1 ORIGINALNI RAD / ORIGINAL PAPER DOI: /VETGL R UDK: : METODE DETEKCIJE I TIPIZACIJE METICILIN-REZISTENTNIH STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IZOLOVANIH IZ ŽIVOTINJA* METHODS OF DETECTION AND TYPING OF METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATED FROM ANIMALS Radosavljević V., Žutić Jadranka, Pavlović Ljiljana, Bošković Tamara, Radanović O., Žutić M.** U radu je izvršena evaluacija metoda detekcije meticilin rezistentnog Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) upotrebom dva molekularna i tri fenotipska testa u postupku ispitivanja 70 sojeva S. aureus izolovanih iz životinja. Skorašnji nalaz novog meca homologa, meca LGA251, umanjuje značaj dokazivanja prisustva meca gena kao potvrdne metode u identifikaciji meticilin rezistentnog Staphylococcus aureus. Iz ovog razloga je, pored multipleks PCR seta prajmera (16S rdnk, nuc, meca) za detekciju meca gena, korišćen i multipleks PCR set prajmera (spa, meca, pvl, meca LGA251 ) za diferencijaciju meca LGA251 od meca, sa istovremenom detekcijom lukf-pv i spa genskih fragmenata. Kod svih 70 ispitivanih izolata detektovano je prisustvo specifičnog 16S rdnk fragmenta i nuc gena koji kodira termostabilnu nukleazu S. aureus, dok je kod 5 od 70 izolata S. aureus pomoću dva multipleks PCR testa dokazano prisustvo meca gena. U ispitivanim sojevima nije utvrđeno prisustvo mecc (meca LGA251 ) gena, niti Panton Valentin Leukocidin kodirajućeg gena. Primenom cefoksitin disk-difuzionog, lateks-aglutinacionog i dva multipleks PCR testa, dobijeni su identični rezultati u identifikaciji pet meticilin rezistentnih od 70 ukupno ispitanih sojeva S. aureus. U našem istraživanju utvrđena je potpuna korelacija između rezultata fenotipske i genotipske identifikacije meticilin rezistentnog S. aureus. Ključne reči: Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, cefoksitin, multipleks PCR, meca LGA251 * Rad primljen za štampu godine. ** V.

2 Uvod / Introduction Rod Staphylococcus obuhvata čitav niz oportunističkih patogena različitog značaja u veterinarskoj medicini. Najznačajnijim se među njima smatra Staphylococcus (S.) aureus zbog njegove izražene adaptabilnosti i mogućnosti da uzrokuje različita patološka stanja, od blagih kožnih infekcija do smrtonosnih bakterijemija. Bitno svojstvo stafilokoka je njihova sposobnost da stvore rezistenciju prema antimikrobnim sredstvima. Otpornost prema meticilinu bazira se na prisustvu meca gena, koji kodira sintezu izmenjenog penicilin vezujućeg proteina (PBP2a), i njegovim niskim afinitetom prema beta-laktamskim antibioticima (Kwon i sar., 2005). MecA gen se nalazi na stafilokoknoj hromozomskoj kaseti mobilnom genetskom elementu na hromozomu (SCC staphylococcal chromosomal casette mec) (Chambers,1997). Pojava meticilin rezistentnih sojeva S. aureus (MRSA) je utvrđena nedugo nakon njegovog uvođenja u kliničku upotrebu. Prva pojava rezistencije na meticilin zabeležena je godine među bolničkim izolatima u Engleskoj (Jevons, 1961). Prve meticilin rezistentne stafilokoke poreklom od životinja izolovane su godine iz mleka krava sa mastitisom (Devriese i sar., 1972). Iako se meticilin već duže vreme ne koristi u lečenju stafilokoknih infekcija, akronim MRSA se i dalje koristi kao oznaka rezistencije na beta-laktamske antibiotike. Meticilin rezistentni sojevi S. aureus izolovani su iz 30 odsto teladi u Holandiji (Graveland i sar., 2008), kao i iz 39-70% svinja na liniji klanja (de Neeling i sar., 2007; Tenhagen i sar., 2009). MRSA sojevi su takođe izolovani i iz konja i kućnih ljubimaca (Walther et al., 2006; Weese et al, 2006), brojlera (Persoons i sar., 2009) svinja (van Duijkeren i sar., 2007; Žutić i sar., 2012a) i krava sa subkliničkim mastitisom (Žutić i sar., 2012b). Poseban problem predstavlja mogućnost prenošenja sojeva MRSA sa životinja na ljude, pogotovo od kada je utvrđeno da je prisustvo MRSA tipa ST398 mnogo učestalije kod poljoprivrednika, veterinara i klaničnog osoblja u odnosu na opštu populaciju (Voss i sar., 2005; Wulf i sar., 2007). U više država su utvrđene kliničke infekcije ljudi izazvane ovim tipom S. aureus (van Loo i sar., 2007; Witte i sar, 2007). Iz učestale pojave meticilin-rezistentnih stafilokoka kod ljudi i životinja proizašla je potreba primene brzih i pouzdanih metoda detekcije antimikrobne rezistencije. Više autora upućuje na upotrebu cefoksitina kao markera rezistencije na meticilin (Felten i sar., 2002; Swenson i sar., 2005; Swenson i sar., 2007), a cefoksitin disk difuzioni metod je preporučeni metod za detekciju MRSA (CLSI, 2008). Međutim, pouzdanost detekcije rezistencije primenom fenotipskih testova nije uvek zadovoljavajuća, s obzirom na činjenicu da na ekspresiju gena značajno utiču uslovi spoljašnje sredine i faktori kultivacije (Martineau i sar., 2000). Za identifikaciju sojeva MRSA putem detekcije meca gena koristi se i lančana reakcija polimeraze (PCR). Skorašnji nalaz novog meca homologa, meca LGA251, sa svega 70% homologije sa poznatim meca genom, umanjio je značaj testiranja na prisustvo meca gena kao potvrdne metode za dokazivanje meticilin rezistentnog Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Stoga se preporučuje primena multipleks PCR za diferencijaciju meca LGA251 od meca, sa isto- 90

