Detection of NDM-1-Positive Aeromonas caviae from Bacteremia by Using Whole-Genome Sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Nosocomial infections caused by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing bacteria are prevalent worldwide. However, such diseases caused by NDM-producing Aeromonas caviae had never been reported. Our study aimed to elucidate the genomic characteristics of NDM-1-producing A. caviae isolated from hospital patients.

Methods

Bacterial genomic features and possible origins were assessed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and phylogenetic analysis. Subsequent investigations include antimicrobial susceptibility testing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST).

Results

We identified here two NDM-1-producing A. caviae isolates from bacteremia. Susceptibility testing showed that two isolates were multi-drug resistant and shared a similar resistance profile and were only sensitive to amikacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Both A. caviae isolates carry the carbapenem resistance gene bla _NDM-1 and also have antibiotic resistance genes such as β-lactams, AmpC enzymes, macrolides, aminoglycosides, and quinolones. S1-PFGE and Southern blot analysis were negative. Whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis revealed that these two isolates shared a close relationship.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, this work describes the first detection of non-plasmid encoded bla _NDM-1 in A. caviae. The A. caviae isolated in this study has a broad drug resistance spectrum. Phenotypic and molecular analysis indicated the two isolates belong to the same clone. Routine genomic surveillance of this species is now necessary to effectively curb the further dissemination of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in the region.

Project description:Furunculosis, a serious infection caused by the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is common in sea-reared rainbow trout production in Denmark. Developing an effective control strategy requires knowledge of the epidemiology, as well as the genomic and virulent variability of the Danish A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida isolates. To obtain this, the genomes of 101 A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, including 99 Danish isolates, one Scottish strain and the type strain NCIMB 1102, were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Isolates were de novo assembled, examined for presence of plasmids, virulence and iron acquisition proteins, genomic islands, and antibiotic resistance genes. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms were aligned and subjected to Bayesian temporal phylogenetic and maximum likelihood tree reconstruction using the published genome of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida A449 as reference. Bayesian temporal phylogenetic reconstruction suggests that four major introductions of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida into Denmark have occurred. The introductions correlate with the freshwater and subsequent seawater expansion of rainbow trout production. Initial transmission of the bacterium could have been from seawater to freshwater or vice versa, and most minor clades include a mixture of strains from different fresh- and seawater farms. Genomic variation of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida mostly appeared to be associated with their plasmids and plasmid encoded virulence factors. Nine A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida isolates harbored worldwide known antibiotic resistance genes against several antibiotics and there is an indication that 33% of the isolates contained the genomic island AsaGEI1b. These findings not only support the usefulness of whole genome sequencing for genetic studies of homogeneous bacteria in general, but provide novel information about the Danish A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida population, with implications for vaccine development in efforts to better protect Danish rainbow trout in the future.
