Emergence and clonal expansion of Aeromonas hydrophila ST1172 that simultaneously produces MOX-13 and OXA-724.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aeromonas hydrophila infections can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea; however, deep infections are rarely reported. Outbreaks of A. hydrophila are reported more frequently in fish, poultry, and snakes than in humans. This study aimed to track clonal relatedness of deep infections caused by A. hydrophila using whole genome sequencing (WGS).

Methods

We collected three isolates of A. hydrophila in July 19 to August 29, 2019, from patients that underwent spine surgery. Accurate species identification was performed using whole-genome average nucleotide identity (ANI). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a VITEK 2 automated AST-N334 Gram-negative susceptibility card system. Antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes were identified