3 vremenom detekcijom lukf-pv i spa genskih fragmenata, što omogućava i direktno spa tipiziranje sekvenciranjem PCR amplikona (Stegger i sar., 2012). Cilj ovog rada je evaluacija mogućnosti detekcije meticilin rezistentnih sojeva S. aureus primenom fenotipskih i molekularnih metoda. Materijal i metode rada / Material and methods Za ispitivanje je korišćeno ukupno 70 sojeva S. aureus, izolovanih iz kliničkog materijala poreklom od domaćih životinja (goveda i svinje). Identifikacija sojeva S. aureus izvršena je standardnim bakteriološkim metodama uz primenu komercijalnih testova (Slidex Staph Plus, biomerieux ; BBL Crystal G/P ID kit, Becton Dickinson). Ispitujući sojevi S. aureus zasejani su na hromogenu podlogu (chromid MRSA, biomerieux) i inkubirani na temperaturi od 37 o C u aerobnim uslovima tokom 24 sata. Svi izolati su takođe ispitivani na prisustvo rezistencije disk difuzionom metodom na Mueller Hinton II agaru (biomerieux), primenom diska cefoksitina od 30 µg (Rosco, Danska) i interpretacijom rezultata prema preporuci CLSI (2008). Svih 70 sojeva S. aureus je ispitano na prisustvo produkta meca gena, penicillin vezujućeg proteina (PBP2a) pomoću lateks aglutinacionog testa (Slidex MRSA Detection, biomerieux). Test je izvršen prema uputstvu proizvođača. Za ekstrakciju DNK iz 24 časa starih kultura je korišćen QIAamp DNA mini kit (Qiagen), prema uputstvu proizvođača. Tabela 1.

