9 Carbapenems in clinically available Drug Route of Administration Imipenem Meropenem Ertapenem Doripenem IV IV IM, IV IV Major use was in multiple drugs resistant bacteria that was encountered

10 Mechanisms of Carbapenem Resistance 1 Carbapenemase 2 Cephalosporinase (AmpC or ESBL) combined with outmembrane porin loss 3 Up-regulated efflux 4 Decreased affinity of the penicillin binding proteins

39 Interim summary 1 IMP-8 and VIM-1 are the two carbapenemases that were found in both in 2012 and 2013 and were at low prevalence Import of KPC and NDM-1 had been observed in CMY-2 or DHA-1 in combination with OmpK35/36 lost in K pneumoniae or with OmpF/C lost in E coli were, at least, the two major mechanisms involved in carbapenem resistance in Taiwan 3 Our PFGE data showed that KP and E coli are genetically divers but clonal spread of KPC-2 carrying KP was found in 2012 and are increasing in 2013 becoming an endemic problem in Taiwan 4 Unknown mechanism may involve for carbapenem resistance

40 Completed plasmid sequence of KPC-2 K penumoniae 1 From CR-KP 2 blakpc-2, blashv-11 3 No arma 4 A truncated version of IncFII replicon (without tra/trb and repfiik-1 loci)

41 Completed plasmid sequence of KPC-2 E coli 1 From CR-Ec 2 blakpc-2, blacmy-2, blactx-m-3, blatem Region caused unstable transferability 3 Chimera of IncI, incn, incf replicons

42 Comparison of the blakpc-2 regions A conserved 36-kb region containing the complete transfer operon (locus tra-trb) embedded in pkp048 and pkpn101-it is completely missing in pkpc_lk30 and therefore the plasmid lost its ability in conjugation

43 Discussion 1 Although KPC-2 plasmid from E coli were isolated in the same carbapenam resistance monitoring program and KPC-2 carrying K pneumoniae clonal spreading were observed, the plasmid in E coli was highly different to the KPC-2 plasmid in K pneumoniae 2 The KPC-2 plasmid in E coli was able to transfer its plasmid into other E coli but the region shuffion may affect the efficiency of plasmid transferability 3 The Genetic deficiency due to truncated version of IncFII replicon may lead to the inability of plasmid transferability The lost of complete transfer operon (locus tra-trb) embedded in pkp048 may lead the plasmid lost its ability in conjugation and also why the outbreak of KPC-2 carrying KP was confined 4 The isolation of NDM-1 from infected patients is alarming because of its highly effective transferability in conjungation and cross species transferring
