There is paucity of information on the molecular mechanisms of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa in Nigeria. Knowledge of the genetic basis of resistance of the organism to available antimicrobial agents will further improve empirical treatment. This study was undertaken to genetically characterise the multiple antibiotic resistance determinants in P. aeruginosa and describe the genetic locations of the resistance genes. Antimicrobial susceptibility of 54 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa obtained from 5 hospitals in 3 southwestern states of Nigeria, to 21 antibiotics representing nine classes of antimicrobial agents was determined using the antibiotic disk-diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined by Etest. Plasmid DNA for the isolates were extracted by alkaline lysis while plasmid curing was carried out using acridine orange, ethidium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulphate. The Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) phenotypic detection was carried out using double-disk synergy method. Twenty clinical isolates with resistance to more than three “anti-pseudomonas” drugs were randomly selected for molecular studies. Genetic characterisation of ESBL and other drug resistant genes were achieved by polymerase chain reaction with specifically designed primers and direct sequencing of the amplicons. Significant trends in the association of plasmid counts and antimicrobial resistance among P. aeruginosa strains was achieved using Fisher’s Exact Test. All the strains of P. aeruginosa were found to be resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, while 53.7%, 63.0%, 79.6% and 87.0% were resistant to ceftriaxone, carbenicillin, kanamycin, and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid respectively. Plasmid profile of the 54 isolates revealed the presence of 1-4 resistance plasmids varying in sizes from 2.3 to 210.0 kb. Highest curing activity was achieved with ethidium bromide on 81% of the isolates at 40 µg/mL. The MDR P. aeruginosa strains harboured significantly more plasmids (≥3) compared to their non-MDR counterparts, which carried < 2 plasmids (p<0.01). Out of the 20 isolates randomly selected for molecular studies, 80% harboured blaOXA-10 that were plasmid encoded. Chromosomally encoded AmpC β-lactamase was found in 85%, while blaSHV and blaCTXM-1 were detected in one isolate each. Efflux pump regulators: mexR and nfxB were found in 45%, aac (6′) – I was detected in 50% and ant (2′′) – IV in 45% while both genes coding for aminoglycoside modifying enzymes were harboured vi in 35%. The class 1 integrons harbouring gene cassette array aaA6-orfD and aaA13, were also detected in the chromosomes of the isolates. The presence of resistance plasmids, class 1 integrons, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, aminoglycoside modifying enzymes and efflux pump regulator genes among the population of P. aeruginosa tested indicated a high prevalence of multidrug resistance.

BMC Res Notes (2017) 10:145 DOI 10.1186/s13104-017-2467-2 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Expansion of highly stable blaOXA-10 β-lactamase family within diverse host range among nosocomial isolates of Gram-negative bacilli within a tertiary referral hospital of Northeast India Anand Prakash Maurya1, Debadatta Dhar2, Mridul Kumar Basumatary1, Deepjyoti Paul1, Birson Ingti1, Debarati Choudhury3, Anupam Das Talukdar3, Atanu Chakravarty2, Shweta Mishra4 and Amitabha Bhattacharjee1* Abstract Background: The current study reports dissemination of highly stable blaOXA-10 family of beta lactamases among diverse group of nosocomial isolates of Gram-negative bacilli within a tertiary referral hospital of the northern part of India. Methods: In the current study, a total number of 590 Gram negative isolates were selected for a period of 1 year (i.e. 1st November 2011–31st October 2012). Members of Enterobacteriaceae and non fermenting Gram negative rods were obtained from Silchar Medical College and Hospital, Silchar, India. Screening and molecular characterization of β-lactamase genes was done. Integrase gene PCR was performed for detection and characterization of integrons and cassette PCR was performed for study of the variable regions of integron gene cassettes carrying blaOXA-10. Gene transferability, stability and replicon typing was also carried out. Isolates were typed by ERIC as well as REP PCR. Results: Twenty-four isolates of Gram-negative bacilli that were harboring blaOXA-10 family (OXA-14, and OXA16) with fact that resistance was to the extended cephalosporins. The resistance determinant was located within class I inte- gron in five diverse genetic contexts and horizontally transferable in Enterobacteriaceae, was carried through IncY type plasmid.

  • Analysis of the Novel Lipid Transfer Protein Anchored at Membrane Contact Sites (LAM) Family
    LONDON’S GLOBAL UNIVERSITY Analysis of the novel Lipid transfer protein Anchored at Membrane contact sites (LAM) family A thesis submitted to the University College London in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Dr Tim Levine Department of Cell Biology, Faculty of Brain Science, Institute of Ophthalmology 2017 Declaration I, Louise Wong, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated. June 2017 1 2 Abstract Membrane contact sites are dynamic structures where two organelles come into close proximity to regulate and facilitate the flow of material and information between them. One type of inter-organelle communication is lipid exchange, which is essential for membrane maintenance and in response to environmental and cellular stimuli. We recently discovered a new family of Lipid transfer proteins Anchored at Membrane contact sites (LAMs) that is present in all eukaryotes. LAM proteins are integral Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) proteins containing at least one domain that is structurally similar to the StARkin domain superfamily, a specialised fold that can bind amphipathic ligands such as lipids. The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has six such proteins: Lam1p-6p. Lam1p-4p are located at contacts between the ER and the plasma membrane (PM), and Lam1p-3p are implicated in retrograde sterol traffic between the ER and PM. The PM contains a high concentration of sterol where it increases rigidity by altering the packing characteristics of the phospholipids in the bilayer. Sterol is also important in the ER, where its levels are low but it is both synthesised and sensed.