4 Za utvrđivanje meca statusa korišćena su dva multipleks PCR testa: 1. Multipleks PCR (16S, nuc, meca), pri čemu je istovremeno vršena amplifikacija Staphylococcus specifičnih regija 16S rdnk, meca gena i nuc gena (Poulsen i sar., 2003) (tabela 1). Prajmeri za rad su sintetisani u Metabion GmbH, Nemačka. Za pripremu PCR smeše korišćen je HotStarTaq Master Mix (Qiagen, Germany), prema uputstvu proizvođača. Umnožavanje DNK fragmenata je vršeno u PCR aparatu (Mastercycler, Eppendorf, Nemačka). Nakon inicijalne denaturacije DNK pri temperaturi od 94 C u trajanju od 5 minuta, reakcija (30 ciklusa) se odvijala u sledećim temperaturnim uslovima: 30 sekundi na 94 o C, 30 sekundi na 55 o C i 30 sekundi na 72 o C, sa završnom elongacijom na 72 o C u trajanju od dva minuta. PCR proizvodi su vizuelizovani na 2% agaroznom gelu (Bio-Rad) sa etidijum-bromidom na UV transiluminatoru. Na osnovu DNK markera (DNA Ladder, bp, Fermentas) određena je približna molekulska masa PCR produkata. Kao negativna kontrola korišćen je referentni soj S. aureus ATCC 29213, a kao pozitivna kontrola meticilin rezistentan S. aureus ATCC U slučajevima nuc i meca amplifikacije, u multipleks PCR reakciji su, osim 16S rdnk fragmenta veličine 886 bp, bili prisutni i meca fragment DNK veličine 527 bp i nuc fragment DNK veličine 225 bp. Pozitivna (MRSA ATCC 43300) i negativna (S. aureus ATCC 29213) kontrola su korišćene za svaku PCR reakciju. 2. Multipleks PCR (spa, meca, pvl, meca LGA251 ) za diferencijaciju meca LGA251 od meca, sa istovremenom detekcijom lukf-pv i spa genskih fragmenata. Za potvrdu rezistencije prema meticilinu detekcijom meca gena i istovremeno utvrđivanje prisustva mecc (meca LGA251 ) gena, spa gena i Panton Valentin Leukocidin (PVL ili lukf-pv) kodirajućih gena, korišćen je multipleks PCR prema Stegger i sar. (2012) (tabela 1). Prajmeri za rad su sintetisani u Metabion GmbH, Nemačka. Za pripremu PCR smeše korišćen je HotStarTaq Master Mix (Qiagen, Nemačka), prema uputstvu proizvođača. Umnožavanje DNK fragmenata je vršeno u PCR aparatu (Mastercycler, Eppendorf, Nemačka). Nakon inicijalne denaturacije DNK pri temperaturi od 94 o C u trajanju od 5 minuta, reakcija (30 ciklusa) se odvijala u sledećim temperaturnim uslovima: 30 sekundi na 94 o C, 60 sekundi na 59 o C i 60 sekundi na 72 o C, sa završnom elongacijom na 72 o C u trajanju od 10 minuta. PCR proizvodi su vizuelizovani na 2% agaroznom gelu (Bio-Rad) sa etidijum-bromidom na UV transiluminatoru. Na osnovu DNK markera (DNA Ladder, bp, Fermentas) određena je približna molekulska masa PCR produkata. Rezultati / Results Pri kultivaciji na hromogenoj podlozi, od 70 ispitujućih sojeva Staphylococcus aureus, njih je 5, nakon 24 h inkubacije na temperaturi od 37 o C raslo u vidu okruglih, konveksnih, zeleno do sivkasto obojenih kolonija sa zelenim rubovima, prečnika oko 1,5 mm (slika 1). Preostalih 65 sojeva nije pokazalo rast niti nakon 72 sata inkubacije. 92

Colonies of MRSA at chromogen medium Ispitivanjem osetljivosti svih 70 sojeva, istih je 5 sojeva, koji su rasli na hromogenoj podlozi, pokazalo rezistenciju na cefoksitin, pri čemu se zona inhibicije kretala od mm. Takođe je, primenom lateks aglutinacionog testa ovih 5 sojeva dalo pozitivnu reakciju, odnosno kod njih je dokazano prisustvo penicilin vezujućeg proteina (PBP2a). Amplifikacijom Staphylococcus-specifičnih regija 16S rdnk u ispitivanim izolatima potvrđena je pripadnost svih ispitivanih izolata rodu Staphylococcus. Kod svih 70 ispitivanih izolata detektovano je prisustvo nuc gena, koji kodira termostabilnu nukleazu specifičnu za S. aureus. Kod 5 od 70 izolata amplifikovan fragment meca gena, veličine 527 bp (slika 2 i 3). Zone inhibicije utvrđene disk difuzionom metodom sa cefoksitinom su date u tabeli 2. Tabela 2.

