Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Shigella sonnei ST152, global lineage III, is a high-risk clone, whose dissemination has limited therapeutic options for shigellosis. This study aimed to characterize two isolates of S. sonnei, which were recovered in Lima, Peru, during November 2019, exhibiting resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and quinolones, and concurrently harboring blaCTX-M-15 and qnrS1 genes, in addition to mutations in gyrA-S83L. These isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. The molecular analysis showed that both isolates belonged to lineage III, sublineages IIIa and IIIb. The blaCTX-M-15 gene was located in the same genetic platform as qnrS1, flanked upstream by ISKpn19, on a conjugative plasmid belonging to the IncI-γ group. To the best of our knowledge, this would be the first report on S. sonnei isolates carrying the blaCTX-M-15 gene in Peru. The global dissemination of S. sonnei ST152, co-resistant to β-lactams and quinolones, could lead to a worrisome scenario in the event of potential acquisition of genetic resistance mechanisms to azithromycin.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
