Emergence of Carbapenem-Resistant Providencia rettgeri and <i>Providencia stuartii</i> Producing IMP-Type Metallo-β-Lactamase in Japan.

Project description:Four Providencia rettgeri isolates and one Providencia stuartii isolate were obtained from urine samples of five patients in 2018 in Japan. All of the isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, and three were highly resistant to both carbapenems, with MICs of 512 μg/ml. The three highly carbapenem-resistant isolates harbored blaIMP-70, encoding a variant of IMP-1 metallo-β-lactamase with two amino acid substitutions (Val67Phe and Phe87Val), and the other two harbored blaIMP-1 and blaIMP-11, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that an isolate harbored two copies of blaIMP-1 on the chromosome and that the other four harbored a copy of blaIMP-11 or blaIMP-70 in a plasmid. Expression of blaIMP-70 conferred carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli Recombinant IMP-70 and an IMP-1 variant with Val67Phe but without Phe87Val had significant higher hydrolytic activities against meropenem than recombinant IMP-1, indicating that an amino acid substitution of Val67Phe affects increased activities against meropenem in IMP-70. These results suggest that Providencia spp. become more highly resistant to carbapenems by acquisition of two copies of blaIMP-1 or by mutation of blaIMP genes with amino acid substitutions, such as blaIMP-70.

Increased incidence of urolithiasis and bacteremia during Proteus mirabilis and Providencia stuartii coinfection due to synergistic induction of urease activity.

Project description:BackgroundCatheter-associated urinary tract infections (CaUTIs) are the most common hospital-acquired infections worldwide and are frequently polymicrobial. The urease-positive species Proteus mirabilis and Providencia stuartii are two of the leading causes of CaUTIs and commonly co-colonize catheters. These species can also cause urolithiasis and bacteremia. However, the impact of coinfection on these complications has never been addressed experimentally.MethodsA mouse model of ascending UTI was utilized to determine the impact of coinfection on colonization, urolithiasis, and bacteremia. Mice were infected with P. mirabilis or a urease mutant, P. stuartii, or a combination of these organisms. In vitro experiments were conducted to assess growth dynamics and impact of co-culture on urease activity.ResultsCoinfection resulted in a bacterial load similar to monospecies infection but with increased incidence of urolithiasis and bacteremia. These complications were urease-dependent as they were not observed during coinfection with a P. mirabilis urease mutant. Furthermore, total urease activity was increased during co-culture.ConclusionsWe conclude that P. mirabilis and P. stuartii coinfection promotes urolithiasis and bacteremia in a urease-dependent manner, at least in part through synergistic induction of urease activity. These data provide a possible explanation for the high incidence of bacteremia resulting from polymicrobial CaUTI.

Understanding Voltage Gating of Providencia stuartii Porins at Atomic Level.

Project description:Bacterial porins are water-filled β-barrel channels that allow translocation of solutes across the outer membrane. They feature a constriction zone, contributed by the plunging of extracellular loop 3 (L3) into the channel lumen. Porins are generally in the open state, but undergo gating in response to external voltages. To date the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here we report results from molecular dynamics simulations on the two porins of Providenica stuartii, Omp-Pst1 and Omp-Pst2, which display distinct voltage sensitivities. Voltage gating was observed in Omp-Pst2, where the binding of cations in-between L3 and the barrel wall results in exposing a conserved aromatic residue in the channel lumen, thereby halting ion permeation. Comparison of Omp-Pst1 and Omp-Pst2 structures and trajectories suggests that their sensitivity to voltage is encoded in the hydrogen-bonding network anchoring L3 onto the barrel wall, as we observed that it is the strength of this network that governs the probability of cations binding behind L3. That Omp-Pst2 gating is observed only when ions flow against the electrostatic potential gradient of the channel furthermore suggests a possible role for this porin in the regulation of charge distribution across the outer membrane and bacterial homeostasis.

Implication of porins in beta-lactam resistance of Providencia stuartii.

Project description:An integrative approach combining biophysical and microbiological methods was used to characterize the antibiotic translocation through the outer membrane of Providencia stuartii. Two novel members of the General Bacterial Porin family of Enterobacteriaceae, named OmpPst1 and OmpPst2, were identified in P. stuartii. In the presence of ertapenem (ERT), cefepime (FEP), and cefoxitin (FOX) in growth media, several resistant derivatives of P. stuartii ATCC 29914 showed OmpPst1-deficiency. These porin-deficient strains showed significant decrease of susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics. OmpPst1 and OmpPst2 were purified to homogeneity and reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers to study their biophysical characteristics and their interactions with β-lactam molecules. Determination of β-lactam translocation through OmpPst1 and OmpPst2 indicated that the strength of interaction decreased in the order of ertapenem ≫ cefepime > cefoxitin. Moreover, the translocation of these antibiotics through OmpPst1 was more efficient than through OmpPst2. Heterologous expression of OmpPst1 in the porin-deficient E. coli strain BL21(DE3)omp8 was associated with a higher antibiotic susceptibility of the E. coli cells to β-lactams compared with expression of OmpPst2. All our data enlighten the involvement of porins in the resistance of P. stuartii to β-lactam antibiotics.

PER-6, an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase from Aeromonas allosaccharophila.

Project description:An Aeromonas allosaccharophila environmental isolate recovered from the Seine River (Paris, France) produced a novel extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, PER-6, that shared 92% amino acid identity with the closest ss-lactamase, PER-2. The kinetic properties of PER-6 showed a slightly increased affinity for carbapenems. The bla(PER-6) gene was chromosomally located and bracketed by non-transposon-related structures.