6 Dakle, i cefoksitin-rezistentni i osetljivi sojevi su pokazali potpunu saglasnost rezultata dobijenih pomoću multipleks PCR i primenom fenotipskih metoda. Kod svih ispitivanih izolata je utvrđeno prisustvo spa gena, čime je omogućena dalja karakterizacija i tipizacija izolovanih sojeva. U ispitivanim izolatima S. aureus nije detektovano prisustvo meca LGA251, niti Panton-Valentin leukocidin (PVL) kodirajućeg gena. M Slika 2. Multipleks PCR (16S, nuc, meca).

7 Diskusija / Discussion Dokazivanje meca gena ili njegovog proizvoda, penicilin vezujućeg proteina (PBP2a), smatra se zlatnim standardom za potvrdu MRSA (Skov i sar., 2006). Skorašnje studije su pokazale da je test disk difuzije sa cefoksitinom značajno pouzdaniji u odnosu na većinu trenutno korišćenih fenotipskih metoda, poput testova sa oksacilinom (Swenson i sar. 2007). U našem istraživanju je utvrđena potpuna korelacija između rezultata fenotipske i genotipske identifikacije S. aureus i detekcije rezistencije na cefoksitin. Pérez-Roth i sar. (2002) su takođe utvrdili potpunu konzistentnost rezultata fenotipskih testova i multipleks PCR u identifikaciji i detekciji rezistencije na oksacilin i mupirocinu. Genotipska detekcija meca se koristi kao referentni standard za identifikaciju MRSA, kao primarni ili potvrdni test (Chambers, 1997). PCR je od velike koristi u dokazivanju bakterijskih infekcija izazvanih rezistentnim sojevima S. aureus, s obzirom na to da detektuje gen rezistencije, dok se fenotipskim tehnikama dokazuju rezultati ekspresije gena. Na ekspresiju gena mogu uticati uslovi spoljašnje sredine i uslovi kultivacije bakterija, što može izazvati sumnju u rezultate i ispravno tumačenje podataka dobijenih primenom fenotipskih metoda. Nedavno je otkriven novi meca homolog (meca LGA251 ), čije je prisustvo utvrđeno u sojevima S. aureus koji pripadaju klonalnim kompleksima (CC) 130, CC1943 i ST 425, poreklom od krava (García-Álvarez i sar, 2011). Kod meca LGA251 gena je utvrđeno svega 70% homologije nukleotida sa meca, a gen se nalazi u novootkrivenom SCC elementu označenom kao SCCmec tip XI. Do sada je utvrđeno da su izolati koji sadrže meca LGA251 rezistentni prema β-laktamskim antibioticima, ali njihovo prisustvo nije moguće dokazati standardnim PCR metodom za detekciju meca gena, zahvaljujući različitom sadržaju nukleotida (García-Álvarez i sar, 2011; Shore i sar., 2011). Fenotipski rezistentni (cefoksitin/oksacillin) izolati, kod kojih pomoću PCR nije moguće utvrditi prisustvo meca gena se nazivaju BORSA (Borderline oxacillin-resistant S. aureus). Otkrićem meca LGA251 dobijena je genetska potvrda BORSA MRSA fenotipa. Zaključak / Conclusion Primenom hromogene podloge, cefoksitin disk-difuzionog, lateks-aglutinacionog testa i multipleks PCR testa sa dva seta prajmera dobijeni su identični rezultati u identifikaciji 5 meticilin rezistentnih od 70 ukupno ispitanih sojeva Staphylococcus aureus. U našim je ispitivanjima kultivacija na hromogenoj podlozi pokazala visoku selektivnost, što upućuje na mogućnost korišćenja ovih vrsta podloga za kultivaciju, posebno pri ispitivanjima većeg broja uzoraka. Cefoksitin disk difuzioni test je, kao preliminarni metod, prikladan za izvođenje u laboratorijama. U istraživanju je korišćena multipleks PCR metoda metoda koja omogućava brzu i istovremenu detekciju i diferencijaciju obe meca varijante i njhovog Panton-Val- 95

8 entine leukocidin (PVL) lokusa, koja daje osnovu za tipizaciju, genetsku analizu i grupisanje izolata daljim spa sekvenciranjem. Multipleks PCR metodom je dokazano da sojevi kod kojih je detektovana rezistencija na meticilin nisu BORSA već MRSA. Povećanje incidencije meticilin rezistentnih sojeva stafilokoka postaje sve značajniji problem u humanoj i veterinarskoj medicini. Stoga je pouzdano i rano otkrivanje ove vrste rezistencije od prioritetnog značaja. Pri tome je neophodno kontinuirano praćenje ovog problema, kako bi se na osnovu relevantnih podataka donosile preporuke i programi sa ciljem sprečavanja širenja rezistencije i smanjili njeni postojeći nivoi.

