Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical infection characteristics and analyze the resistance gene carrying status of carbapenem-resistant Providencia rettgeri via whole genome sequencing (WGS).
Methods: Carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri were collected from clinical patients between January 2020 and December 2021, and their susceptibility to 19 antimicrobial drugs was determined using the VITEK 2 Compact system and Kirby-Bauer (KB) disk diffusion method. The Illumina platform was used to perform WGS of the P. rettgeri isolates, and the resistance genes carried by the Carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains were detected via ABRicate software. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by thirty-four strains including twenty-eight strains downloaded from NCBI database and the carbapenem-resistant six P. rettgeri strains in this study. Which based on genomic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to understand the affinities of the carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains.
Results: Six carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains were isolated from five different clinical departments using the blood, urine, sputum, and secretion specimens. These infected patients are middle-aged and elderly people with a history of severe trauma, tumors, hypertension, and various other underlying diseases, and invasive procedures. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing showed that all strains presented resistance to ampicillin-sulbactam, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and ertapenem, whereas they exhibited full susceptibility to cefepime and amikacin. Most strains demonstrated high resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, and sulfonamides. Thirty-five resistance genes were identified by ABRicate. All carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains carried aminoglycoside, fluoroquinolone, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, sulfonamide, and β-lactam resistance genes, and most importantly, all strains possessed the carbapenem resistance gene bla. The six P. rettgeri strains in this study and the 28 carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains from the NCBI database were divided into four evolutionary groups. The WF3643, WF3849, WF3822, and WF3821 strains in this study were in the same evolutionary group (clade A), while the closely related WF3099 and WF3279 strains were in different evolutionary groups (clade B and clade D), respectively. The WF3099 strain was distantly related to the other five strains.
Conclusion: Carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains were mostly isolated from middle-aged and older patients with a history of surgery or serious underlying diseases, and they were found to cause multisystem infections. All Carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri strains in this study carried bla and multiple antimicrobial drug resistance genes. Furthermore, the P. rettgeri strains in this study were closely related, suggesting the possibility of nosocomial infections. Therefore, our study highlights the need for research on P. rettgeri to control the spread of these nosocomial infections.
