Acquisition of Class C β-Lactamase PAC-1 by Sequence Type 644 Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
2019
Four sequence type 664 (ST664) (serotype O:5) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that were highly resistant to antibiotics, including ceftolozane-tazobactam and ceftazidime-avibactam, but were susceptible to colistin were found to harbor the gene encoding the rare class C β-lactamase PAC-1 on a chromosomally located Tn 1721 -like transposon. The bla PAC-1 gene was associated with the 16S rRNA methylase determinant rmtF2 , which confers pan-aminoglycoside resistance.
Outbreak of IMI-1 Carbapenemase-producing colistin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae on the French island of Mayotte (Indian Ocean)
2018
International audience; The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the Southwest Indian Ocean islands is poorly known. Here we describe an outbreak of colistin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae harbouring blaIMI-1 in the French overseas department of Mayotte. Between October 2015 and January 2017, all isolates of imipenem-non-susceptible E. cloacae at Mayotte Medical Center and University Hospital of Reunion Island were screened for carbapenemase production. Positive isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and all β-lactamase genes were identified by PCR and sequencing.
