1 Real world applications of whole genome sequencing Henrik Hasman Bacteria, parasites and fungi Statens Serum Institut, Denmark

2 REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS or application of WGS for outbreak detection, national surveillance and research at The Reference Laboratory for Antimicrobial Resistance Karin Sixhøj Pedersen, lab tech Frank Hansen, lab tech Louise Roer, PhD Anette M. Hammerum, PhD Henrik Hasman, PhD

3 Short introduction to me Molecular microbiologist Employed at DTU FOOD until 2015 working with bacterial typing and AMR Involved in the CGE project Co-organizer of a WGS course for clinical microbiologists Co-developer of ResFinder, PlasmidFinder, FimTyper, VirulenceFinder.. Employed at SSI working with bacterial typing and AMR.

4 Timeline for introduction to WGS in relation to AMR at SSI: 2013: Pilot projects (A. baumannii) using Whole-genome sequencing 2014-: WGS of ESBL-producing E. coli from bloodstream infections 2014-: WGS of carbapenemase producing bacteria 2015-: WGS for all clinical vancomycin resistant enterococci 2015-: Colistin resistant bacteria

5 CARBAPENEM RESISTANCE Carbapenems are among the last antibiotics for treatment of infections with multi-drug resistant bacteria (e.g. ESBL-producing E. coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae) Carbapenem resistant bacteria are often multi-resistant can only be treated with few (colistin and tigecyklin) or no antibiotics

6 Carbapenemases: Serin carbapenemases : KPC, GES-2, -4, -5, -6, -8, NMC, SME, IMI-1, -2 Metallo-beta-lactamases: IMP, VIM, SPM-1, GIM-1, SIM-1, AIM-1, KHM-1, NDM, DIM-1, TMB-1 Oxacillinases: OXA-23-gr, OXA-24-gr, OXA-58-gr, OXA-143, OXA- 48-gr K. pneumoniae E. coli other Enterobacteriaceae P. aeruginosa A. baumannii A. baumannii Enterobacteriaceae Red: Found in DK

21 NATIONAL SURVEILLANCE OF VANCOMYCIN RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM

22 ENTEROCOCCI Enterococci belong to the normal gastrointestinal flora of human and animals Enterococci extremely resistant to heat and can survives for extended periods on dry surfaces Enterococci are a common cause of hospital-acquired infections The most frequent infections caused by enterococci are: Urinary tract infections, bacteraemia and endocarditis E. faecalis has in the past causes the most human infections; however infections caused by E. faecium have become more frequent during the last decade Treatment: Combination of an aminoglycoside (gentamicin) and a cell-wallactive agent (penicillin or vancomycin)

23 VANCOMYCIN RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCI Many genes: vana, vanb, vanc, vand, vane, vang, vanl, vanm, vann and (vano) vana and vanb are most common The vana gene is typically located on transposons of the Tn1546 type Tn1546

24 WGS of VRE at SSI In 2014: - Isolates from bloodstream infections (n=32) 2015, 2016 and 2017: - All VRE from infections (n=375 for 2015) and (n=436 for 2016)

25 No. of isolates Clinical VRE ( ) n = 303 n = 375 n = E. faecalis vanb 250 E. faecalis vana E. faecium vanb 200 E. faecium vana

26 Distribution of vana E. faecium VR E 40 VR E VR E VR E VR E % of the isolates are from Zealand

27 STs for the 372 E. faecium from 2015 MLST based on 7 genes divided into 12 STs ST117 (10%) ST80 (33%) Total ST-117 ST-1196 ST-1197 ST-1198 ST-1199 ST-1200 ST-1201 ST-18 ST-192 ST-203 ST-80 Unknown ST ST203 (51%) Only few ST203 before 2015

28 SeqSphere (cgmlst) for E. faecium In 2016, sub-typning of VRE faecium was done using SeqSphere Comparison of 1423 genes Easy to communicate as a number (CT859) Easy to compare with other isolates in the database (including international isolates) cgmlst for E. faecium are very similar to data from SNP-trees

29 cgmlst tree (34 types) for 372 VRE faecium Total ST203 CT859 (51%) Only one isolates with another CT Comparison of 1423 gener ST80 into 12 cluster typer

30 ST203-CT VR E VR E VR E VR E VR E CT859 have been spread to Sweden and the Farroe Islands

31 No. of isolates CONCLUSION WGS and SeqSphere are useful for typing of E. faecium isolates VRE faecium clones are spread across hospitals and different regions in Denmark Fast clonal shifts - ST203-CT859 only few isolates in 2014, but 51% in 2015 and 65% in Total E. faecalis vanb E. faecalis vana E. faecium vanb E. faecium vana 863

32 Colistin resistance (mcr-1 and mcr-2) Colistin can be used for treatment of infections caused to multi-resistant bacteria (carbapenemase-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae) Colistin are used for both humans and animals Plasmid mediated colistin resistance (mcr-1) described in China in November 2015
