- Tigecycline and carbapenems are considered the last line of defense against microbial infections. The co-occurrence of resistance genes conferring resistance to both tigecycline and carbapenems in Pseudomononas asiatica was not investigated.MethodsP. asiatica A28 was isolated from hospital sewage. Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed resistance to carbapenem and tigecycline. WGS was performed to analyze the antimicrobial resistance genes and genetic characteristics. Plasmid transfer by conjugation was investigated. Plasmid fitness costs were evaluated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa transconjugants including a Galleria mellonella infection model.ResultsMeropenem and tigecycline resistant P. asiatica A28 carries a 199, 972 bp long plasmid PLA28.4 which harbors seven resistance genes. Sequence analysis showed that the 7113 bp transposon Tn7389 is made up of a class I integron without a 5’CS terminal and a complete tni module flanked by a pair of 25bp insertion repeats. Additionally, the Tn7493 transposon, 20.24 kp long, with a complete 38-bp Tn1403 IR and an incomplete 30-bp Tn1403 IR, is made up of partial skeleton of Tn1403, a class I integron harboring blaOXA-10, and a Tn5563a transposon. Moreover, one tnfxB3-tmexC3.2-tmexD3b-toprJ1b cluster was found in the plasmid and another one in the the chromosome. Furthermore, plasmid PLA28.4 could be conjugated to P. aeruginosa PAO1, with high fitness cost.DiscussionA multidrug-resistant plasmid carrying tmexCD3-toprJ1b and two novel transposons carrying blaVIM-2 and blaOXA-10 -resistant genes was found in hospital sewage, increasing the risk of transmission of antibiotic-resistant genes. These finding highlight the necessary of controlling the development and spread of medication resistance requires continuous monitoring and management of resistant microorganisms in hospital sewage.

- Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for Fungi, the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 used as the animal barcode was excluded as a potential marker, because it is difficult to amplify in fungi, often includes large introns, and can be insufficiently variable. Three subunits from the nuclear ribosomal RNA cistron were compared together with regions of three representative protein-coding genes (largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, and minichromosome maintenance protein). Although the protein-coding gene regions often had a higher percent of correct identification compared with ribosomal markers, low PCR amplification and sequencing success eliminated them as candidates for a universal fungal barcode. Among the regions of the ribosomal cistron, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has the highest probability of successful identification for the broadest range of fungi, with the most clearly defined barcode gap between inter- and intraspecific variation. The nuclear ribosomal large subunit, a popular phylogenetic marker in certain groups, had superior species resolution in some taxonomic groups, such as the early diverging lineages and the ascomycete yeasts, but was otherwise slightly inferior to the ITS. The nuclear ribosomal small subunit has poor species-level resolution in fungi. ITS will be formally proposed for adoption as the primary fungal barcode marker to the Consortium for the Barcode of Life, with the possibility that supplementary barcodes may be developed for particular narrowly circumscribed taxonomic groups.
