OBJECTIVES: To investigate the genetic context and transferability of the oxazolidinone resistance gene optrA in a Streptococcus parasuis isolate.

METHODS: The optrA-carrying S. parasuis isolate SFJ45 was characterized by PCR, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, complete genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The transferability of optrA was verified by conjugation, followed by SmaI-PFGE and Southern blotting.

RESULTS: The S. parasuis isolate SFJ45 was positive for optrA, mef(A), msr(D), erm(B), tetAB(P)', tet(M), aadE, aphA3, catQ, dfrG and mdt(A), conferring an MDR phenotype. The optrA gene was flanked by ISS1N at both termini in the same orientation, representing a novel 8750 bp pseudo-compound transposon, organized as the ISS1N-hth-clb-4hp-optrA-2hp-ISS1N structure. The ISS1N-optrA-carrying transposon was further inserted within an integrative and conjugative element, ICESpsuSFJ45, at 3' end of the fda gene. Conjugative transfer of the ISS1N-optrA-carrying transposon with ICESpsuSFJ45 was observed from S. parasuis to Streptococcus suis at a frequency of (1.01 ± 3.12) × 10-7.

CONCLUSIONS: ISS1N was found to be associated with optrA spreading for the first time. Integration of the ISS1N-optrA transposon within ICESpsuSFJ45 may lead to the co-selection of optrA with other antimicrobial resistance genes, contributing to its horizontal transfer from S. parasuis to clinically more important bacterial pathogens.
