ObjectivesWe characterised the complex surrounding regions ofblaGES-16in aPseudomonas aeruginosa exoU+ strain (P-10.226) in Brazil.MethodsSpecies identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS, and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile was determined by broth microdilution based on European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints. The whole genome sequencing (WGS) of P-10.226 strain was performed using both short-read paired-end sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform as well as the long-read Oxford Nanopore MinION.ResultsWGS analysis showed that P-10.226 carriedblaGES-16, which was found as a gene cassette inserted into a novel class I integron, In1992 (aadB-blaOXA-56-blaGES-16-aadB-aadA6c), whose 3′-CS was truncated by a nested transposable element, IS5564::ISPa157. The structure was even more complex since IS6100-ΔIS6100structure and a TnAs2-like harbouring the operonmerRTPADEwas found downstream In1992. Fragments of TnAs3harbouring 25-bp imperfect inverted repeats were identified bordering theintl1of In1992 and also flanking IS6100-ΔIS6100, which might be genetic marks of its previous presence in the genome. Interestingly, In1992 also shows a distinct cassette array from In581 (blaGES-16-dfrA22-aacA27-aadA1), which was previously reported inSerratia marcescensstrains recovered in Brazil. Finally,exoUgene, which encodes a potent cytotoxin of type III secretion systems (T3SS) effector proteins fromP. aeruginosaand is associated to severe infections, was also detected.ConclusionWe described the novel In1992 carryingblaGES-16surrounded by complex transposition events in a XDRP. aeruginosastrain. The identification of many sets of direct repeats adjacent to TnAs3fragments indicates a major past of transposition events that shaped the current genetic environment of In1992.
