of clinical origin(2024) ;Stephanie L. Egge ;Samie A. Rizvi ;Shelby R. Simar; JOSE RODRIGO WALDEMAR MARTINEZ SOLIS<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title/> <jats:p> The siderophore-cephalosporin cefiderocol (FDC) presents a promising treatment option for carbapenem-resistant (CR) <jats:italic>P. aeruginosa</jats:italic> (PA). FDC circumvents traditional porin and efflux-mediated resistance by utilizing TonB-dependent receptors (TBDRs) to access the periplasmic space. Emerging FDC resistance has been associated with loss of function mutations within TBDR genes or the regulatory genes controlling TBDR expression. Further, difficulties with antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and unexpected negative clinical treatment outcomes have prompted concerns for heteroresistance, where a single lineage isolate contains resistant subpopulations not detectable by standard AST. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of TBDR mutations among clinical isolates of <jats:italic>P. aeruginosa</jats:italic> and the phenotypic effect on FDC susceptibility and heteroresistance. We evaluated the sequence of <jats:italic>pirR</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>pirS</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>pirA</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>piuA</jats:italic> , or <jats:italic>piuD</jats:italic> from 498 unique isolates collected before the introduction of FDC from four clinical sites in Portland, OR (1), Houston, TX (2), and Santiago, Chile (1). At some clinical sites, TBDR mutations were seen in up to 25% of isolates, and insertion, deletion, or frameshift mutations were predicted to impair protein function were seen in 3% of all isolates ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 15). Using population analysis profile testing, we found that <jats:italic>P. aeruginosa</jats:italic> with major TBDR mutations were enriched for a heteroresistant phenotype and undergo a shift in the susceptibility distribution of the population as compared to susceptible strains with wild-type TBDR genes. Our results indicate that mutations in TBDR genes predate the clinical introduction of FDC, and these mutations may predispose to the emergence of FDC resistance. </jats:p> </jats:sec>Scopus© Citations 18 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for Enterococci(2022) ;Ayesha Khan ;William R. Miller ;Dierdre Axell-House; Cesar A. Arias<jats:p>Enterococci are major, recalcitrant nosocomial pathogens with a wide repertoire of intrinsic and acquired resistance determinants and the potential of developing resistance to all clinically available antimicrobials. As such, multidrug-resistant enterococci are considered a serious public health threat.</jats:p>1Scopus© Citations 57 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Genomic Epidemiology of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) in Latin America: Revisiting The Global VRE Population Structure(2020) ;Rafael Rios ;Jinnethe Reyes ;Lina P. Carvajal ;Sandra RinconDiana Panesso<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Little is known about the population structure of vancomycin-resistant <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecium</jats:italic> (VR<jats:italic>Efm</jats:italic>) in Latin America (LATAM). Here, we provide a complete genomic characterization of 55 representative Latin American VR<jats:italic>Efm</jats:italic> recovered from 1998–2015 in 5 countries. The LATAM VR<jats:italic>Efm</jats:italic> population is structured into two main clinical clades without geographical clustering. Using the LATAM genomes, we reconstructed the global population of VR<jats:italic>Efm</jats:italic> by including 285 genomes from 36 countries spanning from 1946 to 2017. In contrast to previous studies, our results show an early branching of animal related isolates and a further split of clinical isolates into two sub-clades within clade A. The overall phylogenomic structure of clade A was highly dependent on recombination (54% of the genome) and the split between clades A and B was estimated to have occurred more than 2,765 years ago. Furthermore, our molecular clock calculations suggest the branching of animal isolates and clinical clades occurred ~502 years ago whereas the split within the clinical clade occurred ~302 years ago (previous studies showed a more recent split between clinical an animal branches around ~74 years ago). By including isolates from Latin America, we present novel insights into the population structure of VR<jats:italic>Efm</jats:italic> and revisit the evolution of these pathogens.</jats:p>1Scopus© Citations 47 1
