BACKGROUND: Recent emergence of high-level tigecycline resistance is mediated by tet(X) genes in Gram-negative bacteria, which undoubtedly constitutes a serious threat for public health worldwide. This study aims to identify tigecycline non-susceptible isolates and detect the presence of genes that are responsible for tigecycline resistance among local isolates in Iraq for the first time.
METHODS: Thirteen clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumonia, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa tigecycline non-susceptible were investigated from blood, sputum and burns specimens. The susceptibility of different antibiotics was tested by the VITEK-2 system. To detect tigecycline resistance genes, PCR was employed.
RESULTS: Strains studied in this work were extremely drug-resistant and they were resistant to most antibiotic classes that were studied. The plasmid-encoded tet(X), tet(X1), tet(X2), tet(X3), tet(X4), tet(X5), tet(M) and tet(O) genes were not detected in the 13 isolates. The results showed that there is a clear presence of tet(A) and tet(B) genes in tigecycline non-susceptible isolates. All 13 (100%) tigecycline non-susceptible K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa isolates harbored the tet(B) gene. In contrast, 4 (30.77%) tigecycline non-susceptible P. aeruginosa isolates harbored the tet(A) gene and there was no tigecycline non-susceptible A. baumannii isolate harboring the tet(A) gene (0%), but one (7.69%) tigecycline non-susceptible K. pneumoniae isolate harbored the tet(A) gene. A phylogenetic tree, which is based on the nucleotide sequences of the tet(A) gene, showed that the sequence of the local isolate was 87% similar to the nucleotide sequences for all the isolates used for comparison from GenBank and the local isolate displayed genetic diversity.
CONCLUSIONS: According to this study, tet(B) and tet(A) play an important role in the appearance of tigecycline non-susceptible Gram-negative isolates.
