摘要
Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) resistance is a huge threat in the clinic; however, the underlying mechanism responsible for high-level CZA resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) isolates remains unknown. In this study, a total of 5,763 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from 2010 to 2022 to investigate the ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) high-level resistance mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) isolates in China. Fifty-six PER-producing isolates were identified, including 50 isolates carrying blaPER-1 in PA, and 6 isolates carrying blaPER-4. Of these, 82.1% (46/56) were classified as DTR-PA isolates, and 76.79% (43/56) were resistant to CZA. Importantly, blaPER-1 and blaPER-4 overexpression led to 16-fold and >1024-fold increases in the MICs of CZA, respectively. WGS revealed that the blaPER-1 gene was located in two different transferable IncP-2-type plasmids and chromosomes, whereas blaPER-4 was found only on chromosomes and was carried by a class 1 integron embedded in a Tn6485-like transposon. Overexpression of efflux pumps may be associated with high-level CZA resistance in blaPER-1-positive strains. Kinetic parameter analysis revealed that PER-4 exhibited a similar kcat/Km with ceftazidime and a high (∼3359-fold) IC50 value with avibactam compared to PER-1. Our study found that overexpression of PER-1 combined with enhanced efflux pump expression and the low affinity of PER-4 for avibactam contributes to high-level resistance to CZA. Additionally, the Tn6485-like transposon plays a significant role in disseminating blaPER. Urgent active surveillance is required to prevent the further spread of high-level CZA resistance in DTR-PA isolates.
