Abstract

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) increases the difficulty of clinical treatment of giant pandas. This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), virulence genes, and molecular epidemiology of CRKP strains isolated from giant pandas. A total of 187 nonduplicated Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) isolates were collected from fresh feces of captive giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Then CRKP were isolated and identified through carbapenase Carba NP assay. Subsequently, the antimicrobial susceptibility testing and antibiotic resistance genes of CRKP isolates were studied by disk diffusion (K-B) and HT-qPCR, respectively. Then both the MGEs and virulence genes of CRKP isolates were analyzed by PCR. In addition, molecular epidemiology was analyzed among the CRKP strains using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST).

Results: Eight strains of CRKP (4.5%) were isolated and identified among the 187 KP strains, and seven of eight CRKP strains both exhibited resistance to imipenem, while one strain showed resistance to meropenem, and one demonstrated multiple resistance; eight CRKP strains carried a large amount of ARGs, among which ampC/blaDHA, blaSHV-01, blaSHV-02, tetB-01, tetB-02, tetC-01, and tetC-02 were the most abundant. The MGEs analysis revealed the presence of intI1 in all strains, while the detection rates of other MGEs varied, and strain 24 exhibited the highest diversity of MGE species. Seven virulence genes, including wabG, uge, ycf, entB, kpn, alls, and wcaG, showed positive results with different proportions across the strains. In addition, PFGE patterns indicated a high level of genetic diversity among the CRKP strains. MLST analysis classified the strains into different sequence types (STs).

Conclusions: This study highlighted the diversity of CRKP strains isolated from giant panda feces, which exhibited varying levels of antibiotic resistance along with multiple ARGs, MGEs and virulence genes present. These findings emphasized the importance of monitoring and researching antibiotic resistance within wildlife populations to protect the health status of these conservation dependent animals.

圈养大熊猫耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌的耐药性、毒力基因及分子流行病学研究
背景:耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌(CRKP)增加了大熊猫临床治疗的难度。本研究旨在研究大熊猫CRKP分离株的抗生素敏感性、抗生素耐药基因(ARGs)、移动遗传元件(MGEs)、毒力基因及分子流行病学。从成都大熊猫繁育研究基地圈养大熊猫新鲜粪便中共分离到187株非重复肺炎克雷伯菌(KP)。然后通过碳青霉烯酶Carba NP法分离鉴定CRKP。随后,分别采用圆盘扩散法(K-B)和HT-qPCR对CRKP分离株进行了药敏试验和耐药基因研究。采用PCR方法对分离株的MGEs和毒力基因进行分析。此外,采用脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)和多位点序列分型(MLST)对CRKP菌株进行分子流行病学分析。结果:从187株KP中分离鉴定出8株CRKP(4.5%),其中7株对亚胺培南均耐药,1株对美罗培南耐药,1株多重耐药;8株CRKP菌株携带大量ARGs,其中ampC/blaDHA、blaSHV-01、blaSHV-02、tetB-01、tetB-02、tetC-01和tetC-02含量最多。MGEs分析显示,所有菌株均存在intI1,而其他菌株的MGEs检出率不同,菌株24的MGE物种多样性最高。wabG、uge、ycf、entB、kpn、all、wcaG等7个毒力基因呈阳性,阳性比例不同。此外,PFGE图谱表明,CRKP菌株之间具有高度的遗传多样性。MLST分析将菌株划分为不同的序列类型(STs)。结论:本研究突出了大熊猫粪便中分离的CRKP菌株的多样性,这些菌株表现出不同程度的抗生素耐药性,并存在多种ARGs、MGEs和毒力基因。这些发现强调了监测和研究野生动物种群中的抗生素耐药性对于保护这些依赖保护的动物的健康状况的重要性。
