ABSTRACTNew Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-3 (NDM-3) was identified in a multidrug-resistantEscherichia coliisolate, NCGM77, obtained from the feces of a patient in Japan. The enzymatic activities of NDM-3 against β-lactams were similar to those of NDM-1, although NDM-3 showed slightly lowerkcat/Kmratios for all the β-lactams tested except for doripenem. The genetic context forblaNDM-3wastnpA-blaNDM-3-bleMBL-trpF-dsbC-tnpA-sulI-qacEdeltaI-aadA2-dfrA1, which was present on an approximately 250-kb plasmid.

ABSTRACTA novel metallo-β-lactamase, NDM-8, was identified in a multidrug-resistantEscherichia coliisolate, IOMTU11 (NCGM37), obtained from the respiratory tract of a patient in Nepal. The amino acid sequence of NDM-8 has substitutions at positions 130 (Asp to Gly) and 154 (Met to Leu) compared with NDM-1. NDM-8 showed enzymatic activities against β-lactams similar to those of NDM-1.

The complete genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain isolated from a healthy pig in Cuba was determined using short and long reads. This strain carried four plasmids, including a 42,683-kb IncX1 plasmid, which contains the third-generation cephalosporin resistance gene bla CTX-M-32 together with other disinfectant and antibiotic resistance genes.

ABSTRACTNew Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producingEnterobacteriaceaehas disseminated rapidly throughout the world and poses an urgent threat to public health. Previous studies confirmed that theblaNDM-1gene is typically carried in plasmids but rarely in chromosome. We discovered a multidrug-resistantEscherichia colistrain Y5, originating from a urine sample and containing theblaNDM-1gene, which did not transfer by either conjugation or electrotransformation. We confirmed the possibility of its chromosome location by S1-pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and XbaI-PFGE, followed by Southern blotting. To determine the genomic background ofblaNDM-1, the genome of Y5 was completely sequenced and compared to other reference genomes. The results of our study revealed that this isolate consists of a 4.8-Mbp chromosome and three plasmids, it is an epidemic clone of sequence type (ST) 167, and it shows 99% identity withEscherichia coli6409 (GenBank accession no.CP010371), which lacks the sameblaNDM-1gene-surrounding structure as Y5. TheblaNDM-1gene is embedded in the chromosome along with two tandem copies of an insertion sequence common region 1 (ISCR1) element (sul1-ARR-3-cat-blaNDM-1-bleo-ISCR1), which appears intact in the plasmid fromProteus mirabilis(GenBank accession no.KP662515). The genomic context indicates that the ISCR1element mediated theblaNDM-1transposition from a single source plasmid to the chromosome. Our study is the first report of anEnterobacteriaceaestrain harboring a chromosomally integratedblaNDM-1, which directly reveals the vertical spreading pattern of the gene. Close surveillance is urgently needed to monitor the emergence and potential spread of ST167 strains that harborblaNDM-1.

ABSTRACTA novel New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase, NDM-13, was identified in a carbapenem-resistantEscherichia coliclinical isolate obtained from the urine of a patient in Nepal. The enzymatic activity of NDM-13 against β-lactams was similar to that of NDM-1. However, NDM-13 displayed significantly higherkcat/Kmratios for cefotaxime. The genetic environment ofblaNDM-13was determined to betnpA-IS30-blaNDM-13-bleMBL-trpF-dsbC-cutA-groES-groL, withblaNDM-13located within the chromosome.

ABSTRACT We present here the draft genome sequence of the first New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1)-producing Escherichia coli strain, belonging to sequence type 155 (ST155), isolated in Peru. Assembly of this draft genome resulted in 5,061,184 bp, revealing a clinically significant resistome for β-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, phenicols, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and fluoroquinolones.

ABSTRACTA novel New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variant, NDM-12, was identified in a carbapenem-resistantEscherichia coliclinical isolate obtained from a urine sample from a patient in Nepal. NDM-12 differed from NDM-1 by two amino acid substitutions (M154L and G222D). The enzymatic activities of NDM-12 against β-lactams were similar to those of NDM-1, although NDM-12 showed lowerkcat/Kmratios for all β-lactams tested except doripenem. TheblaNDM-12gene was located in a plasmid of 160 kb.

ABSTRACT Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have spread worldwide, leaving very few treatment options available. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) is the main carbapenemase mediating CRE resistance and is of increasing concern. NDM-positive Enterobacteriaceae of human origin are frequently identified; however, the emergence of NDM, and particularly novel variants, in bacteria of food animal origin has never been reported. Here, we characterize a novel NDM variant (assigned NDM-17) identified in a β-lactam-resistant sequence type 48 (ST48) Escherichia coli strain that was isolated from a chicken in China. Compared to NDM-1, NDM-17 had three amino acid substitutions (V88L, M154L, and E170K) that confer significantly enhanced carbapenemase activity. Compared to NDM-5, NDM-17 had only one amino acid substitution (E170K) and slightly increased isolate resistance to carbapenem, as indicated by increased MIC values. The gene encoding NDM-17 (bla NDM-17) was located on an IncX3 plasmid, which was readily transferrable to recipient E. coli strain J53 by conjugation, suggesting the possibility of the rapid dissemination of bla NDM-17. Enzyme kinetics showed that NDM-17 could hydrolyze all β-lactams tested, except for aztreonam, and had a significantly higher affinity for all β-lactams tested than did NDM-5. The emergence of this novel NDM variant could pose a threat to public health because of its transferability and enhanced carbapenemase activity.

ABSTRACTA new variant of the New Delhi metallo-enzyme (NDM) carbapenemase was identified in a multidrug-resistantEscherichia coliST648 isolate recovered from the perineum and throat of a patient in the United Kingdom with a recent history of hospitalization in India. NDM-5 differed from existing enzymes due to substitutions at positions 88 (Val→Leu) and 154 (Met→Leu) and reduced the susceptibility ofE. coliTOP10 transformants to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems when expressed under its native promoter.

ABSTRACT We report the complete genome of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain isolated from a New Zealand patient with a history of hospitalization in India. The strain, carrying eight plasmids, harbors chromosome-encoded nfsA and nfsB mutations, which cause nitrofuran resistance, and class C β-lactamase (blaEC) and plasmid-encoded blaNDM-1, blaCTX-M-15, and blaCMY-6, as well as other antibiotic resistance genes.
