Genetic characterization of plasmid-borne blaOXA-58 and blaOXA-72 in Acinetobacter pittii in Shaanxi, China
Objectives
Acinetobacter pittii has emerged as an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections. The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic structures of plasmids carrying carbapenemase genes blaOXA-58 and blaOXA-72 in A. pittii strains AR3676 and AR3651 isolated from patients.
Methods
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using broth microdilution. Whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed to characterize the genome of A. pittii AR3676 and AR3651. Conjugation experiments were conducted to evaluate plasmid transferability. Phylogenetic and comparative genomic analysis were performed to explore the characteristics of carbapenem-resistant A. pittii isolates worldwide.
Results
The AR3676 strain showed resistance to imipenem. The 19 700-bp plasmid pAR3676-OXA-58 harboured blaOXA-58 with genetic contexts consisting of a truncated ISAba3-like-blaOXA58-ISAba3. Additionally, the AR3651 strain showed resistance to imipenem and meropenem. The AR3651 genome comprised one 9,837-bp RepA_AB plasmid pAR3651-OXA-72 harbouring blaOXA-72. This blaOXA-72 was flanked by XerC/XerD recombination sites. The conjugation of plasmids pAR3676-OXA-58 and pAR3651-OXA-72 from A. pittii to Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978RIFR failed three independent times. Phylogenetic analysis of A. pittii strains AR3676, AR3651, and a further 504 A. pittii strains collected between 1966 and 2022 from various geographic localities revealed genetic diversity with a heterogeneous distribution of carbapenemase genes.
Conclusions
A. pittii strains with a plasmid carrying blaOXA-58 or blaOXA-72 may serve as an important reservoir of carbapenemase genes. Carbapenemase genes on a single plasmid may facilitate their dissemination and persistence. Additionally, pdif sites and mobile elements play an important role in the mobilization of resistance genes and plasmid evolution.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR) is a quarterly online journal run by an international Editorial Board that focuses on the global spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes.
JGAR is a dedicated journal for all professionals working in research, health care, the environment and animal infection control, aiming to track the resistance threat worldwide and provides a single voice devoted to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Featuring peer-reviewed and up to date research articles, reviews, short notes and hot topics JGAR covers the key topics related to antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic resistance.
