摘要:

耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌(carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae,CRKP)的报道逐年增多,替加环素已成为治疗耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌感染的最后一道防线,本研究旨在对3株耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌的替加环素耐药性机制进行初步研究。采用微量肉汤稀释法测定对替加环素的敏感性并评估外排泵抑制剂(PAβN)对耐药性的影响;结合前期全基因组测序结果,采用PCR验证与替加环素耐药相关基因及其调控因子、孔蛋白相关基因的转录[acrAB-tolCoqxABmsbAkexDkdeAkpnEFkpnGHOmpk37、OmpAramAramRmarArarAacrRtet(X4)、tetA],通过实时荧光定量PCR检测耐药菌株和敏感菌株之间的基因转录水平差异。结果显示:体外药敏试验发现3株肺炎克雷伯菌KP30535、KP30845和KP30727分别对替加环素耐药、中介、敏感。外源添加PAβN增加了菌株对替加环素的敏感性。实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,耐药菌株(KP30535)和中介菌株(KP30845)中acrABkpnGHramA转录水平显著(P < 0.05)高于对照菌ATCC13883,KP30535中kpnE转录水平显著(P < 0.01)高于对照菌;KP30727中acrBramAramR转录水平显著(P < 0.05)高于对照菌;3株菌中孔蛋白Ompk37、OmpA转录水平极显著(P < 0.001)低于对照菌。Spearman相关性分析表明,acrABkpnGHkexD和孔蛋白OmpA与菌株替加环素耐药表型相关($|r|$ ≥0.6)。综上,acrABkpnGHkexD和孔蛋白OmpA的差异表达是影响本研究中耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌对替加环素耐药性的重要因素,为后续更深入地研究提供参考依据。

Abstract:

The reports of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are increasing annually, and tigecycline has become the last line of defense for treating carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections, this article presents a preliminary study on the mechanism of tigecycline resistance in three strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Broth microdilution method was used to determine the sensitivity of CRKP to tigecycline and evaluate the effect of efflux pump inhibitor, PAβN, on drug resistance. Combined with the results of the previous whole genome sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing was employed to validate the presence of genes and corresponding regulatory factors, porins (acrAB-tolC, oqxAB, msbA, kexD, kdeA, kpnEF, kpnGH, Ompk37, OmpA, ramA, ramR, marA, rarA, acrR, tet(X4), tetA) associated with tigecycline resistance, and differences in gene expression levels between resistant and sensitive strains were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. In vitro drug susceptibility experiments showed that the three CRKP strains KP30535, KP30845 and KP30727 were resistant, intermediate and sensitive to tigecycline respectively. In vivo addition of PAβN increased the resistance of strain to tigecycline. The results of real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR showed that the transcription levels of acrAB, kpnGH and ramA in resistant strain KP30535 and intermediate strain KP30845 were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of the control strain ATCC13883, and the transcription level of kpnE in KP30535 was extremely higher (P < 0.01). The transcription levels of acrB, ramA and ramR in KP30727 were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than control. The transcription of porins Ompk37 and OmpA in the three strains were markedly lower (P < 0.001) than control. The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that acrAB, kpnGH, kexD and the porin OmpA were associated with the antimicrobial resistance phenotype of the strain to tigecycline ($|r|$ ≥0.6). The preliminary research results indicate that the different expression of acrAB, kpnGH, kexD, and porin OmpA may be important factors affecting the resistance of CRKP to tigecycline in this study, which can provide reference for further in-depth research.
