- W2912889952 abstract "Mobilized colistin resistance ( mcr ) genes are plasmid-borne genes that confer resistance to colistin, an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections. To date, eight known mcr homologues have been described ( mcr -1 to -8). Here, we describe mcr -9, a novel mcr homologue, detected in a Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium ( S. Typhimurium) genome using an in silico approach, followed by experimental functional analysis. The amino acid sequence of mcr -9, detected in a multidrug resistant (MDR) S. Typhimurium strain isolated from a human patient in Washington State in 2010, most closely resembled mcr -3, aligning with 64.5% amino acid identity and 99.5% coverage using translated nucleotide blast. The S. Typhimurium strain was tested for phenotypic resistance to colistin and was found to be sensitive at the 2 mg/L European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing breakpoint under the tested conditions. To determine whether it was capable of conferring resistance to colistin when expressed in a heterologous host, mcr -9 was cloned in colistin-susceptible Escherichia coli NEB5α under an IPTG-induced promoter. Expression of mcr -9 conferred resistance to colistin in E. coli NEB5α at 1, 2, and 2.5 mg/L colistin, albeit at a lower level when compared to mcr -3. Pairwise comparisons of the predicted protein structures associated with all nine mcr homologues (Mcr-1 to -9) revealed that Mcr-9, Mcr-3, and Mcr-7 share a high degree of similarity at the structural level. The results of our approach indicate that mcr -9 is capable of conferring phenotypic resistance to colistin in Enterobacteriaceae and should be immediately considered when monitoring plasmid-mediated colistin resistance. Importance: Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic that is used to treat severe infections caused by MDR and extensively drug resistant (XDR) bacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated colistin as a Highest Priority Critically Important Antimicrobial for human medicine (WHO, Critically Important Antimicrobials for Human Medicine, 5th Revision , 2017), as it is often one of the only therapies available for treating serious bacterial infections in critically ill patients. Plasmid-borne mcr genes that confer resistance to colistin pose a threat to public health at an international scale, as they can be transmitted via horizontal gene transfer and have the potential to spread globally. Therefore, the establishment of a complete reference of mcr genes that can be used to screen for plasmid-mediated colistin resistance is essential for developing effective control strategies." @default.
