ABSTRACTA clinical isolate ofPseudomonas aeruginosaRP-1 produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) SHV-2a. Its gene was expressed from a composite promoter made of the −35 region derived from the left inverted repeat of IS26and the −10 region from theblaSHV-2apromoter itself. The DNA sequences immediately surroundingblaSHV-2awere homologous to plasmid pMPA2a fromKlebsiella pneumoniaeKpZU-3, while further away and 3′ to theblaSHV-2agene, a sequence corresponding to the left end of Tn1721was detected, thus indicating a likely enterobacterial origin of this ESBL gene.

ABSTRACTPER-1 extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacilli are resistant to oxyimino-cephalosporins. However, theblaPER-1gene has never been reported inKlebsiella pneumoniae. Here, we studied interspecies dissemination of theblaPER-1gene by horizontal transfer of Tn1213amongAcinetobacter baumannii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, andK. pneumoniae.In aK. pneumoniaeclinical isolate, theblaPER-1gene was located on a 150-kbp incompatibility group A/C plasmid.

ABSTRACTAn extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and colistin-resistantKlebsiella pneumoniaeclinical isolate was recovered from a patient who was treated with cefotaxime. This isolate harbored ablaCTX-M-15ESBL gene that was associated with an ISEcp1insertion sequence. Transposition of that tandem occurred within the chromosomalmgrBgene, leading to inactivation of themgrBgene and consequently to acquired resistance to colistin. We showed here a coselection of colistin resistance as a result of a broad-spectrum cephalosporin selective pressure.

A clinical isolate of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae 06-219 with hypermucoviscosity phenotypes obtained from a urine culture of an adult patient was used for whole-genome sequencing. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of this strain, consisting of 53 contigs with an ~5.6-Mb genome size and an average G+C content of 57.36%. The annotation revealed 6,622 coding DNA sequences and 77 tRNA genes.

ABSTRACTThe TEM-107 extended-spectrum β-lactamase detected in aKlebsiella pneumoniaeclinical isolate had a Gly238Ser substitution compared to the TEM-43 β-lactamase. The MIC of ceftazidime was higher (64 μg/ml) than that of cefotaxime (2 μg/ml) for the isolate. Clavulanic acid reduced the MIC of ceftazidime 64-fold.

ABSTRACT TEM-56 produced by a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate is a novel β-lactamase of isoelectric point 6.4 that confers a moderate resistance level to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The amino acid sequence deduced from the corresponding bla gene showed two amino acid replacements with respect to the TEM-2 sequence: Glu-104 to Lys and His-153 to Arg. This enzyme showed catalytic properties close to those of TEM-18. Thus, TEM-56 appears as a new TEM mutant, an intermediary between TEM-18 and the extended-spectrum β-lactamase TEM-21.

ABSTRACT Four ceftazidime-resistant isolates of a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain were collected from intensive care unit patients in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. These isolates had TEM-29 and SHV-14 β-lactamases. SHV-14 is a novel variant, with two substitutions compared with the sequence of SHV-1: Ile8Phe and Arg43Ser. Its gene also had a silent C→T mutation at nucleotide 481. The SHV-14 enzyme had slightly higher V maxrates than SHV-1 for oxyimino-aminothiazolyl cephalosporins, but this activity was insufficient for the enzyme to count as an extended-spectrum β-lactamase.

AbstractRecent reports indicate the emergence of a new carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clone, ST307. Here we show that ST307 emerged in the mid-1990s (nearly 20 years prior to its first report), is already globally distributed and is intimately associated with a conserved plasmid harbouring the blaCTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) gene plus other antimicrobial resistance determinants. Our findings support the need for enhanced surveillance of this widespread ESBL clone in which carbapenem resistance is now emerging.

ABSTRACT Three of seven clonally related Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a burn patient produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) SHV-12. Its gene was flanked by two IS26 elements with a large transposon (>24 kb). The transposon also contained at least five IS26 elements and a gene encoding the amikacin resistance determinant aminoglycoside 6′-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [aac(6′)-Ib]. It was inserted into the gene PA5317 in the P. aeruginosa chromosome.
