The colony hybridization and tetracycline accumulation techniques made possible to demonstrate the majority of the 29 bacteria of Pseudomonas genera to harbour the plasmids carrying tet determinants belonging to classes A-C, while one strain contained a plasmid carrying tet determinant of class B. For the first time the determinants of classes D and E were found on R plasmids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The determinant of G class was identified on two plasmids identical to pBS221 plasmid described previously.

Introduction: Hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) poses an increasing public health risk due to its high treatment difficulty and associated mortality, especially in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. The emergence of strains with multiple resistance mechanisms further complicates the management of these infections.

Methods: We isolated and characterized a novel ST11-KL64 hv-CRKP strain from a pediatric bone marrow transplantation patient.

Article Synopsis
  • Three species of Yersinia (Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii, and Y. kristensenii), common foodborne pathogens, were analyzed using genomic data to uncover their potential threat, revealing significant genomic diversity and a noteworthy presence in Europe and Asia.
  • Y. intermedia demonstrated a high level of accessory genes, suggesting adaptability and the ability to acquire beneficial traits, while all three species contained various mobile genetic elements including plasmids and insertion sequences.
  • Differences in antibiotic resistance genes and virulence gene composition were noted, with Y. kristensenii being the most virulent, containing the most virulence genes, while Y. frederiksenii showed unique pathogenic mechanisms.

Jiangsu Co-innovation Center for Prevention and Control of Important Animal Infectious Diseases and Zoonoses, College of Veterinary Medicine, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, China.

Tigecycline is a last-resort antibiotic to treat complicated infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens, while the emergence of plasmid-mediated tet(X) family severely compromises its clinical efficacy. Novel antimicrobial strategies not limited to new antibiotics in pharmaceutical pipeline are urgently needed. Herein, we reveal the metabolic disparities between tet(X)-negative and -positive E.
