Central role of the ramAR locus in the multidrug resistance in ESBL-Enterobacterales.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the proportion of resistance to a temocillin, tigecycline, ciprofloxacin, and chloramphenicol phenotype called t2c2 that resulted from mutations within the ramAR locus among extended-spectrum β-lactamases-Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) isolated in three intensive care units for 3 years in a French university hospital. Two parallel approaches were performed on all 443 ESBL-E included: (i) the minimal inhibitory concentrations of temocillin, tigecycline, ciprofloxacin, and chloramphenicol were determined and (ii) the genomes obtained from the Illumina sequencing platform were analyzed to determine multilocus sequence types, resistomes, and diversity of several tetR-associated genes including ramAR operon. Among the 443 ESBL-E strai
