Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) outbreaks in hospital settings challenge the treatment of patients and infection control. Understanding the relatedness of clinical isolates is important in distinguishing outbreak isolates from sporadic cases. This study investigated 11 CRAB isolates from a hospital outbreak by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), utilizing various bioinformatics tools for outbreak analysis. The results of multilocus sequence typing (MLST), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, and phylogenetic tree analysis by WGS through web-based tools were compared, and repetitive element polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) typing was performed. Through the WGS of 11 A. baumannii isolates, three clonal lineages were identified from the outbreak. The coexistence of blaOXA-23, blaOXA-66, blaADC-25, and armA with additional aminoglycoside-inactivating enzymes, predicted to confer multidrug resistance, was identified in all isolates. The MLST Oxford scheme identified three types (ST191, ST369, and ST451), and, through whole-genome MLST and whole-genome SNP analyses, different clones were found to exist within the MLST types. wgSNP showed the highest discriminatory power with the lowest similarities among the isolates. Using the various bioinformatics tools for WGS, CRAB outbreak analysis was applicable and identified three discrete clusters differentiating the separate epidemiologic relationships among the isolates.

This procedure provides instructions on how to prepare DNA libraries for whole genome sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq or NextSeq using Illumina’s DNA Prep Library Preparation Kit scaled to half reaction volumes with modifications to the post-PCR procedures; tagmentation stop buffer and associated washes are removed and libraries are pooled post PCR then a single size selection is performed. This protocol is used to sequence SARS-CoV-2 using the cDNA/PCR protocol: https://dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.b3viqn4e

Aim: This study aims to characterize clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii with an extensively drug-resistant phenotype. Methods: VITEK® 2, Etest® method and broth microdilution method for colistin were used. PCR analysis and multilocus sequence typing Pasteur scheme were performed to identify bla-OXA genes and genetic relatedness, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing analysis was used to characterize three isolates. Results: All the isolates were susceptible only to polymyxins. blaOXA-23-like gene was the only acquired carbapenemase gene in 88.2% of the isolates. Multilocus sequence typing identified various sequence types: ST2, ST19, ST195, ST577 and ST632. Two new sequence types, namely, ST1279 and ST1280, were detected by whole-genome sequencing. Conclusion: This study showed that carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates causing infections in intensive care units almost exclusively produce OXA-23, underlining their frequent spread in Italy.
