The emergence of daptomycin (DAP) resistant Enterococcus species has increased worldwide, but the mechanisms for DAP resistance are not fully understood. We report a case of DAP resistant Enterococcus faecalis, from a clinical sample of a patient with diabetic ulcers, after DAP therapy. Whole-genome sequencing analysis revealed that the isolate had a loss-of-function point mutation within liaX encoding DAP-sensing surface protein, which inhibits the LiaFSR systems and cell membrane remodeling. This is the first case report of a clinical DAP resistant E. faecalis with a mutation in liaX.
达托霉素(DAP)耐药肠球菌在全球范围内的出现有所增加,但DAP耐药机制尚未完全明确。我们报告了1例在接受DAP治疗后,从1例糖尿病溃疡患者的临床样本中分离出的耐DAP粪肠球菌病例。全基因组测序分析显示,该分离株在编码DAP感应表面蛋白的liaX基因内存在功能丧失性点突变,该突变抑制了LiaFSR系统和细胞膜重塑。这是首例关于liaX基因发生突变的临床耐DAP粪肠球菌病例报告。
