infections of CTX-M extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales are a severe threat in clinical settings. CTX-M genes on plasmids have been transferred to many Enterobacterales species, and these species have spread, leading to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance. Here, we developed a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on an anti-CTX-M rabbit monoclonal antibody. This antibody detected CTX-M variants from the CTX-M-9, CTX-M-2, and CTX-M-1 groups expressed in clinical isolates. The LFIA showed 100% sensitivity and specificity with clinical isolates on agar plates, and its limit of detection was 0.8 ng/mL recombinant CTX-M-14. The rabbit monoclonal antibody did not cross-react with bacteria producing other class A β-lactamases, including SHV. In conclusion, we developed a highly sensitive and specific LFIA capable of detecting CTX-M enzyme production in Enterobacterales. We anticipate that our LFIA will become a point-of-care test enabling rapid detection of CTX-M in hospital and community settings as well as a rapid environmental test.

Abstract
The increased focus on the public health burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) raises conceptual challenges, such as determining how much harm multidrug-resistant organisms do compared to what, or how to establish the burden. Here, we present a counterfactual framework and provide guidance to harmonize methodologies and optimize study quality. In AMR-burden studies, 2 counterfactual approaches have been applied: the harm of drug-resistant infections relative to the harm of the same drug-susceptible infections (the susceptible-infection counterfactual); and the total harm of drug-resistant infections relative to a situation where such infections were prevented (the no-infection counterfactual). We propose to use an intervention-based causal approach to determine the most appropriate counterfactual. We show that intervention scenarios, species of interest, and types of infections influence the choice of counterfactual. We recommend using purpose-designed cohort studies to apply this counterfactual framework, whereby the selection of cohorts (patients with drug-resistant, drug-susceptible infections, and those with no infection) should be based on matching on time to infection through exposure density sampling to avoid biased estimates. Application of survival methods is preferred, considering competing events. We conclude by advocating estimation of the burden of AMR by using the no-infection and susceptible-infection counterfactuals. The resulting numbers will provide policy-relevant information about the upper and lower bound of future interventions designed to control AMR. The counterfactuals should be applied in cohort studies, whereby selection of the unexposed cohorts should be based on exposure density sampling, applying methods avoiding time-dependent bias and confounding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are an emerging threat in healthcare settings worldwide. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the presence of carbapenemase genes in CPE in a tertiary care university hospital in Tokyo, Japan. METHODS Carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates were collected in 2018 at Teikyo University Hospital (Tokyo, Japan). Bacterial species were identified using MALDI-TOF MS. Carbapenemase production was evaluated using a carbapenemase inactivation method. The presence of carbapenemase genes was confirmed by multiplex PCR and DNA sequencing. RESULTS Four CPE isolates were identified: two Enterobacter cloacae complex strains and Klebsiella oxytoca and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. Three of the isolates (E. cloacae complex and K. oxytoca) were IMP-1-type producers, including IMP-10 in their produced metallo-β-lactamase, and are epidemic in East Japan. The IMP-10-producing E. cloacae complex strain also produced CTX-M ESBL. The other CPE isolate (K. pneumoniae) is a VIM-1 producer. VIM-1-producing K. pneumoniae is epidemic in Europe, especially in Greece. Accordingly, the VIM-1 producer was isolated from a patient with a medical history in Greece. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed the emergence of E. cloacae complex co-producing IMP-1-type carbapenemase and CTX-M ESBL, and K. pneumoniae producing VIM-1 carbapenemase in clinical isolates in Japan. Metallo-β-lactamase was the most prevalent type of carbapenemase at Teikyo University Hospital, especially IMP-1-type carbapenemase. The detection of VIM-1-producing K. pneumoniae suggests that epidemic CPE from overseas can spread to countries with low CPE prevalence, such as Japan, highlighting the need for active surveillance.

Whole-Genome Analysis of Two Copies of bla NDM-1 Gene Carrying Acinetobacter johnsonii Strain Acsw19 Isolated from Sichuan, China. Infect Drug Resist 2020; 13:855-865. [PMID: 32273730 PMCID: PMC7106997 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s236200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To characterize the genetic feature of the carbapenems resistant Acinetobacter johnsonii strain Acsw19 isolated from municipal sludge. This strain was found to carry two copies of bla NDM-1, cmlB1-like gene, and bla OXA-211-like gene along with other 8 antimicrobial resistance genes, 3 plasmids, 15 genomic islands and 8 prophages. Methods A carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter johnsonii strain Acsw19 isolated from municipal sludge was subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS) via the PacBio and Illumina MiSeq platforms. Thereafter, the characteristic was analyzed by a series of bioinformatics software. Results The results showed that the genome of Acsw19 was consisted of a 3,433,749 bp circular chromosome and 3 circular plasmids, pAcsw19-1 (11,161 bp), pAcsw19-2 (351,885 bp) and pAcsw19-3 (38,391bp), respectively. Resistome analysis showed that Acsw19 carried 12 antimicrobial resistance genes, including 6 [cmlB1-like, bla NDM-1, bla OXA-58, aph (3')-VIa, msr(E) and mph(E)] in the plasmid pAcsw19-2 and 6 (bla OXA-211-like, bla NDM-1, aph(3")-Ib, aph(6)-Id, sul2, and floR) in the chromosome genome. Specifically, the cmlB1-like gene shared 86.33%, 71.7% and 71.9% similarities with the cmlB1, cmlA4 and cmlA8 gene, and the bla OXA-211-like gene shared 94.4%, 95.39% and 96.36% similarities with bla OXA-211, bla OXA-643 and bla OXA-652, at the nucleotide level, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the bla OXA-211-like gene and cmlB1-like gene had the closest evolutionary relationship with bla OXA-643 and cmlB1, respectively. These results indicated that the bla OXA-211-like and cmlB1-like genes identified in the current study should be the novel variant resistance genes. Conclusion Carrying of two copies of bla NDM-1, cmlB1-like, bla OXA-211-like and along with other 8 antimicrobial resistance genes, 3 plasmids, 15 genomic islands and 8 prophages Acinetobacter johnsonii strain might increase the possibility of spreading of resistance genes.
