3 28 Research letters 29 Enterobacteriaceae carrying the carbapenemase gene showing a paradoxical 30 resistant phenotype resistant to virtually all ß-lactams including meropenem but not imipenem is increasing (1, 2, 3). Here we report the first isolation of K. pneumoniae carrying bla OXA-181 in Japan showing a similar stealth-type resistant phenotype. In Apr 2010, a man was admitted to hospital in Mumbai, India with unidentified multiple organ failures. In June 2010, he was transferred to an ICU in Hiroshima, Japan. K. pneumoniae MS5166 was isolated from the urine sample of the patient. This isolate was resistant to almost all ß-lactams including meropenem but susceptible to imipenem following CLSI criteria (4): the MIC was 2 µg/ml for imipenem and 8 µg/ml for meropenem using the broth microdilution method. Further, MS5166 was resistant to aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones: the MIC (μg/ml) was amikacin, >32; gentamicin, >8; tobramycin, >8; ciprofloxacin, >2 and levofloxacin, >4. 41 The metallo-ß-lactamase phenotype test (5) was negative. PCR for carbapenemase 42 genes using PCR with 11 universal primer sets (6) gave positive result for gene 43 encoding OXA-48-like. Direct sequencing of the amplicon indicated it is 100% 3

4 44 identical to the bla OXA-181, differing from bla OXA-48 by four amino acid substitutions. 45 The draft genome sequence of MS5166 generated using Illumina MiSeq 46 (Nextera paired-end library; 3,971,486 bp; fold coverage), assembled using CLC Genomics Workbench (CLC bio, Cambridge, MA), and generated using OSLay (7) indicated bla OXA-181 is on the chromosome (Fig. 1). The partial sequence of MS5166 containing bla OXA-181 was deposited in GenBank (accession no. AB972272). ISEcp1 is located upstream of bla OXA-181 reported previously (8, 9). bla OXA-181 is located on a deleted version of Tn2013 (2,961 bp), flanked by a 5-bp duplication of the target site (AAAGA) in the MS5166 chromosome between arginine ABC transporter substrate-binding protein and yjes gene (Fig. 1). Putative inverted repeat right (IRR) of ISEcp1 revealed weak identity with its original IRR sequence (8). Potron et al. previously showed Tn2013 integrated into the E. coli chromosome upon conjugation in vitro (8). This is the first clinical case of the chromosomally integrated 57 Tn2013 shown to be ISEcp1 associated with the bla OXA-181 in K. pneumoniae. 58 Resfinder search (10) of the draft genome sequence of MS5166 identified 59 bla CTX-M-15, bla TEM-1A, bla SHV-11, arma, aada2, aac(6')-ib, aada1 and aac(6')ib-cr 4

5 60 genes in addition to the bla OXA-181. The multilocus sequence typing of MS belonged to ST43, a minor cluster producing OXA-181 and CTX-M-15 in India (11). 62 The catalytic activities (k cat /K m ) of OXA-181 for imipenem was reportedly times higher than that for meropenem (12). We therefore sought the mechanism other than OXA-181 to explain imipenem susceptible meropenem resistant phenotype of MS5166. We identified a 14-bp deletion in ompk35 leaving a 22 amino acid sequence with a truncation of the large C-terminal region and a frame-shift mutation in ompk36 causing addition of two amino acids in loop 3 generating the variant, OmpK36V (13). Clinical K. pneumoniae producing ESBL, OmpK36V but lacking OmpK35, shows the imipenem susceptible meropenem resistant phenotype (13). Therefore the absence of OmpK35 and the frame-shift mutation in OmpK36 may be the mechanism for this peculiar carbapenem resistance phenotype in ESBL- and OXA-181-producing K. pneumoniae MS Acknowledgment 75 The authors thank Jim Nelson for editorial assistance. 5

ORFs are represented by pentagons. Nucleotide letters in squares represent direct or inverted repeat (shaded base pairs are identical, and white base pairs are different), and target site duplications (repeat regions) are represented in squares. Tn2013 in MS5166 is found to be located between 438,346 and 438,347 bp on the chromosome of K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044 genome (GenBank accession no. NC012731). References 1.
