RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acinetobacter species other than A. baumannii are becoming increasingly more important as opportunistic pathogens for humans. The primary aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, species distribution, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and carbapenemase gene content of clinical Acinetobacter non-baumannii (Anb) isolates that were collected as part of a sentinel surveillance program of bacterial infections in hospitalized patients. The secondary aim was to evaluate the performance of MALDI-TOF MS systems for the species-level identification of Anb isolates. METHODS: Clinical bacterial isolates were collected from multiple sites across Russia and Kazakhstan in 2016-2022. Species identification was performed by means of MALDI-TOF MS, with the Autobio and Bruker systems used in parallel. The PCR detection of the species-specific blaOXA-51-like gene was used as a means of differentiating A. baumannii from Anb species, and the partial sequencing of the rpoB gene was used as a reference method for Anb species identification. The susceptibility of isolates to antibiotics (amikacin, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, colistin, gentamicin, imipenem, meropenem, sulbactam, tigecycline, tobramycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) was determined using the broth microdilution method. The presence of the most common in Acinetobacter-acquired carbapenemase genes (blaOXA-23-like, blaOXA-24/40-like, blaOXA-58-like, blaNDM, blaIMP, and blaVIM) was assessed using real-time PCR. RESULTS: In total, 234 isolates were identified as belonging to 14 Anb species. These comprised 6.2% of Acinetobacter spp. and 0.7% of all bacterial isolates from the observations. Among the Anb species, the most abundant were A. pittii (42.7%), A. nosocomialis (13.7%), the A. calcoaceticus/oleivorans group (9.0%), A. bereziniae (7.7%), and A. geminorum (6.0%). Notably, two environmental species, A. oleivorans and A. courvalinii, were found for the first time in the clinical samples of patients with urinary tract infections. The prevalence of resistance to different antibiotics in Anb species varied from <4% (meropenem and colistin) to 11.2% (gentamicin). Most isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics; however, sporadic isolates of A. bereziniae, A. johnsonii, A. nosocomialis, A. oleivorans, A. pittii, and A. ursingii were resistant to carbapenems. A. bereziniae was more frequently resistant to sulbactam, aminoglycosides, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and tigecycline than the other species. Four (1.7%) isolates of A. bereziniae, A. johnsonii, A. pittii were found to carry carbapenemase genes (blaOXA-58-like and blaNDM, either alone or in combination). The overall accuracy rates of the species-level identification of Anb isolates with the Autobio and Bruker systems were 80.8% and 88.5%, with misidentifications occurring in 5 and 3 species, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides important new insights into the methods of identification, occurrence, species distribution, and antibiotic resistance traits of clinical Anb isolates.

