Molecular characteristics of clinical IMP-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: novel IMP-90 and integron In2147.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since the first report of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in China in 2007, the prevalence of CRKP and CRE has increased significantly. However, the molecular characteristics of IMP-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (IMPKp) are rarely reported.

Methods

A total of 29 IMPKp isolates were collected from a Chinese tertiary hospital from 2011 to 2017. Clinical IMPKp were identified by VITEK^®MS, and further analyzed by whole-genome DNA sequencing with HiSeq and PacBio RSII sequencer. Sequencing data were analyzed using CSI Phylogeny 1.4, Resfinder, PlasmidFinder and the MLST tool provided by the Centre for Genomic Epidemiology. The analysis results were visualized using iTOL editor v1_1. The open reading frames and pseudogenes were predicted using RAST 2.0 combined with BLASTP/BLASTN searches against the RefSeq database. The databases CARD, ResFinder, ISfinder, and INTEGRALL were performed for annotation of the resistance genes, mobile elements, and other features. The types of bla_IMP in clinical isolates were determined by BIGSdb-Pasteur. Integrons were drawn by Snapgene, and the gene organization diagrams were drawn by Inkscape 0.48.1.

Results

Four novel ST type, including ST5422, ST5423, ST5426 and ST5427 were identified. The IMP-4 and IMP-1 were the dominant IMP type. The majority of bla_IMP-carrying plasmids belonged to IncN and IncHI5. Two novel bla_IMP-carrying integrons (In2146 and In2147) were uncovered. A novel variant bla_IMP-90 presented in novel integron In2147 has been identified.

Conclusions

IMPKp showed low prevalence in China. Novel molecular characteristics of IMPKp have been identified. Continuous monitoring of IMPKp shall also be carried out in the future.

Project description:PurposeCarbapenemases-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are challenging antimicrobial therapy of hospitalised patients, which is further complicated by colistin resistance. This study describes molecular epidemiological insights into colistin-resistant and carbapenemases-producing clinical K. pneumoniae.Patients and methodsCultures collected from 26 hospitalised patients during 2014-2017 in the main hospital in Molise Region, central Italy, were characterized. The minimum inhibitory concentration for 19 antibiotics was determined, including carbapenems and colistin. Prevalence of resistance-associated genes was investigated through PCR, detecting bla KPC, bla GES, bla VIM, bla IMP, bla NDM, bla OXA-48, bla CTX-M, bla TEM, bla SHV, and mcr-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The mgrB gene was also analysed in colistin-resistant strains by PCR and sequencing assays. K. pneumoniae were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST).ResultsTwenty out of 26 K. pneumoniae were phenotypically resistant to carbapenems and 19 were resistant to colistin. All isolates harbored bla KPC, and bla SHV, bla TEM and bla VIM were further the most common resistance-associated genes. In colistin-resistant strains, mcr-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 variants were not detected, while mutations and insertion elements in mgrB were observed in 68.4% (n=13) in 31.6% (n=6) isolates, respectively. PFGE revealed 12 clusters and 18 pulsotypes at 85% and 95% cut-off, while the Sequence Types ST512 (n=13, 50%), ST101 (n=10, 38.5%), ST307 (n=2, 7.7%) plus a novel ST were detected using MLST.ConclusionAll K. pneumoniae showed a multidrug-resistant phenotype, particularly to carbapenems and colistin. According to national data, bla KPC was the prevailing carbapenemase, followed by bla VIM, while bla TEM and bla SHV were among the most frequent beta-lactamases. Consistent with previous reports in Italy, ST512 was the most common clone, particularly during 2014-15, whilst ST101 became dominant in 2016-17. Colistin resistance was mainly associated with deleterious mutations and transposon in the mgrB gene. Improvements of surveillance, compliance with infection prevention procedures and antimicrobial stewardship are essential to limit the spread of resistant K. pneumoniae.

Project description:ObjectivesLittle is known about IMP-producing Enterobacterales (IMP-Ent) in Europe. We analyzed at genomic and phenotypic level IMP-Ent isolates circulating in Spain in a 9-year period.Materials and methodsIMP-Ent isolates submitted to our reference laboratory were included. Antibiotic susceptibility was performed using microdilution method (EUCAST), and IMP-carbapenemase activity was measured with carbapenemase inhibitors, the β-CARBA method, the modified Hodge test (MHT), and the modified carbapenemase inhibition method (mCIM). All isolates collected were sequenced for high-resolution single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing, core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and resistome analysis.ResultsFifty IMP-Ent isolates, collected from 19 hospitals in 13 Spanish provinces, were detected: Klebsiella pneumoniae (IMP-Kpn) (24; 48%), Enterobacter roggenkampii (13; 26%), Enterobacter hormaechei (8, 16%), Klebsiella oxytoca (two; 4%), Enterobacter asburiae (one, 2%), Serratia marcescens (one; 2%) and Escherichia coli (one; 2%). All isolates were positive by the MHT and β-CARBA tests; 48 (96%) were mCIM positive; 12 (24%) and 26 (52%) displayed positive inhibition with dipicolinic (meropenem) and EDTA (ertapenem), respectively. Five IMP-carbapenemase types were identified: IMP-8 (22; 44%), IMP-22 (17; 34%), IMP-13 (7; 14%), IMP-28 (two; 4%), and IMP-15 (two; 4%), predominating IMP-8 in K. pneumoniae and IMP-22 in E. roggenkampii. IMP-28 was exclusively identified in K. oxytoca and IMP-15 in E. hormaechei. Predominant STs were ST405 (29.2%), ST15 (25%) and ST464 (20.8%) in IMP-Kpn; ST96 (100%) in E. roggenkampii and ST182 (62.5%) in E. hormachei. Colistin and amikacin were the most active non-carbapenem antibiotics against IMP-Ent.ConclusionIMP-Ent isolates remain infrequent in Spain, although in recent years have been circulating causing nosocomial outbreaks, being IMP-8-producing K. pneumoniae and IMP-22-producing E. roggenkampii the most frequently detected in this study. Inhibition with EDTA or dipicolinic acid presented false negative results in some IMP-producing strains. Active microbiological and molecular surveillance is essential for a better comprehension and control of IMP-Ent dissemination.
