2175. Emergence of Dual-Carbapenemase Producing Enterobacterales in Chile After the COVID-19 Pandemic

BACKGROUND: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a major public health threat, largely due to the presence of carbapenemases, which are globally disseminated in mobile genetic elements. The emergence of CRE carrying multiple carbapenemases has been reported in several countries, particula...

description BACKGROUND: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a major public health threat, largely due to the presence of carbapenemases, which are globally disseminated in mobile genetic elements. The emergence of CRE carrying multiple carbapenemases has been reported in several countries, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we report the emergence of dual-producing CRE (DP-CRE) in Chile and provide a phenotipic and genomic characterization using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). METHODS: We evaluated the presence of carbapenemase in a total of 1367 CRE isolates recovered from invasive infections in 11 healthcare centers since 2018. Among them, 9 DP-CRE were detected and included in this report. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods (CLSI, 2023), while bla(KPC), bla(VIM), bla(IMP) and bla(NDM) genes were detected by PCR. WGS was carried out using short and long reads (Illumina and Oxford Nanopore) and hybrid assemblies were performed. RESULTS: All 9 DP-CRE identified were recovered between November 2021 and June 2022 from 3 healthcare centers of a single city. In terms of species, 6 were identified as E. coli, one isolate of K. pneumoniae, one K. oxytoca and one C. freundii. All DP-CRE identified carried the combination of bla(KPC) and bla(NDM). Genomic analyses confirmed all but one isolate carried bla(KPC-2) and bla(NDM-7). The remaining genome belonged to a K. pneumoniae that harboured bla(KPC-3) and bla(NDM-7). All 9 isolates exhibited resistance to all β-lactams, including carbapenems, aztreonam (ATM), cephalosporins and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibators. Cefiderocol (FDC) was the only compound active against all the isolates. Also, all the DP-CRE became susceptible to ATM when combined with ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA). Hybrid assemblies revealed that bla(KPC) and bla(NDM) were harboured on independent plasmids (∼58,900 bp and ∼41,100 bp, respectively) as shown in Figure 1. [Figure: see text] CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the emergence of DP-CRE in Chile after COVID-19 pandemic. Our results highlight the relevance of active surveillance of multidrug-resistance pathogens. FDC and CZA/ATM were the only compounds that remained active in vitro against these pathogens.