African J Microbiol Res 2012b; 6: ENGLISH METHODS OF DETECTION AND TYPING OF METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATED FROM ANIMALS Radosavljević V., Žutić Jadranka, Pavlović Ljiljana, Bošković Tamara, Radanović O., Žutić M. In this work there was evaluated the method of detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by using two molecular and three phenotypic tests in investigation procedure of 70 strains of S.aureus isolated from animals. Recent findings of the new meca homologue, meca LGA251, minimise the significance of meca gene presence detection as a confirmation method of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus identification. For this reason, along with multiplex PCR set of primers(165rdnk, nuc, meca) for detection meca gene, there was also used multiplex PCR set of primers (spa, meca, pvl, meca LGA251 ) for differentiation meca LGA251 from meca, with simultaneous detection of luk-pv and spa gene fragments. In all 70 investigated isolates there was detected the presence of specific 16 SrDNK fragment and nuc gene which encodes a thermostable S. aureus nuclease, while in 5 out of 70 S. aureus isolates, there was proven meca gene presence using two multiplex PCR tests. In the investigated strains there was determined neither mecc (meca LGA251 )gene presence, nor Panton Valentine Leukocidin encoding gene. By application cefoxitin disk-diffusion, latex-agglutination and two multiplex PCR tests, the identical results in identification 5 methicillin resistant out of 70 investigated S. aureus strains were obtained. In our investigation there was determined a complete correlation between the results of phenotypic and genotypic identification of methicillin resistant S. aureus. Key words: Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, cefoxitin, multiplex PCR, meca LGA251 РУССКИЙ МЕТОДЫ ОБНАРУЖЕНИЯ И ТИПИЗАЦИИ МЕТИЦИЛЛИН-РЕЗИСТЕНТНЫХ STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ВЫДЕЛЕНЫХ ИЗ ЖИВОТНЫХ В. Радосавлевич, Ядранка Жутич, Лиляна Павлович, Тамара Бошкович, О. Раданович, М. Жутич В этой статье мы оценили метод обнаружения метициллин-резистентного Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) употребляя два молекуларных и три фенотипических тестов, оценивая 70 штаммов S. aureus выделеных из животных. Последние результаты но- 98

11 вого meca гомолога, meca LGA2514 уменьшают важность доказать наличие meca гена, как подтверждающего метода в выявлении метициллин-устойчивого Staphylococus aureus. По этой причине, в дополнение к нескольким наборам PCR-праймеров для обнаружения meca генов, использовали и детали мультиплексного PCR набора праймеров (spa, meca, pvl, meca LGA2514 ) с дифференциациeй meca LGA2514 от meca путем обнаружения lukf-pv и фрагментов гена SPA. У всех 70 исследованных штаммов был обнаружен конкретный фрагмент 16 S rdnk и nuc ген, кодирующий термостабильную нуклеазу Staphylococus aureus, а в 5 из 70 изолятов Staphylococus aureus с помощью двух мультиплекс PCR-анализ обнаружен ген meca. В тестируемых штаммах не обнаружены mecc ген и Пантон-Валентайна лейкоцидин кодирующий ген. С помощью диск-дифузного Cefoxitin-a, латекс аглютационного и два мультиплексных PCR анализов, получены идентичны результаты в идентификации пяти метициллин-резистентных из 70 обследованных штаммов Staphylococus aureus. В нашем исследовании обнаружена абсолютная корреляция между результатами фенотипической и генотипической идентификации метициллин-устойчивого Staphylococus aureus. meca LGA2514 Ключeвые слова: Staphylococus aureus, MRSA, Cefoxitin, мультиплекс PCR, 99
