ABSTRACT
The study describes the first isolation of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae ST16, Escherichia coli ST131 (Esc), and Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. steigerwaltii ST93 (Enterobacter cloacae complex [ECC]) in Sri Lanka. Eight MDR strains of uropathogenic Enterobacterales isolated from hospital acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) were analyzed using genomic sequencing and comparative genomics. Isolates carried multiple carbapenemase, AmpC, and ESBL (extended-spectrum ß-lactamase) genes. ECC manifested both blaNDM-4 and blaOXA-181. The K. pneumoniae strains harbored fimbrial genes that facilitate pathogenesis of UTI. Several extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli associated virulence genes were identified in Esc. The efflux pump gene, acrA, and the T6SS gene cluster were detected in ECC. Many antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence genes were identified associated with mobile genetic elements. ISEcp1 flanked upstream of blaCTX-M-15. The carbapenemase genes were carried on ColKP3 plasmids and were associated with ISEcp1. In Esc, the AMR gene blaTEM-1B and virulence gene traT were found on an IncF plasmid replicon. In K. pneumoniae the AMR genes sul1 and tetB present on IncR plasmid replicons and were associated with the insertion sequence IS6100. In Kp5, blaLAP-2 and qnrS1 coexisted and were flanked by ISEcl. AMR gene clusters, conferring resistance to multiple antimicrobial classes, flanked by mobile elements were identified in seven isolates.
