Clostridium neonatale antimicrobial susceptibility, genetic resistance determinants, and genotyping: a multicentre spatiotemporal retrospective analysis

Résumé

Background Clostridium neonatale was isolated during an outbreak of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in 2002. C. neonatale was validated as a new species within the genus Clostridium sensu stricto in 2018. In the present study, we evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility, genetic determinants of resistance, and phylogenetic relationships of a collection of clinical isolates of C. neonatale. Methods C. neonatale strains (n = 68) were isolated from the stools of preterm neonates who either developed NEC or were asymptomatic carriers of C. neonatale in different periods and in different hospitals. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the disc diffusion method. The MICs of clindamycin, cefotaxime and tetracycline were determined. Genetic determinants of resistance were screened by PCR (n = 68) and WGS (n = 35). Genotyping of the isolates was performed by MLST. Results Antimicrobial resistance was found to clindamycin (n = 24; 35%), cefotaxime (n = 7; 10%) and tetracycline (n = 1; 1%). One clindamycin-resistant isolate carried erm(B) by PCR. In addition, one isolate carrying tet(M) was tetracycline resistant (MIC = 16 mg/L) and 44 isolates carrying either tet(O), tet(32) or tet(M) were tetracycline susceptible (MICs < 16 mg/L). MLST showed that ST2 and ST15 were significantly associated with tet(32) (P < 0.0001) and tet(O) (P < 0.0001), respectively. From WGS, we identified aph(3′)-IIa and blaTEM-116 genes and a blaCBP-1-like gene. Conclusions C. neonatale is susceptible to anti-anaerobic molecules but resistant to clindamycin, cefotaxime and tetracycline. Genes encoding tetracycline ribosomal protection, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B rRNA methyltransferase, aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase and β-lactamases have been identified in genomic regions flanked by mobile genetic elements.
