Genetic basis of antimicrobial resistance, virulence features and phylogenomics of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates.
Purpose: The worldwide emergence and clonal spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is of great concern. In the present study, we determined the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, virulence gene repertoire and genomic relatedness of CRAB isolates circulating in Serbian hospitals.
Methods: CRAB isolates were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for the presence of antimicrobial resistance-encoding genes, virulence factors-encoding genes, mobile genetic elements and genomic relatedness. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods.
Results: Eleven isolates exhibited an MDR resistance phenotype, while four of them were XDR. MIC90 for meropenem and imipenem were > 64 µg/mL and 32 µg/mL, respectively. While all CRABs harbored blaOXA-66 variant of blaOXA-51 gene, those assigned to STPas2, STPas636 and STPas492 had blaADC-73,blaADC-74 and blaADC-30 variants, respectively. The following acquired carbapenemases-encoding genes were found: blaOXA-72 (n = 12), blaOXA-23 (n = 3), and blaNDM-1(n = 5), and were mapped to defined mobile genetic elements. MLST analysis assigned the analyzed CRAB isolates to three Pasteur sequence types (STs): STPas2, STPas492, and STPas636. The Majority of strains belonged to International Clone II (ICII) and carried tested virulence-related genes liable for adherence, biofilm formation, iron uptake, heme biosynthesis, zinc utilization, serum resistance, stress adaptation, intracellular survival and toxin activity.
Conclusion: WGS elucidated the resistance and virulence profiles of CRABs isolated from clinical samples in Serbian hospitals and genomic relatedness of CRAB isolates from Serbia and globally distributed CRABs.
期刊介绍:
Infection is a journal dedicated to serving as a global forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to engage readers and contributors from various regions around the world in the exchange of knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, both in outpatient and inpatient settings.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including:
Etiology: The study of the causes of infectious diseases.
Pathogenesis: The process by which an infectious agent causes disease.
Diagnosis: The methods and techniques used to identify infectious diseases.
Treatment: The medical interventions and strategies employed to treat infectious diseases.
Public Health: Issues of local, regional, or international significance related to infectious diseases, including prevention, control, and management strategies.
Hospital Epidemiology: The study of the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare settings and the measures to prevent nosocomial infections.
In addition to these, Infection also includes a specialized "Images" section, which focuses on high-quality visual content, such as images, photographs, and microscopic slides, accompanied by brief abstracts. This section is designed to highlight the clinical and diagnostic value of visual aids in the field of infectious diseases, as many conditions present with characteristic clinical signs that can be diagnosed through inspection, and imaging and microscopy are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The journal's comprehensive approach ensures that it remains a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of infectious diseases.