RESUMO

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has become widely used in clinical microbiology and has proved highly accurate for detection of carbapenemases in Gram-negative bacteria. However, the use of carbapenem-hydrolysis assays in routine diagnostics is hampered by the need for antibiotic substances and for making their fresh solutions each time an assay is conducted. Here, we evaluated the use of commercial antibiotic susceptibility-testing disks as source of ertapenem substrate in MALDI-TOF MS-based assay for detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE). The assay was validated on 48 CPE isolates of 8 different species expressing NDM-, VIM-, KPC- and OXA-48-type carbapenemases and exhibiting various levels of resistance to carbapenems (MIC range: 0.25- > 32 mg/l), as well as on 48 carbapenemase-non-producing isolates. The assay conditions were optimized as follows: 10-µl loopful of bacterial colonies was suspended in 150 µl 0.01 M Na-PBS buffer, pH 7.4, a 10 µg ertapenem susceptibility-testing disk was immersed in the suspension and incubated 3 h at 35°C, after which supernatant was obtained by centrifugation and applied on a target plate with alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid matrix. Mass spectra were analyzed between 440 and 560 m/z. Carbapenemase activity was detected in all tested CPE isolates by the appearance of m/z peaks corresponding to ertapenem hydrolysis products: [Mh + H]+:494.2, [Mh + Na]+:516.2, [Mh + 2Na]+:538.2, [Mh/d + H]+:450.2, [Mh/d + Na]+:472.2, and simultaneous decrease or loss of peaks of intact antibiotic: [M + H]+:476.2, [M + Na]+:498.1, [M + 2Na]+:520.1. No hydrolysis peaks or loss of intact ertapenem peaks were observed for carbapenemase-negative strains. We therefore report the development of a sensitive, specific and cost-effective MALDI-TOF MS-based assay for detection of CPE, which makes use of antibiotic disks readily available in most laboratories.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The dissemination of mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes is a serious healthcare threat because polymyxins represent "last-line" therapeutics for multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of colistin resistance and mcr genes and characteristics of clinical Escherichia coli (Eco) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) isolates and plasmids carrying these genes in Russia. METHODS: A total of 4324 Eco and 4530 Kpn collected in the frame of sentinel surveillance in 2013-2018 were tested for susceptibility to colistin and other antibiotics using the broth microdilution method. mcr genes were screened by real-time PCR. Phylogeny, genomic features and plasmids of mcr-positive isolates were assessed using whole-genome sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis. RESULTS: Colistin resistance was detected in 2.24% Eco and 9.3% Kpn. Twenty-two (0.51%) Eco and two (0.04%) Kpn from distant sites carried mcr-1.1. Most mcr-positive isolates co-harbored ESBLs and other resistance determinants to various antibiotic classes. The mcr-positive Eco belonged to 16 MLST types, with ST359 being most common; Kpn belonged to ST307 and ST23. mcr-1.1 was carried mainly in IncI2 (n = 18) and IncX4 (n = 5) plasmids highly similar to those identified previously in human, animal and environmental isolates. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated a dissemination of "typical" mcr-bearing plasmids among diverse Eco and Kpn genotypes and across a wide geographic area in Russia. Given the frequent association of mcr with other resistance determinants and potential clinical impact, the continual surveillance of this threat is warranted.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of A. baumannii antibiotic-resistant strains in Kazakhstan and to characterize genotypes related to epidemic "high-risk" clones. Two hundred and twenty four A. baumannii isolates from four cities of Kazakhstan in 2011-2019 were studied. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by using broth microdilutions method according to EUCAST (v 11.0) recommendations. The presence of blaOXA-23-like, blaOXA-24/40-like,blaOXA-58-like,blaVIM,blaIMP, and blaNDM genes was determined by PCR. Genotyping was performed using high-throughput real-time PCR detection of 21 SNPs at 10 chromosomal loci used in existing MLST schemes. Resistance rates to imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin were 81.3%, 78.6%, 79.9%, 65.2%, and 89.3%, respectively. No colistin resistant isolates were detected. The values of the MIC 50% and the MIC 90% of tigecycline were 0.125 mg/L, only four isolates (1.8%) had the ECOFF value >0.5 mg/L. The presence of acquired carbapenemase genes was found in 82.2% strains, including blaOXA-23-like (78.6%) or blaOXA-58-like (3.6%) genes. The spreading of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii strains in Kazakhstan was associated with epidemic "high-risk" clonal groups, predominantly, CG208(92)OXF/CG2PAS (80.8%) and less often CG231(109)OXF/CG1PAS (1.8%).

RESUMO

A high level of resistance to carbapenems in Acinetobacter baumannii strains severely limits therapeutic possibilities. Colistin is the last resort drug against such strains, although the cases of resistance to this drug have become more frequent. This article presents the epidemiological features and genetic diversity of colistin nonsusceptible A. baumannii strains collected as part of a national multicenter epidemiological study of the antibiotic resistance of pathogens of nosocomial infections (MARATHON), which was conducted in 2013-2014 in Russia. A total of 527 A. baumannii isolates were collected, 10 (1.9%) of which were nonsusceptible to colistin. The majority of nonsusceptible A. baumannii isolates to colistin showed resistance to carbapenems and had the genes of the acquired OXA-40-like carbapenemases (n = 6). In one case, a combination of OXA-23-like + OXA-40-like (n = 1) genes was identified. One strain had the multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype, 6 isolates had extensively drug-resistant (XDR) phenotype, and 3 isolates had pandrug-resistant (PDR) phenotype. Among the colistin nonsusceptible A. baumannii isolates, 6 individual genotypes were identified, most of which belonged to successful international clones (CC92OXF/CC2PAS, n = 4; CC944OXF/ST78PAS, n = 4; CC109OXF/CC1PAS, n = 1).
