Cross-border emergence of clonal lineages of ST38 Escherichia coli producing the OXA-48-like carbapenemase OXA-244 in Germany and Switzerland

Falgenhauer, Linda ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Imirzalioglu, Can ; Yao, Yancheng ; Falgenhauer, Jane ; M.Hauri, Anja ; Heinmüller, Petra ; Chakraborty, Trinad

Background: Carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria cause infections that are difficult to treat and represent a rising threat to healthcare systems worldwide. This study analysed isolates of Escherichia coli (E. coli), a species associated with nosocomial-acquired and community-acquired infections, from hospitals in Germany and Switzerland exhibiting a slight decrease in...

Genetic features leading to reduced susceptibility to aztreonam-avibactam among metallo-β-lactamase-producing escherichia coli isolates

Sadek, Mustafa ; Juhas, Mario ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020, vol. 64, no. 2020-12, p. -

Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Escherichia coli isolates resistant to the newly developed β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor drug combination aztreonam-avibactam (ATM-AVI) have been reported. Here, we analyzed a series of 118 clinical MBL- producing E. coli isolates of various geographical origins for susceptibility to ATM-AVI. The nature of the PBP3 protein sequence and the occurrence of...

Ongoing dissemination of OXA-244 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli in Switzerland and their detection

OXA-244 is a derivative of OXA-48 showing weaker carbapenemase activity, compromising the detection of corresponding producers in clinical laboratories. Since 2017, the Swiss National Reference Center for Emerging Antibiotic Resistance noticed an increased identification of OXA-244-producing Escherichia coli (n=15) within the country. Different methods (biochemical and immunoassay tests,...

Draft genome sequence of an mcr-1/IncI2-carrying multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli B1:ST101 isolated from meat and meat products in Egypt

Characterization of FosL1, a plasmid-encoded fosfomycin resistance protein identified in Escherichia coli

Kieffer, Nicolas ; Poirel, Laurent ; Descombes, Marie-Christine ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020, vol. 64, no. 4, p. -

Fosfomycin is gaining renewed interest for treating urinary tract infections. Monitoring fosfomycin resistance is therefore important in order to detect the emergence of novel resistance mechanisms. Here, we used the Rapid Fosfomycin NP test to screen a collection of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- producing Escherichia coli isolates from Switzerland and found a fosfomycin- resistant isolate...

Identification of fosa8, a plasmid-encoded fosfomycin resistance determinant from Escherichia coli, and its origin in Leclercia adecarboxylata

Poirel, Laurent ; Vuillemin, Xavier ; Kieffer, Nicolas ; Mueller, Linda ; Descombes, Marie-Christine ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2019, vol. 63, no. 11, p. -

A plasmid-located fosfomycin resistance gene, fosA8, was identified from a CTX-M- 15-producing Escherichia coli isolate recovered from urine. Identification of this gene was obtained by whole-genome sequencing. It encoded FosA8, which shares 79% and 78% amino acid identity with the most closely related FosA2 and FosA1 enzymes, respectively. The fosA8 gene was located on a transferable 50-kb...

Functional characterization of a miniature inverted transposable element at the origin of mcr-5 gene acquisition in Escherichia coli

Kieffer, Nicolas ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Millemann, Yves ; Poirel, Laurent

Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance of the mobile colistin resistance (MCR) type is a growing concern in Enterobacteriaceae since it has been described worldwide in humans and animals. Here, we identified a series of MCR-producing Escherichia coli isolates corresponding to two different clones (represented by isolates PS1 and PS8b) producing MCR-1 and MCR-5, respectively, obtained from pig...

Full genome sequence of pT3, a multiresistant plasmid carrying the mcr-3.5 colistin resistance gene, recovered from an extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolate from crickets sold as food

Zurfluh, Katrin ; Stevens, Marc J. A. ; Bucher, Melissa ; Poirel, Laurent ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Stephan, Roger

In: Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2019/8/29/e00647-19, /mra/8/29/MRA.00647-19.atom

Here, we sequenced multidrug resistance plasmid pT3, which encodes mcr-3.5 and other resistance genes. The cooccurrence of mcr genes and other resistance genes on a single plasmid is of concern.
