Coexistence of blaIMP−4 and blaSFO−1 in an IncHI5B plasmid harbored by tigecycline-non-susceptible Klebsiella variicola strain
Background Klebsiella variicola is considered a newly emerging human pathogen. Clinical isolates of carbapenemase and broad-spectrum β-lactamase-producing K. variicola remain relatively uncommon. A strain of K. variicola 4253 was isolated from a clinical sample, and was identified to carry the blaIMP−4 and blaSFO−1 genes. This study aims to discern its antibiotic resistance phenotype and genomic characteristics. Methods Species identification was conducted using MALDI-TOF/MS. PCR identification confirmed the presence of the blaIMP−4 and blaSFO−1 genes. Antibiotic resistance phenotype and genomic characteristics were detected by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing. Plasmid characterization was carried out through S1-PFGE, conjugation experiments, Southern blot, and comparative genomic analysis. Results K. variicola 4253 belonged to ST347, and demonstrated resistance to broad-spectrum β-lactamase drugs and tigecycline while being insensitive to imipenem and meropenem. The blaIMP−4 and blaSFO−1 genes harbored on the plasmid p4253-imp. The replicon type of p4253-imp was identified as IncHI5B, representing a multidrug-resistant plasmid capable of horizontal transfer and mediating the dissemination of drug resistance. The blaIMP−4 gene was located on the In809-like integrative element (Intl1-blaIMP−4-aacA4-catB3), which circulates in Acinetobacter and Enterobacteriaceae. Conclusions This study reports the presence of a strain of K. variicola, which is insensitive to tigecycline, carrying a plasmid harboring blaIMP−4 and blaSFO−1. It is highly likely that the strain acquired this plasmid through horizontal transfer. The blaIMP−4 array (Intl1-blaIMP−4-aacA4-catB3) is also mobile in Acinetobacter and Enterobacteriaceae. So it is essential to enhance clinical awareness and conduct epidemiological surveillance on multidrug-resistant K. variicola, conjugative plasmids carrying blaIMP−4, and the In809 integrative element..
