Martínez-Martínez, Francisco José; Chiner-Oms, Álvaro; Furió, Victoria; HpGP Research Network; Yamaoka, Yoshio; Dekker, John P.; Mégraud, Francis; Bénéjat, Lucie; Ducournau, Astrid; Giese, Alban; Jehanne, Quentin; Jauvain, Marine; Camargo, M. Constanza; Comas, Iñaki; Lehours, PhilippeBackground: Rising antimicrobial resistance of Helicobacter pylori is a public health challenge. Genomic-based susceptibility testing allows for the identification of resistance-associated mutations, complementing conventional diagnostics and advancing towards pathogen-based personalised therapies. Our study aimed to identify genes and mutations involved in antimicrobial resistance in H pylori and evaluate the extent to which these markers can be used as predictors of phenotypic resistance against clarithromycin and levofloxacin. Methods: In this retrospective phenotypic and genotypic observational study, we included 1011 H pylori whole-genome sequences and strains of known geographical origin from the H pylori Genome Project (HpGP) collection. We performed phenotypic clarithromycin and levofloxacin susceptibility testing on a subset of 419 HpGP strains using Etest at a centralised laboratory. A genomic analysis was conducted to identify 23S rRNA and gyrA variants and build a curated catalogue of mutations associated with resistance to clarithromycin (ie, 23S rRNA 2142A→G, 2142A→C, and 2143A→G) and levofloxacin (ie, gyrA A88V or A88P, N87K or N87I, and D91G, D91N, or D91Y). Genotype-phenotype concordance was assessed to estimate sensitivity and specificity, and the curated catalogue of resistance-associated mutations was applied to the complete HpGP set. Region-specific prevalence of resistance-associated mutations was calculated for a combined dataset including the HpGP genomes and 768 whole-genome sequences retrieved from the US National Center for Biotechnology Information Sequence Read Archive repository. Associations between resistance genotypes, H pylori subpopulations, and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested. Findings: Clarithromycin-resistant and levofloxacin-resistant HpGP strains were estimated with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%, with all confidence intervals ranging from 96% to 100%. The combined analysis (n=1779) found the highest prevalence of clarithromycin resistance in the western Pacific region (173 [51·2%] of 338 in southeast Asia and 75 [29·8%] of 252 in eastern Asia), north African region (seven [38·9%] of 18), and western Asian region (12 [31·6%] of 38), whereas the highest prevalence of levofloxacin resistance was found in south Asia (14 [51·85%] of 27), Central America (48 [38·7%] of 124), eastern Europe (four [36·4%] of 11), and southern Africa (three [33·3%] of nine). Similarly, 23S rRNA and gyrA genotypes are variable across H pylori subpopulations. MIC values changed depending on the specific mutation in 23S rRNA (mean clarithromycin MIC 24·61 mg/L [95% CI 12·27-36·96] for 2143A→G and 142·25 mg/L [95% CI 77·88-206·61] for 2142A→G) and gyrA (mean levofloxacin MIC 9·66 mg/L [95% CI 6·75-12·56] for mutations on codon 91, and 27·97 mg/L [95% CI 25·82-30·11] for mutations on codon 87). Interpretation: Mutations in specific genes are reliable indicators to clarithromycin and levofloxacin resistance in H pylori, making them useful markers for the development of diagnostic assays and molecular monitoring. Our results suggest that using clarithromycin and levofloxacin empirically, without previous susceptibility testing, is unsuitable in all geographical regions covered by this study.
- Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Campylobacter Isolates: a Focus on Aminoglycoside Resistance DeterminantsPublication . Fabre, Adrien; Oleastro, Monica; Nunes, Alexandra; Santos, Andrea; Sifré, Elodie; Ducournau, Astrid; Bénéjat, Lucie; Buissonnière, Alice; Floch, Pauline; Mégraud, Francis; Dubois, Véronique; Lehours, PhilippeA (WGS) approach was conducted in order to identify the molecular determinants associated with antimicrobial resistance in 12 multidrug-resistant Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates, with a focus on aminoglycoside resistance determinants. Two variants of a new aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene [aph(2″)-Ii1 and aph(2″)-Ii2 ] putatively associated with gentamicin resistance were found. In addition, the following new genes were identified for the first time in Campylobacter: a lincosamide nucleotidyltransferase gene [lnu(G)], likely associated with lincomycin resistance, and two resistance enzyme genes (spw and apmA) similar to those found in Staphylococcus aureus, which may confer spectinomycin and gentamicin resistance, respectively. A C1192T mutation of the 16S rRNA gene that may be involved in spectinomycin resistance was also found in a C. coli isolate. Genes identified in the present study were located either on the bacterial chromosome or on plasmids that could be transferred naturally. Their role in aminoglycoside resistance remains to be supported by genetic studies. Regarding the other antimicrobial agents studied, i.e., ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and tetracycline, a perfect correlation between antimicrobial phenotypes and genotypes was found. Overall, our data suggest that WGS analysis is a powerful tool for identifying resistance determinants in Campylobacter and can disclose the full genetic elements associated with resistance, including antimicrobial compounds not tested routinely in antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
