RESUMO

Multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections worldwide and frequently carries antimicrobial resistance genes in moving elements. In this study, we described a K. pneumoniae clinical isolate carrying simultaneous chromosomal blaKPC, and plasmid-mediated blaNDM and blaOXA-9. The isolate is multidrug-resistant and belongs to ST 225. While blaKPC were identified in the chromosome, the blaNDM was mediated by IncFII(K) plasmid and the blaOXA-9, in a IncFIB(K) plasmid. The blaKPC context was composed by Tn4401 transposon and two insertion sequences ISKpn6 and ISKpn7. The co-production of diverse ß-lactamases brings an alert about a new adaptive profile of K. pneumoniae strains and their dissemination in the hospital-acquired infectious.

RESUMO

Among healthcare-associated infections that can affect a critically ill patient, bloodstream infections are one of the most frequent causes of mortality, especially in hospitalized patients. The objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of the XGEN Multi Sepsis Flow Chip for the rapid diagnosis of bloodstream infections compared with conventional tests. In total, 101 positive blood culture samples were included, and the results obtained by the phenotypic conventional method (culture with susceptibility profile) were compared with results obtained by the XGEN Multi Sepsis Flow Chip. This molecular assay allows the simultaneous detection of the main bloodstream infection pathogens, and their most common antibiotic resistance markers in a short period of time. It was possible to observe substantial agreement between the methods for identifying the genus of pathogens. Considering species, the agreement was excellent. In relation to susceptibility, excellent agreement was noted between the detected resistance genes and susceptibility profile obtained through conventional antibiograms. The evaluated assay presented very early and satisfactory results for identification and detection of resistance genes of the main pathogens involved in bloodstream infections.

RESUMO

We characterized by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) six carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from a Brazilian tertiary hospital during a 14-day period. The ISAba1-blaOXA-23 structure was found in the chromosome of five isolates, whereas blaOXA-72 was inserted in a 16.6-kb plasmid in two isolates. The presence of ISAba1-blaADC-like justified the high broad-spectrum cephalosporins minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) (MIC50, > 512 mg/L) verified in all isolates. Only minocycline (MIC50, ≤ 0.5 µg/mL), polymyxin B (MIC50, 0.5 µg/mL), and tigecycline (MIC50, 0.5 µg/mL) were in vitro active against such isolates. A diversity of other antimicrobial resistance determinants (aph(3')-VIa, aadA1, aac(3')-IIa, strA, strB, sul2, drfA1, mph(E), msr(E), tetB, and floR) was also observed, which may confer resistance to at last six distinct antimicrobial classes. Four distinct pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles were observed during the study period, which belonged to ST79/ST258 (n = 2; IC5), ST25/ST229 (n = 2; IC7), ST1 (n = 1; IC1), and ST162/ST235 (n = 1; IC4). Although the ST1 isolate that carried blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-72 was introduced in this hospital setting by a transferred patient, two clonally related ST79/ST258 isolates carrying either one of these carbapenemase encoding genes were recovered from two patients who were hospitalized within the same period of time in the same hospital unit. Finally, a good correlation between PFGE/MLST, blaOXA-51 variant, and single nucleotide polymorphisms was also observed. Here we demonstrated that distinct extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii clones can circulate in the same hospital setting during a short time period, illustrating a very complex epidemiological scenario for this priority pathogen.
