Abstract
In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility and molecular characteristics of antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter colistiniresistens strains isolated from the bloodstream using whole-genome sequencing. Clinical isolates identified as Acinetobacter baumannii and showing colistin resistance at the time of detection were collected. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined using the VITEK2 system (bioMérieux) and Sensititre system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Species identification and antimicrobial resistance gene searches were performed through whole-genome sequencing. Through whole-genome sequencing, three colistin-resistant strains from the bloodstream were identified as A. colistiniresistens. All three A. colistiniresistens strains were resistant to two or more antimicrobial agents except for colistin, and two of them were resistant to carbapenems. Genes involved in aminoglycoside [AAC(3)-Ⅱb, AAC(6')-Ⅰj, aadA2, ANT(3″)-Ⅱb, APH(3')-Ⅵa], macrolide (mphD, msrE), carbapenem and cephalosporin (OXA-420, VIM-2), fluoroquinolone and tetracycline (adeF), and sulfonamide (sul1, sul2) resistance were detected. We report multidrug-resistant A. colistiniresistens strains isolated from the bloodstream through whole-genome sequencing. Two strains carried carbapenemase genes, and this is the first report of VIM-2-producing A. colistiniresistens.
期刊介绍:
Microbial Drug Resistance (MDR) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that covers the global spread and threat of multi-drug resistant clones of major pathogens that are widely documented in hospitals and the scientific community. The Journal addresses the serious challenges of trying to decipher the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance. MDR provides a multidisciplinary forum for peer-reviewed original publications as well as topical reviews and special reports.
MDR coverage includes:
Molecular biology of resistance mechanisms
Virulence genes and disease
Molecular epidemiology
Drug design
Infection control.
