ABSTRACT We report the first clinical Escherichia coli strain EC3000 with concomitant chromosomal colistin and carbapenem resistance. A novel in-frame deletion, Δ6-11 (RPISLR), in pmrB that contributes to colistin resistance was verified using recombinant DNA techniques. Although being less fit than the wild-type (WT) strain or EC3000 revertant (chromosomal replacement of WT pmrB in EC3000), a portion of serially passaged EC3000 strains preserving colistin resistance without selective pressure raises the concern for further spread.

ABSTRACT Here we describe the spread of colistin resistance in clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Medellín, Colombia. Among 32 isolates collected between 2012 and 2014, 24 showed genetic alterations in mgrB. Nineteen isolates belonged to sequence type 512 (ST512) (or its single locus variant [SLV]) and harbored an 8.1-kb hsdMSR insertion corresponding to ISKpn25, indicating a clonal expansion of the resistant strain. The insertion region showed 100% identity to several plasmids, suggesting that the colistin resistance is mediated by chromosomal integration of plasmid DNA.

ABSTRACTStool samples from 38 travelers returning from India were screened for extended-spectrum cephalosporin- and carbapenem-resistantEnterobacteriaceaeimplementing standard selective plates. Twenty-six (76.3%) people were colonized with CTX-M or DHA producers, but none of the strains was colistin resistant and/ormcr-1positive. Nevertheless, using overnight enrichment and CHROMagar Orientation plates supplemented with colistin, four people (10.5%) were found to be colonized with colistin-resistantEscherichia coli. One cephalosporin-susceptible sequence type 10 (ST10) strain carried a 4,211-bp ISApl1-mcr-1-ISApl1element in an IncHI2 plasmid backbone.

ABSTRACTTwelve consecutive carbapenem-resistantEscherichia coliisolates were recovered from patients (infection or colonization) hospitalized between March and September 2012 in different units at a hospital in Bulgaria. They all produced the carbapenemase NDM-1 and the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase CTX-M-15, together with the 16S rRNA methylase RmtB, conferring high-level resistance to all aminoglycosides. All those isolates were clonally related and belonged to the same sequence type, ST101. In addition to being the first to identify NDM-producing isolates in Bulgaria, this is the very first study reporting an outbreak of NDM-1-producingE. coliin the world.

ABSTRACT We report the presence of mcr-1 in Escherichia coli and carbapenem-resistant Cronobacter sakazakii from the same diseased chicken. The mcr-1 gene linked with ISApl1 was located on two different IncI2 plasmids, including one multidrug plasmid in E. coli, whereas fosA3-bla NDM-9 was on an IncB/O plasmid in C. sakazakii. The development of the fosA3-bla NDM-9 resistance region was mediated by IS26. The colocation of mcr-1 or bla NDM-9 with other resistance genes will accelerate the dissemination of the two genes.

SUMMARYColistin resistance mediated by the mcr-1 gene has been reported worldwide, but to date not from the Andean region, South America. We report the first clinical isolate of Escherichia coli harbouring the mcr-1 gene in Ecuador. The strain was isolated from peritoneal fluid from a 14-year-old male with acute appendicitis, and subjected to molecular analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration of colistin for the strain was 8 mg/ml and it was susceptible to carbapenems but resistant to tigecycline. The strain harboured mcr-1 and blaCTX-M-55 genes and was of sequence type 609. The recognition of an apparently commensal strain of E. coli harbouring mcr-1 serves as an alert to the presence in the region of this recently described resistance mechanism to one of the last line of drugs available for the treatment of multi-resistant Gram-negative infections.

ABSTRACTA carbapenem-resistantEscherichia coliisolate (sequence type 448 [ST448]) was recovered from a urine culture of a female patient with no recent record of traveling. PCR screening identified the presence ofblaNDM-5,blaTEM-1,blaOXA-1,blaCMY-42, andrmtB. blaNDM-5was carried in a conjugative IncFII-type plasmid (90 kb) together withblaTEM-1andrmtB. The genetic environment ofblaNDM-5showed a structure similar to those of pMC-NDM and pGUE-NDM, identified in Poland and France inE. coliof African and Indian origin, respectively.

ABSTRACTTheblaIMP-14carbapenem resistance gene has largely previously been observed inPseudomonas aeruginosaandAcinetobacterspp. As part of global surveillance and sequencing of carbapenem-resistantEscherichia coli, we identified a sequence type 131 strain harboringblaIMP-14within a class 1 integron, itself nested within an ∼54-kb multidrug resistance region on an epidemic IncA/C2plasmid. The emergence ofblaIMP-14in this context in the ST131 lineage is of potential clinical concern.
