Resumen
Objetivo

Determinar la presencia y secuencia del integrón clase I en un aislamiento clínico de Staphylococcus epidermidis proveniente de un neonato con diagnóstico de sepsis.

Materiales y métodos

En una cepa de S. epidermidis, aislada de una muestra de hemocultivo de un neonato, se realizaron las pruebas de identificación microbiológica, susceptibilidad antimicrobiana y la caracterización molecular de los genes aac6'-aph2'', mecA, el gen de la integrasa intI1 y el gen casete aac6'.

Resultados

Se identificó el gen de la integrasa intl1 y mediante secuenciación de nucleótidos se encontró una homología del 78% con las secuencias reportadas en la base de datos del NCBI para bacterias Gram negativas. También se evidenció el casete genético aac6' presente dentro del integrón clase 1, el cual acetila los aminoglucósidos para conferir resistencia a este antibiótico; como parte de la caracterización molecular se encontró la presencia del gen (aac6'-aph2''), que codifica para una enzima bifuncional que inactiva a los aminoglucósidos, y el gen mecA que confiere resistencia a los β-lactámicos. En las pruebas de susceptibilidad se encontró resistencia a ampicilina, oxacilina y gentamicina.

Conclusiones

Se reporta por primera vez en Colombia, la secuencia del gen de la integrasa intl1 en un aislamiento de S. epidermidis, proveniente de un recién nacido con sepsis neonatal de la unidad de cuidados intensivos en un hospital de tercer nivel de Bogotá. Esta integrasa ha sido relacionada sólo en integrones clase 1, los cuales se han asociado a multirresistencia en aislamientos clínicos en bacterias Gram negativas.

El hallazgo de este mecanismo de resistencia, en el presente estudio realizado en una bacteria Gram positiva, sugiere la relación con transferencia horizontal de genes de resistencia entre especies, efectuado mediante la combinación de elementos genéticos móviles. Lo anterior resalta la importancia de la caracterización molecular de cepas causantes de sepsis para el control epidemiológico de la infección y el tratamiento en neonatos.

Abstract
Objective

To determine the presence and the sequence of the class one integron in a Staphylococcus epidermidis strain isolated from a septic neonatal patient.

Materials and methods

The S. epidermidis strain was isolated from a blood culture of a newborn. The microbiological identification, test of sensitivity and molecular characterization of the integrase gene int/1, the cassette gene aac6; aac6'aph2'' resistant gene to aminoglycoside antibiotics and mecA gene resistant to β-lactamics were realized.

Results

The nucleotide sequence of the integrase gen intl1 in S. epidermidis is reported, which showed a 78% similarity to the reported sequence of the NCBI data base in Gram negative bacteria. The gene cassette aac6 aac6' (aminoglycoside acetilation) was also identified within the class one integron confering aminoglycoside resistance. Through molecular characterization we also found the aminoglycoside β-lactamics resistance genes (aac6'aph2'y mecA '); the susceptibility tests showed resistance to ampicilin, oxacilin and gentamicin.

Conclusions

The nucleotide sequence of the integrase gen int/1 is reported for the first time in Colombia in a S. epidermidis strain isolated from a septic neonatal patient, at the neonatal care unit of a third level hospital in Bogotá. This integrase in class one integron was reported, which has shown multiresistance association in clinical isolates in Gram negative bacteria.

The resistance mechanism found during this approach realized in Gram negative bacteria showed the evidence of an interspecies horizontal transfer especially by gene transfer or by moving elements such as integrons and gene cassettes.The molecular character of the causing agent of sepsis is important for epidemiological control of the infection and treatment in the newborn.
