 Highlights 
A ST15 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate co-harboring mcr-1.1, mcr-8.1 and ESBLs was first detected in laying hens. 
The pNXQY01-5 harbored the blaCTX-M-55 and mcr-1.1 genes linked to insertion sequences ISEc9 and ISApl1.
The pNXQY01-2, pNXQY01-3, and pNXQY01-5 facilitated the horizontal transfer of resistance genes mcr-8.1, blaCTX-M-65, mcr-1.1 and blaCTX-M-55.

摘要  

多粘菌素是治疗耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌感染的最后一道防线,MCR的可移动性传播将对肺炎克雷伯菌感染的治疗造成巨大威胁。在对宁夏某地方保种品种蛋鸡病原菌的耐药性检测中发现一株多粘菌素耐药且产超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBLs)的多药耐药肺炎克雷伯菌,命名为K. pn NXQY01。为探究K. pn NXQY01β-内酰胺类抗生素与多粘菌素耐药性传播风险,对K. pn NXQY01进行全基因组测序与生物信息学分析,探究MCR耐药基因在质粒中的水平传播机制,并通过质粒结合转移验证其水平转移。全基因组测序分析显示,K. pn NXQY01属于ST15型,携带6个质粒,pNXQY01-1227,409 bp)、pNXQY01-2110,028 bp)、pNXQY01-371,848 bp)、pNXQY01-471,087 bp)、pNXQY01-566,252 bp)和pNXQY01-78,159 bp),质粒携带了K. pn NXQY0190%的耐药基因。更重要的是,质粒同时携带了mcr-1.1, mcr-8.1, blaCTX-M-55, blaCTX-M-65耐药基因,具有极大的潜在水平传播风险。质粒序列分析显示,pNXQY01-2可能由质粒pKP4pPK45_NDM1重组形成。pNXQY01-2携带mcr-8.1,并可能同时携带了编码AmpC β-内酰胺酶的ampC1ampC2基因。mcr-8.1侧翼序列分析表明其与IS903B元件形成的复合转座子有关。pNXQY01-5pHNSHP45具有高度相似性,携带mcr-1.1blaCTX-M-55pNXQY01-5中耐药基因mcr-1.1blaCTX-M-55可能是通过外源DNA序列插入获得,与插入序列ISApl1ISEc9有关。oriTfinder分析显示,pNXQY01-2pNXQY01-3pNXQY01-5具有完整的结合转移模块,显示水平转移风险。结合转移试验表明,mcr-1.1mcr-8.1blaCTX-M-55blaCTX-M-65可能通过pNXQY01-2pNXQY01-3pNXQY01-5发生了水平转移,同时接合子对β-内酰胺类抗生素、多粘菌素B和庆大霉素的药物敏感性均升高至与K. pn NXQY01相当。本研究首次报告了mcr-8.1mcr-1.1同时存在于ESBLs的多药耐药肺炎克雷伯菌分离株的质粒,标志着质粒介导新抗生素耐药性特征。
