Detection of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Whole Genome Sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has become a hazard to public health, making medical treatment challenging and ineffective. Whole-genome sequencing for antibiotic susceptibility testing offers a powerful replacement for conventional microbiological methods.

Objective

The present study evaluated the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in selected clinical strains of P. aeruginosa using whole-genome sequencing for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Results

Whole-genome sequencing of P. aeruginosa susceptible to common antibiotics showed the presence of 4 antibiotic resistance gene types, fosA, catB7, blaPAO, and blaOXA-50. Whole genome sequencing of resistant or multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa showed the presence of multiple ARGs, such as sul1, aac(3)-Ic, blaPAO, blaGES-1, blaGES-5 aph (3')-XV, blaOXA-50, aacA4, catB7, aph(3')-IIb, aadA6, fosA, tet(G), cmlA1, aac(6')Ib-cr, and rmtF.

Conclusion

The acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes was found to depend on the resistance of Pseudomonas to antibiotics. The strain with the highest resistance to antibiotics had the highest acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes. MDR-P. aeruginosa produces antibiotic resistance genes against aminoglycoside, β-lactam, fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, phenicol, and fosfomycin antibiotics.

Project description:BackgroundPseudomonas aeruginosa is incriminated in septicemia, significant economic losses in the poultry production sector, and severe respiratory infections in humans. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, oprL sequencing, antimicrobial resistance patterns, virulence-determinant, Quorum sensing, and antibiotic resistance genes of P. aeruginosa retrieved from broiler chickens.MethodsTwo hundred samples were collected from 120 broiler chickens from broiler farms at Ismailia Governorate, Egypt. Consequently, the bacteriological examination was conducted and the obtained P. aeruginosa strains were tested for oprL gene sequencing, antibiogram, and PCR screening of virulence, Quorum sensing, and antibiotic resistance genes.ResultsThe overall prevalence of P. aeruginosa in the examined birds was 28.3%. The oprL gene sequence analysis underlined that the tested strain expressed a notable genetic identity with various P. aeruginosa strains isolated from different geographical areas in the USA, India, China, Chile, and Ghana. PCR evidenced that the obtained P. aeruginosa strains, carrying virulence-related genes: oprL, toxA, aprA, phzM, and exoS in a prevalence of 100%, 100%, 42.5%, 33.3%, and 25.9%, respectively. Moreover, the recovered P. aeruginosa strains possessed the Quorum sensing genes: lasI, lasR, rhlI, and rhlR in a prevalence of 85.2%, 85.2%, 81.5%, and 81.5%, respectively. Furthermore, 40.7% of the isolated P. aeruginosa were XDR to seven antimicrobial classes, possessing sul1, bla TEM, tetA, bla CTX-M, bla OXA-1, and aadA1 genes.ConclusionAs we can tell, this is the first report emphasizing the evolution of XDR P. aeruginosa strains from broiler chicken in Egypt, which is supposed to be a serious threat to public health. The emerging XDR P. aeruginosa in poultry frequently harbored the oprL, toxA, and aprA virulence genes, the lasI, lasR, rhlI, and rhlR Quorum sensing genes, and the sul1, bla TEM, tetA, bla CTXM, bla OXA-1, and aadA1 resistance genes.
