BACKGROUND: Patients colonized with multiple species of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are increasingly observed. This phenomenon can be due to the high local prevalence of these pathogens, the presence of important host risk factors, and the great genetic promiscuity of some carbapenemase genes.
METHODS: We analyzed 4 CPE (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Providencia stuartii, Citrobacter sedlakii), 1 extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant K. pneumoniae (ESC-R-Kp), and 1 carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii simultaneously isolated from a patient transferred from Macedonia. Susceptibility tests were performed using a microdilution MIC system. The complete genome sequences were obtained by using both short-read and long-read whole-genome sequencing technologies.
RESULTS: All CPE presented high-level resistance to all aminoglycosides due to the expression of the armA 16S rRNA methylase. In C. sedlakii and E. coli (ST69), both the carbapenemase bla NDM-1 and armA genes were located on an identical IncC plasmid of type 1a. The K. pneumoniae (ST268) and P. stuartii carried chromosomal bla NDM-1 and bla OXA-48, respectively, while the ESC-R-Kp (ST395) harbored a plasmid-located bla CTX-M-15. In the latter 3 isolates, armA-harboring IncC plasmids similar to plasmids found in C. sedlakii and E. coli were also detected. The A. baumannii strain possessed the bla OXA-40 carbapenemase gene.
CONCLUSIONS: The characterization of the genetic organization of IncC-type plasmids harbored by 3 different species from the same patient offered insights into the evolution of these broad-host-range plasmids. Moreover, we characterized here the first complete genome sequence of a carbapenemase-producing C. sedlakii strain, providing a reference for future studies on this rarely reported species.
