New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase 5-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 258, Southwest China, 2017.

ABSTRACT: We isolated a New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 5 (NDM-5)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 258 strain in southwest China during 2017. The bla_NDM-5 gene was acquired by horizontal plasmid transfer from NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli. We identified genomic characteristics in ST258 strains that differed from those of global K. pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing strains.

Project description:Polymyxins are last-line antibiotics employed against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae. Worryingly, polymyxin resistance is rapidly on the rise globally. Polymyxins initially target lipid A of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) in the cell outer membrane (OM), causing disorganization and cell lysis. While most studies focus on how genetic variations confer polymyxin resistance, the mechanisms of membrane remodeling and metabolic changes in polymyxin-resistant strains remain unclear, thus hampering the development of effective therapies to treat severe K. pneumoniae infections. In the present study, lipid A profiling, OM lipidomics, genomics, and metabolomics were integrated to elucidate the global mechanisms of polymyxin resistance and metabolic adaptation in a polymyxin-resistant strain (strain S01R; MIC of >128 mg/L) obtained from K. pneumoniae strain S01, a polymyxin-susceptible (MIC of 2 mg/L), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing MDR clinical isolate. Genomic analysis revealed a novel in-frame deletion at position V258 of PhoQ in S01R, potentially leading to lipid A modification with 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose (L-Ara4N) despite the absence of polymyxin B. Comparative metabolomic analysis revealed slightly elevated levels of energy production and amino acid metabolism in S01R compared to their levels in S01. Exposure to polymyxin B (4 mg/L for S01 and 512 mg/L for S01R) substantially altered energy, nucleotide, and amino acid metabolism and resulted in greater accumulation of lipids in both strains. Furthermore, the change induced by polymyxin B treatment was dramatic at both 1 and 4 h in S01 but only significant at 4 h in S01R. Overall, profound metabolic adaptation was observed in S01R following polymyxin B treatment. These findings contribute to our understanding of polymyxin resistance mechanisms in problematic NDM-producing K. pneumoniae strains and may facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. The emergence of resistance to the polymyxins that are the last line of defense in so-called Gram-negative "superbugs" has further increased the urgency to develop novel therapies. There are frequent outbreaks of K. pneumoniae infections in hospitals being reported, and polymyxin usage is increasing remarkably. Importantly, the polymyxin-resistant K. pneumoniae strains are imposing more severe consequences to health systems. Using metabolomics, lipid A profiling, and outer membrane lipidomics, our findings reveal (i) changes in the pentose phosphate pathway and amino acid and nucleotide metabolism in a susceptible strain following polymyxin treatment and (ii) how cellular metabolism, lipid A modification, and outer membrane remodeling were altered in K. pneumoniae following the acquisition of polymyxin resistance. Our study provides, for the first time, mechanistic insights into metabolic responses to polymyxin treatment in a multidrug-resistant, NDM-producing K. pneumoniae clinical isolate with acquired polymyxin resistance. Overall, these results will assist in identifying new therapeutic targets to combat and prevent polymyxin resistance.

Project description:IntroductionInfections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a significant cause of death worldwide, and carbapenemase-producing bacteria are the principal agents. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP-NDM-1) is an extensively drug-resistant bacterium that has been previously reported in Mexico. Our aim was to conduct a case-control study to describe the risk factors associated with nosocomial infections caused by K. pneumoniae producing NDM-1 in a tertiary-care hospital in Mexico.MethodsA retrospective case-control study with patients hospitalized from January 2012 to February 2018 at the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde" was designed. During this period, 139 patients with a culture that was positive for K. pneumoniae NDM-1 (cases) and 486 patients hospitalized in the same department and on the same date as the cases (controls) were included. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 24, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate the risk factors for KP-NDM-1 infection.ResultsOne hundred and thirty-nine case patients with a KP-NDM-1 isolate and 486 control patients were analyzed. In the case group, acute renal failure was a significant comorbidity, hospitalization days were extended, and significantly more deaths occurred. In a multivariate analysis of risk factors, the independent variables included the previous use of antibiotics (odds ratio, OR = 12.252), the use of a urinary catheter (OR = 5.985), the use of a central venous catheter (OR = 5.518), the use of mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.459), and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (OR = 2.334) as predictors of infection with NDM-1 K. pneumoniae.ConclusionIn this study, the previous use of antibiotics, the use of a urinary catheter, the use of a central venous catheter, the use of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stay were shown to be predictors of infection with NDM-1 K. pneumoniae and were independent risk factors for infection with NDM-1 K. pneumoniae.
