广州地区携带blaCTX-M-15流行质粒的分子特征研究

目的 研究广州地区携带blaCTX-M-15质粒的分子特征.方法 以2007年到2008年期间来源于广州9家医院确证产CTX-M-15 ESBL的38株大肠埃希菌和47株肺炎克雷伯菌为研究对象,脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)和多位点序列分型(MLST)法检测blaCTX-M-15阳性株的同源性,MIC法检测菌株对常用抗生素的敏感性.血清凝集试验确定大肠埃希菌血清型.接合试验了解携带blaCTX-M-15质粒的可接合性,限制性内切酶分析质粒的同源性.PCR分析大肠埃希菌的系统发育群,流行质粒的不相容群和耐药基因构成.结果 blaCTX-M-15阳性的大肠埃希菌和肺炎克雷伯菌分别用PFGE确定为28个和30个基因型.携blaCTX-M-15大肠埃希菌的系统发育群以D群(67.8%)和A群(21.4%)为主.大肠埃希菌血清型呈散在分布,未发现O25:H4血清型.大肠埃希菌和肺炎克雷伯菌的ST型无明显集中趋势,大肠埃希菌中发现非O25血清型的ST131,肺炎克雷伯菌中发现2个新的tonB基因和2个新的ST型.58个独立克隆的代表菌株中有40株可将携blaCTX-M-15的质粒传递给受体菌E.coli C600(Rif),其中大肠埃希菌有19株,肺炎克雷伯菌有21株.57.9%(11/19)的大肠埃希菌中携带blaCTX-M-15的质粒大小为65 kb,85.7%(18/21)的肺炎克雷伯菌中携带blaCTX-M-15的质粒大小为92 kb.限制性内切酶分析显示,这2种质粒属流行质粒,分别命名为p15-e和p15-k.通过PCR调查,p15-e存在blaCTX-M-15和ISEcpI;p15-k上存在blaCTX-M-15、ISEcpI、aac(6')-Ⅰ b、aac(3')-Ⅲ、blaOXA-1、qnrB、qnrS、blaDHA-1、blaTEM-1.p15-k同时被证实属于质粒不相容群FⅡ群.结论 广州地区存在携带blaCTX-M-15流行质粒的传播,且流行质粒的大小和基因结构与国外报道不同;无克隆株传播证据.

Abstract：

Objective To study the molecular characteristic of the epidemic plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-15 in Guangzhou. Methods A total of 38 strains of E. coli and 47 strains of K. pneumoniae both producing CTX-M-15 ESBLs were collected from nine hospitals in Guangzhou from 2007 to 2008. The clonal relationship of isolates carrying blaCTX-M-15 was determined by PFGE and MLST. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by microdilution test for all isolates. Conjugative plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-15 were obtained by mating and were subject to restriction analysis. PCR was used to determine phylogenetic groups of E. coli,and to study replicon type and the genetic contexts of the plasmids harboring blaCTX-M-15. Serum agglutination test was used to detect the serotype of E. coli. Results The 37 strains of E. coli were classified into 28 genotypes, while the 47 strains of K. pneumoniae were divided into 30 genotypes. ST131 was found in E. coli but not O25 serotype. Two novel-alleles of tonB and new ST were determined in K. pneumoniae. Forty out of 58 isolates represented independent genotypes have been succeeded to transfer the plasmid carrying blaCTX-M-15 to the E. coli C600(Rif) by conjugation. The sizes of plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-15 are 65 kb in 57.9% isolates of E. coli and 92 kb in 87.5% isolates of K. pneumoniae. Two epidemic plasmids were detected in E.coli and K. pneumoniae by restriction enzyme, designated p15-e and p15-k respectively. The blaCTX-M-15 and ISEcpI were identified on p15-e, and the blaCTX-M-15 ,ISEcpI,aac(6')- Ⅰ b,aac(3')-Ⅲ ,blaOXA-1 ,qnrB,qnrS,blaDHA-1 , blaTEM-1 were determined on p15-k. The p15-k also was identified to belong to the incompatible group FⅡ. Conclusion The local dissemination of blaCTX-M-15 appears to be due to the spread of epidemic plasmids harboring blaCTX-M-15. No evidence supports the dissemination of clone strains which carried blaCTX-M-15.
