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
The threats of increasing incidence of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae 1 Significantly limits treatment options for lifethreatening infections 2 Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are normally resistant to other class of antibiotics 3 Rapid spread of resistance due to carbapenemases genes are mobile

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 2012 2 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
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)
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
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
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
