This study aimed to analyze three ESBL-producing E. coli co-harboring mcr and ESBL genes from a healthy fattening pig (E. 431) and two sick pigs (ECP.81 and ECP.82) in Thailand using Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) using either Illumina MiSeq or HiSeq PE150 platforms to determine their genome and transmissible plasmids. E. 431 carrying mcr-2.1 and mcr-3.1 belonged to serotype O142:H31 with ST29 sequence type. ECP.81 and ECP.82 from sick pigs harboring mcr-1.1 and mcr-3.1 were serotype O9:H9 with ST10. Two mcr-1.1 gene cassettes from ECP.81 and ECP.82 were located on IncI2 plasmid with 98% identity to plasmid pHNSHP45. The mcr-2.1-carrying contig in E. 431 showed 100% identity to plasmid pKP37-BE with the upstream flanking sequence of IS1595. All three mcr-3.1-carrying contigs contained the ΔTnAs2-mcr-3.1-dgkA core segment and had high nucleotide similarity (85–100%) to mcr-3.1-carrying plasmid, pWJ1. The mobile elements i.e. IS4321, ΔTnAs2, ISKpn40 and IS3 were identified in the flanking regions of mcr-3. Several genes conferring resistance to aminoglycosides (aac(3)-IIa, aadA1, aadA2b, aph(3’’)-Ib, aph(3’)-IIa and aph(6)-Id), macrolides (mdf(A)), phenicols (cmlA1), sulphonamide (sul3) and tetracycline (tet(A) and tet(M)) were located on plasmids, of which their presence was well corresponded to the host’s resistance phenotype. Amino acid substitutions S83L and D87G in GyrA and S80I and E62K in ParC were observed. The blaCTX-M-14 and blaCTX-M-55 genes were identified among these isolates additionally harbored blaTEM-1B. Co-transfer of mcr-1.1/blaTEM-1B and mcr-3.1/blaCTX-M-55 was observed in ECP.81 and ECP.82 but not located on the same plasmid. The results highlighted that application of advanced innovation technology of WGS in AMR monitoring and surveillance provide comprehensive information of AMR genotype that could yield invaluable benefits to development of control and prevention strategic actions plan for AMR.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a common cause of surgical site infections (SSIs) globally. Data on the occurrence of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) as well as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) among patients with surgical site infections (SSIs) in sub-Saharan African are scarce. We characterized S. aureus from SSIs in Ghana using molecular methods and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Wound swabs or aspirate samples were collected from subjects with SSIs. S. aureus was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS); AST was performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion, and results were interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. Detection of spa, mecA, and pvl genes was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was done using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Samples were collected from 112 subjects, with 13 S. aureus isolates recovered. Of these, 92% were sensitive to co-trimoxazole, 77% to clindamycin, and 54% to erythromycin. Multi-drug resistance was detected in 5 (38%) isolates. The four mecA gene-positive MRSA isolates detected belonged to ST152 (n = 3) and ST5 (n = 1). In total, 62% of the isolates were positive for the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (pvl) toxin gene. This study reports, for the first time, a pvl-positive ST152-t355 MRSA clone from SSIs in Ghana. The occurrence of multi-drug-resistant S. aureus epidemic clones suggests that continuous surveillance is required to monitor the spread and resistance trends of S. aureus in hospital settings in the country.

ABSTRACT Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 16 isolates of the carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter cloacae complex to determine the flanking regions of bla IMI-type genes. Phylogenetic analysis of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) targets separated the isolates into 4 clusters. The bla IMI-type genes were all found on Xer-dependent integrative mobile elements (IMEX). The IMEX elements of 5 isolates were similar to those described in Canada, while the remainder were novel. Five isolates had IMEX elements lacking a resolvase and recombinase.

AbstractThe recent global emergence and re-emergence of arboviruses has caused significant human disease. Common vectors, symptoms and geographical distribution make differential diagnosis both important and challenging. We performed metagenomic sequencing using both the Illumina MiSeq and the portable Oxford Nanopore MinION to study the feasibility of whole genome sequencing from clinical samples containing chikungunya or dengue virus, two of the most important arboviruses. Direct metagenomic sequencing of nucleic acid extracts from serum and plasma without viral enrichment allowed for virus and coinfection identification, subtype determination and in the majority of cases elucidated complete or near-complete genomes adequate for phylogenetic analysis. This work demonstrates that metagenomic whole genome sequencing is feasible for over 90% and 80% of chikungunya and dengue virus PCR-positive patient samples respectively. It confirms the feasibility of field metagenomic sequencing for these and likely other RNA viruses, highlighting the applicability of this approach to front-line public health.

AbstractRoutine full characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is culture-based, taking many weeks. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can generate antibiotic susceptibility profiles to inform treatment, augmented with strain information for global surveillance; such data could be transformative if provided at or near point of care.We demonstrate a low-cost DNA extraction method for TB WGS direct from patient samples. We initially evaluated the method using the Illumina MiSeq sequencer (40 smear-positive respiratory samples, obtained after routine clinical testing, and 27 matched liquid cultures). M. tuberculosis was identified in all 39 samples from which DNA was successfully extracted. Sufficient data for antibiotic susceptibility prediction was obtained from 24 (62%) samples; all results were concordant with reference laboratory phenotypes. Phylogenetic placement was concordant between direct and cultured samples. Using an Illumina MiSeq/MiniSeq the workflow from patient sample to results can be completed in 44/16 hours at a cost of £96/£198 per sample.We then employed a non-specific PCR-based library preparation method for sequencing on an Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequencer. We applied this to cultured Mycobacterium bovis BCG strain (BCG), and to combined culture-negative sputum DNA and BCG DNA. For the latest flowcell, the estimated turnaround time from patient to identification of BCG was 6 hours, with full susceptibility and surveillance results 2 hours later. Antibiotic susceptibility predictions were fully concordant. A critical advantage of the MinION is the ability to continue sequencing until sufficient coverage is obtained, providing a potential solution to the problem of variable amounts of M. tuberculosis in direct samples.
