Abstract
Due to the rising incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections, the last-line antibiotics, polymyxins, have resurged in the clinics in parallel with new bacterial strategies of escape. The Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops resistance to colistin/polymyxin B by distinct molecular mechanisms, mostly through modification of the lipid A component of the LPS by proteins encoded within the arnBCDATEF-ugd (arn) operon. In this work, we characterized a polymyxin-induced operon named mipBA, present in P. aeruginosa strains devoid of the arn operon. We showed that mipBA is activated by the ParR/ParS two-component regulatory system in response to polymyxins. Structural modeling revealed that MipA folds as an outer-membrane β-barrel, harboring an internal negatively charged channel, able to host a polymyxin molecule, while the lipoprotein MipB adopts a β-lactamase fold with two additional C-terminal domains. Experimental work confirmed that MipA and MipB localize to the bacterial envelope, and they co-purify in vitro. Nano differential scanning fluorimetry showed that polymyxins stabilized MipA in a specific and dose-dependent manner. Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics on P. aeruginosa membranes demonstrated that ∆mipBA synthesized fourfold less MexXY-OprA proteins in response to polymyxin B compared to the wild-type strain. The decrease was a direct consequence of impaired transcriptional activation of the mex operon operated by ParR/ParS. We propose MipA/MipB to act as membrane (co)sensors working in concert to activate ParS histidine kinase and help the bacterium to cope with polymyxin-mediated envelope stress through synthesis of the efflux pump, MexXY-OprA.IMPORTANCEDue to the emergence of multidrug-resistant isolates, antibiotic options may be limited to polymyxins to eradicate Gram-negative infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a leading opportunistic pathogen, has the ability to develop resistance to these cationic lipopeptides by modifying its lipopolysaccharide through proteins encoded within the arn operon. Herein, we describe a sub-group of P. aeruginosa strains lacking the arn operon yet exhibiting adaptability to polymyxins. Exposition to sub-lethal polymyxin concentrations induced the expression and production of two envelope-associated proteins. Among those, MipA, an outer-membrane barrel, is able to specifically bind polymyxins with an affinity in the 10-µM range. Using membrane proteomics and phenotypic assays, we showed that MipA and MipB participate in the adaptive response to polymyxins via ParR/ParS regulatory signaling. We propose a new model wherein the MipA-MipB module functions as a novel polymyxin sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Murepavadin is a peptidomimetic exhibiting specific inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas species. In the present study, its in vitro activity was assessed on 230 cystic fibrosis (CF) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from 12 French hospitals, in comparison with 12 other antipseudomonal antibiotics. Although murepavadin is still in preclinical stage of development, 9.1% (n = 21) of strains had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) >4 mg/L, a level at least 128-fold higher than the modal MIC value of the whole collection (≤0.06 mg/L). Whole-genome sequencing of these 21 strains along with more susceptible isogenic counterparts coexisting in the same patients revealed diverse mutations in genes involved in the synthesis (lpxL1 and lpxL2) or transport of lipopolysaccharides (bamA, lptD, and msbA), or encoding histidine kinases of two-component systems (pmrB and cbrA). Allelic replacement experiments with wild-type reference strain PAO1 confirmed that alteration of genes lpxL1, bamA, and/or pmrB can decrease the murepavadin susceptibility from 8- to 32-fold. Furthermore, we found that specific amino acid substitutions in histidine kinase PmrB (G188D, Q105P, and D45E) reduce the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to murepavadin, colistin, and tobramycin, three antibiotics used or intended to be used (murepavadin) in aerosols to treat colonized CF patients. Whether colistin or tobramycin may select mutants resistant to murepavadin or the opposite needs to be addressed by clinical studies.

Abstract
Here, we characterized the first French NDM-9-producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolate. A. baumannii 13A297, which belonged to the STPas25 (international clone IC7), was highly resistant to β-lactams including cefiderocol (MIC >32 mg/L). Whole genome sequencing (WGS) using both Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies revealed a 166-kb non-conjugative plasmid harboring a blaNDM-9 gene embedded in a Tn125 composite transposon. Complementation of E. coli DH5α and A. baumannii CIP70.10 strains with the pABEC plasmid carrying the blaNDM-1 or blaNDM-9 gene, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in cefiderocol MIC values (16 to >256-fold), particularly in the NDM-9 transformants. Interestingly, steady-state kinetic parameters, measured using purified NDM-1 and NDM-9 (Glu152Lys) enzymes, revealed that the affinity for cefiderocol was 3-fold higher for NDM-9 (Km = 53 μM) than for NDM-1 (Km = 161 μM), leading to a 2-fold increase in catalytic efficiency for NDM-9 (0.13 and 0.069 μM-1.s-1, for NDM-9 and NDM-1, respectively). Finally, we showed by molecular docking experiments that the residue 152 of NDM-like enzymes plays a key role in cefiderocol binding and resistance, by allowing a strong ionic interaction between the Lys152 residue of NDM-9 with both the Asp223 residue of NDM-9 and the carboxylate group of the R1 substituent of cefiderocol.

