Abstract

The emergence of high-risk clones of priority pathogens exhibiting convergence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence is a critical issue worldwide. In a previous study, an extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from a chronically colonized pediatric patient with cystic fibrosis (CF). In this study, we analyzed genomic data of this strain (CF023-Psa42), extracting clinically and epidemiologically relevant information (i.e., the antimicrobial resistome, virulome, and sequence type). In this regard, we report the emergence of GES-19 (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase)-producing P. aeruginosa with genotype exoU+. The CF023-Psa42 strain exhibited a broad resistome, belonging to the international high-risk clone sequence type ST235. The bla(GES-19) gene was located on a class 1 integron, along to aac(6')-33, aac(60)-Ib-cr, bla(OXA-2), aadA1, sul1, and qacE Delta 1 resistance genes. Relevant virulence genes such as lasA (proteolysis and elastolysis), toxA (exotoxin A), alg (alginate biosynthesis operon), and exoU (toxin of type III secretion systems) were predicted. Our findings reveal the convergence of broad resistome and virulome in P. aeruginosa ST235. Genomic surveillance is essential to monitor the emergence and dissemination of priority pathogens with epidemiological success. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (AU)
