Molecular characterization of extensively drug-resistant hypervirulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in China.
Background: Recently, extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR-PA) isolates have been increasingly detected and posed great challenges to clinical anti-infection treatments. However, little is known about extensively resistant hypervirulent P. aeruginosa (XDR-hvPA). In this study, we investigate its epidemiological characteristics and provide important basis for preventing its dissemination.
Methods: Clinical XDR-PA isolates were collected from January 2018 to January 2023 and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry; antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution method, and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were evaluated. Virulence was evaluated using the Galleria mellonella infection model; molecular characteristics, including resistance genes, virulence genes, and homology, were determined using whole-genome sequencing.
Results: A total of 77 XDR-PA strains were collected; 47/77 strains were XDR-hvPA. Patients aged > 60 years showed a significantly higher detection rate of XDR-hvPA than of XDR-non-hvPA. Among the 47 XDR-hvPA strains, 24 strains carried a carbapenemase gene, including blaGES-1 (10/47), blaVIM-2 (6/47), blaGES-14 (4/47), blaIMP-45 (2/47), blaKPC-2 (1/47), and blaNDM-14 (1/47). ExoU, exoT, exoY, and exoS, important virulence factors of PA, were found in 31/47, 47/47, 46/47, and 29/47 strains, respectively. Notably, two XDR-hvPA simultaneously co-carried exoU and exoS. Six serotypes (O1, O4-O7, and O11) were detected; O11 (19/47), O7 (13/47), and O4 (9/47) were the most prevalent. In 2018-2020, O4 and O7 were the most prevalent serotypes; 2021 onward, O11 (16/26) was the most prevalent serotype. Fourteen types of ST were detected, mainly ST235 (14/47), ST1158 (13/47), and ST1800 (7/47). Five global epidemic ST235 XDR-hvPA carried blaGES and showed the MIC value of ceftazidime/avibactam reached the susceptibility breakpoint (8/4 mg/L).
Conclusions: The clinical detection rate of XDR-hvPA is unexpectedly high, particularly in patients aged > 60 years, who are seemingly more susceptible to contracting this infection. Clonal transmission of XDR-hvPA carrying blaGES, which belongs to the global epidemic ST235, was noted. Therefore, the monitoring of XDR-hvPA should be strengthened, particularly for elderly hospitalized patients, to prevent its spread.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials considers good quality, novel and international research of more than regional relevance. Research must include epidemiological and/or clinical information about isolates, and the journal covers the clinical microbiology of bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as antimicrobial treatment of infectious diseases.
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials is an open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on information concerning clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and antimicrobials. The management of infectious disease is dependent on correct diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment, and with this in mind, the journal aims to improve the communication between laboratory and clinical science in the field of clinical microbiology and antimicrobial treatment. Furthermore, the journal has no restrictions on space or access; this ensures that the journal can reach the widest possible audience.