Abstract
Cefiderocol is a siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin with potent activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens including Acinetobacter baumannii. The aim of this study was to evaluate cefiderocol testing methods on a relevant collection of 97 Acinetobacter spp. isolates. Commercialized broth microdilution methods (ComASP®, Liofilchem and UMIC®, Bruker), MIC test strips (Liofilchem) and disc diffusion using discs of three different brands (Mast Diagnostic, Liofilchem and Oxoid-Thermo Fisher Scientific) were compared with the broth microdilution reference method. None of the methods tested fulfilled acceptable criteria (essential agreement [EA] ≥ 90%; bias = ±30%) but both BMD methods achieved acceptable categorical agreement rates (CA = 95.9% [93/97, 95% CI 89.9-98.4] and CA = 93.8% [91/97, 95% CI 87.2-97.1] for ComASP® and UMIC®, respectively) and bias < 30% (-7.2% and -25.2% for ComASP® and UMIC®, respectively). The use of MIC gradient testing is strongly discouraged due to misclassification of 55% (n = 23/42) of resistant strains. Finally, the disc diffusion method could be used to rapidly screen for susceptible strains by setting a critical diameter of 22 mm.

Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Achromobacter are environmental germs, with an unknown reservoir. It can become opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients, causing bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, or peritonitis. In recent years, Achromobacter xylosoxidans has emerged with increasing incidence in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Recent studies showed that A. xylosoxidans is involved in the degradation of the respiratory function of patients with CF. The respiratory ecosystem of patients with CF is colonized by bacterial species that constantly fight for space and access to nutrients. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) empowers this constant bacterial antagonism, and it is used as a virulence factor in several pathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the T6SS genes in A. xylosoxidans isolated in patients with CF. We also evaluated clinical and molecular characteristics of T6SS-positive A. xylosoxidans strains. We showed that A. xylosoxidans possesses a T6SS gene cluster and that some environmental and clinical isolates assemble a functional T6SS nanomachine. A. xylosoxidans T6SS is used to target competing bacteria, including other CF-specific pathogens. Finally, we demonstrated the importance of the T6SS in the internalization of A. xylosoxidans in lung epithelial cells and that the T6SS protein Hcp is detected in the sputum of patients with CF. Altogether, these results suggest for the first time a role of T6SS in CF-lung colonization by A. xylosoxidans and opens promising perspective to target this virulence determinant as innovative theranostic options for CF management.

Abstract
Dual resistance to colistin and carbapenems is a milestone reached by certain extensively-drug resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria. This study describes the first outbreak of XDR colistin- and carbapenem-resistant OXA-23-/NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii (CCRAB) in the European overseas territory of Reunion Island (France, Indian Ocean). Between April 2019 and June 2020, 13 patients admitted to the University Hospital of Reunion Island were involved in the outbreak, of whom eight were infected and six died. The first case was traced to a medical evacuation from Mayotte Island (Comoros archipelago). An epidemiological link could be established for 11 patients. All of the collected CCRAB isolates showed the same resistance profile and co-produced intrinsic β-lactamases OXA-69 and ADC-191, together with acquired carbapenem-hydrolysing β-lactamases OXA-23 and NDM-1. A mutation likely involved in colistin resistance was detected in the two-component system PmrAB (D82N in PmrA). All of the isolates were found to belong to STPas1/STOx231 clonal complex and were phylogenetically indistinguishable. Their further characterization by whole-genome sequence analyses (whole-genome multi-locus sequence typing, single nucleotide polymorphisms) provided hints about the transmission pathways. This study pleads for strict application of control and prevention measures in institutions where the risk of imported XDR bacteria is high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii often results from mutational activation of the two-component system PmrAB and subsequent addition of phospho-ethanolamine (pEtN) to lipooligosaccharide by up-regulated pEtN transferase PmrC. OBJECTIVES To characterize mechanisms of colistin resistance independent of PmrCAB in A. baumannii. METHODS Twenty-seven colistin-resistant A. baumannii were collected from 2012 to 2018. Analysis of operon pmrCAB was performed by PCR and sequencing. Seven strains were investigated further by WGS and whole-genome MLST (wgMLST). RESULTS Seven out of the 27 selected isolates were found to overexpress eptA, a gene homologous to pmrC, likely as a consequence of upstream insertion of an ISAba1 element. Insertion sites of ISAba1 were mapped 13, 18 and 156 bp ahead of the start codon of eptA in five strains, one strain and one strain, respectively. The finding that the isolates did not cluster together when compared by wgMLST analysis supports the notion that distinct insertion events occurred in close, but different, genetic backgrounds. CONCLUSIONS Activation of eptA and subsequent addition of pEtN to the cell surface represents a novel mechanism of resistance to colistin in A. baumannii.

Abstract
A novel carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase, called IMP-63, was identified in three clonally distinct strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two strains of Pseudomonas putida isolated within a 4 year timeframe in three French hospitals. The blaIMP–63 gene that encodes this carbapenemase turned out to be located in the variable region of four integrons (In1297, In1574, In1573, and In1572) and to coexist with novel or rare gene cassettes (fosM, gcu170, gcuF1) and insertion elements (ISPsp7v, ISPa16v). All these integrons except one (In1574) were flanked by a copy of insertion sequence ISPa17 next to the orf6 putative gene, and were carried by non-conjugative plasmids (pNECK1, pROUSS1, pROUSS2, pROUE1). These plasmids exhibit unique modular structures and partial sequence homologies with plasmids previously identified in various non-fermenting environmental Gram-negative species. Lines of evidence suggest that ISPa17 promoted en bloc the transposition of IMP-63-encoding integrons on these different plasmids. As demonstrated by genotyping experiments, isolates of P. aeruginosa harboring the 28.9-kb plasmid pNECK1 and belonging to international “high-risk” clone ST308 were responsible for an outbreak in one hospital. Collectively, these data provide an insight into the complex and unpredictable routes of diffusion of some resistance determinants, here blaIMP–63, among Pseudomonas species.
