Abstract

The aims of the present study were to characterize the mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and imipenem in Haemophilus influenzae, to assess the extent of the AcrAB-TolC-mediated resistance, and to define a core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme for H. influenzae by using whole-genome sequencing. Four amino acid substitutions in GyrA (at Ser84 and Asp88), ParC (at Ser84), and ParE (at Asp420) were found to be closely associated to the MICs. We did not find any amino acid substitution surrounding the three highly conserved amino acid motifs in PBP3 related to imipenem resistance. All the isolates possessed the ermB gene. Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) decreased the MIC of imipenem by twofold for FQR-6 and fourfold for GE47 and GE88 strains. For erythromycin, the MICs were decreased by twofold. We found that the six FQR isolates were clustered in two groups. The number of different loci within FQR-1_FQR-3_FQR-5 cluster was 6, while FQR-2 and FQR-4 differed for 21 loci. FQR-1_FQR-3_FQR-5 and FQR-2_FQR-4 clusters were distant among each other and compared to 19 genomes downloaded from NCBI, to 8 strains heteroresistant to imipenem, and to 4 strains monoresistant to ciprofloxaci...Continue Reading
