ABSTRACTAn Ambler class A β-lactamase gene,blaCIA-1, was cloned from the reference strainChryseobacterium indologenesATCC 29897 and expressed inEscherichia coliBL21. TheblaCIA-1gene encodes a novel extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) that shared 68% and 60% identities with the CGA-1 and CME-1 β-lactamases, respectively.blaCIA-1-like genes were detected from clinical isolates. In addition to the metallo-β-lactamase IND of Ambler class B,C. indologeneshas a class A ESBL gene,blaCIA-1, located on the chromosome.

ABSTRACT Chryseobacterium gleum (previously included in the Flavobacterium IIb species) is a gram-negative aerobe that is a source of nosocomial infections. An Ambler class B β-lactamase gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli from reference strain C. gleum CIP 103039 that had reduced susceptibility to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems. The purified β-lactamase, CGB-1, with a pI value of 8.6 and a determined relative molecular mass of ca. 26 kDa, hydrolyzed penicillins; narrow- and expanded-spectrum cephalosporins; and carbapenems. CGB-1 was a novel member of the molecular subclass B1 of metallo-enzymes. It had 83 and 42% amino acid identity with IND-1 from Chryseobacterium indologenes and BlaB from C. meningosepticum, respectively. Thus, in addition to the previously characterized clavulanic acid-inhibited extended-spectrum β-lactamase CGA-1 of Ambler class A, C. gleum produces a very likely chromosome-borne class B β-lactamase.

ABSTRACT A chromosome-encoded β-lactamase gene, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli from Kluyvera georgiana reference strain CUETM 4246-74 (DSM 9408), encoded the extended-spectrum β-lactamase KLUG-1, which shared 99% amino acid identity with the plasmid-mediated β-lactamase CTX-M-8. This work provides further evidence that Kluyvera spp. may be the progenitor(s) of CTX-M-type β-lactamases.

ABSTRACT A chromosomally located β-lactamase gene, cloned and expressed inEscherichia coli from a reference strain of the enterobacterial species Kluyvera cryocrescens, encoded a clavulanic acid-inhibited Ambler class A enzyme, KLUC-1, with a pI value of 7.4. KLUC-1 shared 86% amino acid identity with a subgroup of plasmid-mediated CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (CTX-M-1, -3, -10, -11, and -12), the most closely related enzymes, and 77% amino acid identity with KLUA-1 from Kluyvera ascorbata.The substrate profile of KLUC-1 corresponded to that of CTX-M-type enzymes.

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii isolate KAR was uncommonly more resistant to cefepime and cefpirome than to ceftazidime and cefotaxime. Cloning and expression of the β-lactamase gene content of this isolate into Escherichia coli TOP10 identified ß-lactamase RTG-4 (or CARB-10), which corresponds to the first reported extended-spectrum CARB-type enzyme. RTG-4 is a plasmid-encoded Ambler class A β-lactamase whose sequence differs by 4 amino acid substitutions from the narrow-spectrum β-lactamase RTG-3. RTG-4 hydrolyzes cefepime and cefpirome and weakly hydrolyzes ceftazidime due to the single Ser-to-Thr substitution at Ambler position 69. RTG-4 is less susceptible to inhibition by tazobactam and sulbactam than RTG-3. Expression of β-lactamase RTG-4 in a wild-type A. baumannii reference strain showed that it conferred resistance to cefepime and cefpirome. The genetic environment of the bla RTG-4 gene was made of a peculiar transposon located on a ca. 50-kb plasmid. ISAba9, located upstream of bla RTG-4, may be responsible for its acquisition by recognizing a secondary right inverted repeat sequence, thus acting by a one-ended transposition process.

ABSTRACTTwo porcineEscherichia coliisolates harbored thecfrgene on conjugative plasmids of 38,405 bp (pGXEC6) and 41,646 bp (pGXEC3). In these two plasmids, thecfrgene was located within a 4,612-bp region containing atnpA-IS26-cfr-IS26-Δhypelement. Plasmid pGXEC3 was almost identical to pGXEC6 except for a 3,235-bp ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-14binsertion. The colocation of the multiresistancecfrgene with an extended-spectrum-β-lactamase gene on a conjugative plasmid may support the dissemination of these genes by coselection.

ABSTRACTCeftazidime-avibactam has activity againstPseudomonas aeruginosaandEnterobacteriaceaeexpressing numerous class A and class C β-lactamases, although the ability to inhibit many minor enzyme variants has not been established. Novel VEB class A β-lactamases were identified during characterization of surveillance isolates. The cloned novel VEB β-lactamases possessed an extended-spectrum β-lactamase phenotype and were inhibited by avibactam in a concentration-dependent manner. The residues that comprised the avibactam binding pocket were either identical or functionally conserved. These data demonstrate that avibactam can inhibit VEB β-lactamases.

ABSTRACTAnEnterobacter cloacaeisolate was recovered from a rectal swab from a patient hospitalized in France with previous travel to Switzerland. It was resistant to penicillins, narrow- and broad-spectrum cephalosporins, aztreonam, and carbapenems but remained susceptible to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. Whereas PCR-based identification of the most common carbapenemase genes failed, the biochemical Carba NP test II identified an Ambler class A carbapenemase. Cloning experiments followed by sequencing identified a gene encoding a totally novel class A carbapenemase, FRI-1, sharing 51 to 55% amino acid sequence identity with the closest carbapenemase sequences. However, it shared conserved residues as a source of carbapenemase activity. Purified β-lactamase FRI-1 hydrolyzed penicillins, aztreonam, and carbapenems but spared expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of clavulanic acid and tazobactam were 10-fold higher than those found forKlebsiella pneumoniaecarbapenemase (KPC), IMI, and SME, leading to lower sensitivity of FRI-1 activity to β-lactamase inhibitors. TheblaFRI-1gene was located on a ca. 110-kb untypeable, transferable, and non-self-conjugative plasmid. A putative LysR family regulator-encoding gene at the 5′ end of the β-lactamase gene was identified, leading to inducible expression of theblaFRI-1gene.

ABSTRACTWe report the complete nucleotide sequence of a plasmid, pA31-12, carryingblaCTX-M-55andmcr-1from a chickenEscherichia coliisolate. pA31-12 has an IncI2 replicon that displays extensive sequence similarity with pHN1122-1-borneblaCTX-M-55and pHNSHP45-bornemcr-1. Insertion sequences ISEcp1and ISApl1are responsible for the mobilization ofblaCTX-M-55andmcr-1, respectively. The colocalization ofmcr-1with an extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene on a conjugative plasmid may accelerate the dissemination of both genes by coselection.

ABSTRACTHere, we present the full sequences of threemcr-1-carrying plasmids isolated from extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producingEscherichia coli. The plasmids belong to three different replicon types and are 34,640 bp, 209,401 bp, and 247,885 bp in size. We describe for the first time a composite transposon containingmcr-1localized on a multidrug-resistant (MDR) IncHI2 plasmid harboring additional determinants of resistance to six different classes of antibiotics, including the ESBL geneblaCTX-M-1, and heavy metal resistance.
