Genomic insights into an extensively drug-resistant and hypervirulent Burkholderia dolosa N149 isolate of a novel sequence type (ST2237) from a Vietnamese patient hospitalized for stroke.
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance 2024 Februrary 25
OBJECTIVES: Burkholderia dolosa is a clinically important opportunistic pathogen in inpatients. Here we characterized an extensively drug-resistant and hypervirulent B. dolosa isolate from a patient hospitalized for stroke.
METHODS: Resistance to 41 antibiotics was tested with the agar disc diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration, or broth microdilution method. The complete genome was assembled using short-reads and long-reads and the hybrid de novo assembly method. Allelic profiles obtained by multilocus sequence typing were analyzed using the PubMLST database. Antibiotic-resistance and virulence genes were predicted in silico using public databases and the "baargin" workflow. B. dolosa N149 phylogenetic relationships with all available B. dolosa strains and Burkholderia cepacia complex strains were analyzed using the pangenome obtained with Roary.
RESULTS: B. dolosa N149 displayed extensive resistance to 31 antibiotics and intermediate resistance to 4 antibiotics. The complete genome included three circular chromosomes (6,338,630 bp in total) and one plasmid (167,591 bp). Genotypic analysis revealed various gene clusters (acr, amr, amp, emr, ade, bla and tet) associated with resistance to 35 antibiotic classes. The major intrinsic resistance mechanisms were multidrug efflux pump alterations, inactivation and reduced permeability of targeted antibiotics. Moreover, 91 virulence genes (encoding proteins involved in adherence, formation of capsule, biofilm and colony, motility, phagocytosis inhibition, secretion systems, protease secretion, transmission and quorum sensing) were identified. B. dolosa N149 was assigned to a novel sequence type (ST2237) and formed a mono-phylogenetic clade separated from other B. dolosa strains.
CONCLUSION: This study provided insights into the antimicrobial resistance and virulence mechanisms of B. dolosa.
