Earliest identification of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) in Acinetobacter pittii in Brazil

Abstract: We report the occurrence in Brazil of the bla NDM-1 gene in Acinetobacter pittii, prior to the previously described first reports regarding the species Providencia rettgeri and Enterobacter hormaechei. Clinical isolates were investigated by polymerase chain reaction followed by bidirectional sequencing, and species was confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight spectrometry. A. pittii carrying bla NDM-1 was confirmed in a patient with no national or internat… Show more

“…The major mechanisms of resistance in CRAP found in Thailand include production of OXA-23 and OXA-58 [ 7 , 8 ]. Apart from bla OXA genes with MBLs, genes such as bla IMP-14a have been reported in CRAP isolates from Thailand, while bla NDM -carrying organisms have been reported in countries like Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Brazil, but not in Thailand [ 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Genomic characterization of metallo-β-lactamase harboring A. pittii has not yet been investigated in the isolates from Thailand.…”

“…Although much less common than bla OXA-23 , the presence of bla NDM in Acinetobacter spp. is another interesting finding, with the first Brazilian isolate detected in Acinetobacter pittii in September 2012 [ 34 ] followed by the detection in 2014 in A. baumannii [ 35 ], Acinetobacter bereziniae [ 36 ], and Acinetobacter nosocomialis [ 37 ].…”

“…The first outbreak of bla OXA-23 -producing A. baumannii was described in 1999 in the city of Curitiba, State of Paraná, Brazil, 14 years after the first identification of the enzyme in Scotland. Since then, several studies have identified this pathogen with a similar resistance profile in several Brazilian states [ 16 ]. Results from these investigations revealed that A. baumannii harbored a high prevalence of bla OXA-23 , followed by bla OXA-51 ; bla OXA-143 was found in A. baumannii isolates in Brazil and other Latin American countries [ 12 , 15 , 17 , 18 ].…”
