What is worse, the recent observations of the co-existence of mcr-1 with other antimicrobial resistance genes in some bacteria cause further concern. Here, we present the first report of a wild Escherichia coli strain that co-carries an mcr-1 encoding phage-like IncY plasmid (pR15_MCR-1) and a blaNDM-5 encoding IncX3 plasmid (pR15_NDM-5) from a pharmaceutical industry, wastewater treatment plant, in China. This study highlights the spreading of E. coli carrying both mcr-1 and blaNDM-5 genes in the pharmaceutical industry.Importance: Escherichia coli strains that carry both mcr-1 and blaNDM-5 genes are of great health concern and are already found in humans and animals worldwide, yet there is a paucity of observations of this resistant strain in the environment. Here we present the first isolation of an E. coli strain (R15) that co-carries mcr-1 and blaNDM-5 genes from a wastewater treatment plant in China. Whole-genome sequencing indicated that R15 harbored two plasmids, pR15_MCR-1 and pR15_NDM-5, that carry mcr-1 and blaNDM-5, respectively. The observation of this wild-derived E. coli strain that carries mcr-1 and blaNDM-5 genes simultaneously calls for the urgency to improve monitoring and reducing its further spreading.Keywords: mcr-1, blaNDM-5, wastewater treatment plant, Escherichia coli

Whole-genome sequencing of strain R17 revealed a new sequence type (ST412) chromosome (length 5,124,258 bp) and an Inc FII (Yp) group plasmid pCFR17_1 (length 206,820 bp). A total of 13 antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) that confer resistance to eight different antibiotic groups were encoded by strain R17 and 12 of them were carried by plasmid pCFR17_1. These data and analysis suggest that the environment-derived C. freundii strains may serve as potential sources of ARGs and highlight the need of further surveillance of this bacteria in the future.Keywords: Citrobacter freundii, multidrug resistant, antibiotic-resistance genes, whole-genome sequencing, wastewater treatment plant, insertion elements

- Abstract
Background: To explore the plasmid characteristics and transfer mechanisms of an extensive drug resistant (XDR) clinical isolate, Citrobacter portucalensis L2724hy, co-producing bla
SFO-1 , blaNDM-1 , and blaKPC-2 ., Methods: Species confirmation of L2724hy was achieved through 16S rRNA sequencing and Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) employed the agar dilution and micro broth dilution methods. Identification of resistance genes was carried out by PCR and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Essential resistance gene locations were verified by S1 nuclease pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (S1-PFGE) and southern hybridization experiments. Subsequent WGS data analysis delved into drug resistance genes and plasmids., Results: The confirmation of the strain L2724hy as an extensive drug-resistant Citrobacter portucalensis, resistant to almost all antibiotics tested except polymyxin B and tigecycline, was achieved through 16S rRNA sequencing, ANI analysis and AST results. WGS and subsequent analysis revealed L2724hy carrying blaSFO-1 , blaNDM-1 , and blaKPC-2 on plasmids of various sizes. The uncommon ESBL gene blaSFO-1 coexists with the fosA3 gene on an IncFII plasmid, featuring the genetic environment IS 26-fosA3 -IS 26-ampR-blaSFO-1 -IS 26 . The blaNDM-1 was found on an IncX3 plasmid, coexisting with blaSHV-12 , displaying the sequence IS 5 -IS 3000 -IS 3000 -Tn 2-blaNDM-1 - ble-trpF-dsbD-cutA-gros-groL , lacking IS Aa125 . The blaKPC-2 is located on an unclassified plasmid, exhibiting the sequence Tn 2-tnpR -IS Kpn27-blaKPC-2 -IS Kpn6-korC . Conjugation assays confirmed the transferability of both blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 ., Conclusion: We discovered the coexistence of blaSFO-1 , blaNDM-1 , and blaKPC-2 in C. portucalensis for the first time, delving into plasmid characteristics and transfer mechanisms. Our finding highlights the importance of vigilant monitoring of drug-resistance genes and insertion elements in uncommon strains., Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work., (© 2024 Guo et al.)- Published
