• W2766889224 abstract "Abstract Burkholderia pseudomallei , the causative agent of the high-mortality disease melioidosis, is a Gram-negative bacterium that is naturally resistant to many antibiotics. There is no vaccine for melioidosis, and effective eradication is reliant on biphasic and prolonged antibiotic administration. The carbapenem drug, meropenem, is the current gold-standard option for treating severe melioidosis. Intrinsic B. pseudomallei resistance towards meropenem has not yet been documented; however, resistance could conceivably develop over the course of infection, leading to prolonged sepsis and treatment failure. Here, we document 11 melioidosis cases in which B. pseudomallei isolates developed decreased susceptibility towards meropenem during treatment, including two cases not treated with this antibiotic. Meropenem minimum inhibitory concentrations increased over time from 0.5-0.75 to 3-8 μg/mL. Using comparative genomics, we identified multiple mutations affecting multidrug resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pump regulators, leading to over-expression of their corresponding pumps. The most commonly affected pump was AmrAB-OprA, although alterations in the local regulators of BpeEF-OprC or BpeAB-OprB were observed in three cases. This study confirms the role of RND efflux pumps in decreased meropenem susceptibility in B. pseudomallei . Further, we document two concerning examples of severe melioidosis where the reduced treatment efficacy of meropenem was associated with a fatal outcome. Significance Statement The bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei , which causes the often-fatal tropical disease melioidosis, is difficult to eradicate. Due to high levels of intrinsic antibiotic resistance, only a handful of antibiotics are effective against this pathogen. One of these, meropenem, is commonly used in the treatment of melioidosis patients who are unresponsive to other treatments or are critically ill. Here, we describe 11 melioidosis cases whereby patients exhibited prolonged or repeated infections that were associated with the development of decreased meropenem susceptibility. We identified the molecular basis for this decreased susceptibility in latter B. pseudomallei isolates obtained from these patients, and functionally confirmed the mechanism conferring this phenotype. Our findings have important ramifications for the diagnosis, treatment and management of life-threatening melioidosis cases." @default.
