Nosocomial dissemination of Providencia stuartii isolates carrying blaOXA-48, blaPER-1, blaCMY-4 and qnrA6 in a Tunisian hospital

Abstract: This is the first report of an outbreak due to P. stuartii isolates carrying bla(OXA-48) in Tunisia. The simultaneous expression of various resistance genes (bla(OXA-48), bla(CMY-4), bla(PER-1), qnrA and aac-6'-Ib) by P. stuartii isolates is alarming.

“…TEM types, especially TEM-52 and TEM-92, dominate in France and Italy (44,45), while CTX-M types are common in Israel (CTX-M-2), Poland (CTX-M-3), Japan (CTX-M-2), South Korea (CTX-M-14), and Argentina (CTX-M-2) (41,42,(46)(47)(48). Providencia species producing ESBL types other than CTX-M-2 have only been reported on a few occasions (49).…”

“…The results revealed that bla PER-1 was located on a 160-kb broad-host-range IncA/C plasmid within the RJ354 isolate and its transconjugant. In previous studies, bla PER-1 was also found to be located on IncA/C plasmids in Providencia stuartii and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from Tunisia and South Korea, respectively (10,13), indicating that the IncA/C plasmids may play a role in the dissemination of bla PER-1 .…”

“…More concerning, however, was a retrospective analysis that uncovered an outbreak of OXA-48-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Dutch hospital that had been ongoing for 2 years (53). OXA-48 has disseminated to a wide variety of Enterobacteriaceae species, including Klebsiella spp., E. coli, Citrobacter spp., Serratia marcescens (54)(55)(56), Enterobacter spp., Morganella morganii (55), Providencia stuartii (57), Raoultella planticola (56), and Salmonella enterica (51).…”
