First Genomic Characterization of <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9-</i>Coharbouring <i>Enterobacter</i> <i>hormaechei</i> Isolated from Food of Animal Origin

We describe here the complete genome sequence of an <i>Enterobacter hormaechei</i> ST279 coharbouring <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9</i> recovered from uncooked beef patty in June 2017, Egypt. The tested isolate was resistant to carbapenem but...

description We describe here the complete genome sequence of an <i>Enterobacter hormaechei</i> ST279 coharbouring <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9</i> recovered from uncooked beef patty in June 2017, Egypt. The tested isolate was resistant to carbapenem but susceptible to colistin (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), 0.5 μg/mL). The antimicrobial susceptibility profile and conjugation experiments were performed. The entire genome was sequenced by the Illumina MiniSeq and Oxford Nanopore methods. The <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9</i> genes are carried on the same IncHI2/pMLST1 plasmid, pMS37a (Size of 270.9 kb). The <i>mcr-9</i> gene was located within the physical boundaries demarcated by two insertion elements IS<i>903</i> (upstream) and IS<i>1</i> (downstream) but did not possess the downstream regulatory genes (<i>qseC</i>/<i>qseB</i>) which regulate the expression of <i>mcr-9</i>. Therefore, the <i>mcr-9</i> might be silently disseminated among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. In addition to <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9</i>, plasmid pMS37a harbored various antibiotic resistance genes including <i>aac(6’)-Il</i>, Δ<i>aadA22</i>, <i>aac(6’)-Ib-cr</i>, <i>sul1</i>, <i>dfrA1 and tetA.</i> To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9</i>-coharbouring <i>E. hormaechei</i> isolate of food origin worldwide. The identification of a multidrug-resistant VIM-1 and <i>mcr-9</i> positive <i>Enterobacter hormaechei</i> isolate from food is worrisome as retail meat and meat products could serve as a vehicle for these MDR bacteria, which could be transferred between animals and humans through the food chain. It further highlights that Enterobacterales co-producing MCR and carbapenemases being found in the food chain indeed correspond to a One-Health issue, highlighting the need for serious steps to prevent their further dissemination.
