Molecular characterization of IncFII plasmid carrying bla_NDM-5 in a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ST34 clinical isolate in China.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

In this study, an IncFII plasmid pIncFII-NDM5 carrying bla_NDM-5 was found in carbapenem-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. enterica serovar Typhimurium), which has conjugative transferability and carried bla_NDM-5, ble_MBL, mph(A), and bla_TEM-1 four resistance genes that can mediate resistance to multiple antibiotics including cephalosporins, beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations, carbapenems, and macrolides. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 1104-65 and 1104-75 were closely related to other S. enterica serovar Typhimurium in this area. The above-mentioned S. enterica serovar Typhimurium chromosome carries bla_CTX-M-55, qnrS1, and tet(A) genes, so the antibiotic resistance of isolates will be further enhanced after obtaining the pIncFII_NDM5-like plasmid. Meanwhile, we discovered a novel genetic structure of bla_NDM-5 mediated by the IS26 composite transposon, which will expand our understanding of the emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistance genes. Altogether, the presence of the IncFII plasmid pIncFII-NDM5 further underscores the need for vigilant surveillance and appropriate infection control measures to mitigate the impact of carbapenem-resistant S. enterica serovar Typhimurium in clinical settings.

Project description: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. IMPORTANCE blaNDM-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.
