The World Health Organization (WHO) cites antimicrobial resistance as among the greatest threats to human health. The multidrug-resistant pathogen , recognized as a priority pathogen for healthcare and research, is responsible for a diverse array of infections including respiratory tract, soft tissue and wound, and bloodstream infections. Despite this importance, the mechanisms of its pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Conjugation represents a central mechanism for bacterial adaptation and evolution and is responsible for the spread of genes that promote pathogen survival, antibiotic resistance, virulence, and biofilm formation. Our laboratory recently characterized a large group of almost 120 Type IV Secretion System (T4SS)-encoding plasmids in , distributed globally across 20 countries spanning four continents, and demonstrated that an XDR plasmid from this family was transmissible to another strain. This research investigated the potential diversity of host strains for this representative member plasmid. Using the GC1 lineage strain AB5075-UW harbouring the XDR plasmid p1AB5075 and a series of previously characterized clinical and environmental strains, conjugative analyses demonstrated transfer of the XDR plasmid to both strains of more genetically divergent sequence types and to non- species both inside and outside the (ACB) complex. Successful recipients included diverse strains of both clinical and environmental origin within the genus. Collectively, this research could provide insights into an important genetic element for future surveillance.
世界卫生组织(WHO)将抗菌药物耐药性列为对人类健康的最大威胁之一。这种多重耐药病原体被公认为医疗保健和研究的重点病原体,可导致多种感染,包括呼吸道感染、软组织和伤口感染以及血流感染。尽管其具有重要性,但其发病机制仍知之甚少。接合作用是细菌适应和进化的核心机制,负责促进病原体存活、抗生素耐药性、毒力和生物膜形成的基因传播。我们实验室最近对 中近 120 种编码 IV 型分泌系统(T4SS)的质粒进行了表征,这些质粒分布在全球四大洲的 20 个国家,并证明该家族中的一种广泛耐药质粒可转移至另一种 菌株。本研究调查了这种代表性成员质粒宿主菌株的潜在多样性。使用携带广泛耐药质粒 p1AB5075 的 GC1 谱系菌株 AB5075-UW 和一系列先前表征的临床及环境 菌株,接合分析表明广泛耐药质粒可转移至序列类型差异更大的两种 菌株以及 (ACB)复合体内部和外部的非 物种。成功的受体包括 属内临床和环境来源的多种菌株。总体而言,本研究可为未来监测的重要遗传元件提供见解。
