Molecular Epidemiology of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acquired in a Spanish Intensive Care Unit: Using Diverse Typing Methods to Identify Clonal Types
The increasing number of infections from multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA) has compromised the selection of appropriate treatment in critically ill patients. Recent investigations have shown the existence of MDRPA global clones that have been disseminated in hospitals worldwide. We aimed to...

description | The increasing number of infections from multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA) has compromised the selection of appropriate treatment in critically ill patients. Recent investigations have shown the existence of MDRPA global clones that have been disseminated in hospitals worldwide. We aimed to describe the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of the MDRPA acquired by Intensive Care Units (ICU) patients in our hospital. We used phenotypic methods to define the MDRPA and molecular methods were used to illustrate the presence of carbapenemase encoding genes. To characterize the MDRPA isolates, we used MALDI-TOF biomarker peaks, O-antigen serotyping, and multi-locus sequence typing analyses. Our data show that the most widely distributed MDRPA clone in our ICU unit was the ST175 strain. These isolates were further investigated by the whole-genome sequencing technique to determine the resistome profile and phylogenetic relationships, which showed, as previously described, that the MDR profile was due to the intrinsic resistance mechanisms and not the carbapenemase encoding genes. In addition, this study suggests that the combination of environmental focus and cross-transmission are responsible for the spread of MDRPA clones within our ICU unit. Serotyping and MALDI-TOF analyses are useful tools for the early detection of the most prevalent MDRPA clones in our hospital. Using these methods, semi-directed treatments can be introduced at earlier stages and healthcare professionals can actively search for environmental foci as possible sources of outbreaks. |
