ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Neisseria meningitidis is associated with invasive infections causing high mortality rates. The objective of this study was to describe the population structure of Colombian invasive isolates with ST-9493, a potentially emerging clonal group in the country. METHODS: The complete genomes of 34 invasive isolates of serogroup B with ST-9493 and its variants at one or two loci were sequenced by Illumina to describe the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of these isolates. RESULTS: The relationship of a clonal group associated with ST-136 CC41/44 was phylogenetically established, identifying two main clades composed of isolates from an outbreak or endemic. The most frequent alleles and peptides included porA 17, porB 44, fHbp 2.24, NHBA 10, and the FetA F5-17 variant. Most of the isolates were susceptible to the antibiotics evaluated. CONCLUSION: This study shows that meningococcal isolates with ST-9493 are an autochthonous clonal group with population dynamics and the capacity to cause endemic and epidemic meningococcal disease in Colombia.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 is an important cause of pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis. OBJECTIVE: To establish the circulating genotypes of S. pneumoniae serotype 3 isolates recovered from the invasive disease between 1994 to 2015 in Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of the 365 S. pneumoniae serotype 3 isolates recovered through the laboratory national surveillance program, 117 isolates were analyzed. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was used for genotyping, and multilocus sequence typing was determined in representative isolates. RESULTS: The frequency of this serotype increased from 2.7% between 1994 and 1998 to 9.1% between 2011 and 2015 (p=0.000); 91.7% of the isolates showed a genetic similarity greater than 77% and were related to the Netherlands3-31(PMEN31) clone CC180. Several subtypes were identified, two of which showed antimicrobial resistance. CONCLUSION: In Colombia, the pneumococcal population of the capsular type 3 shows a continuous and homogeneous circulation relating to the clonal group ST-180.


Introducción. El serotipo 3 de Streptococcus pneumoniae es una causa importante de neumonía, bacteriemia y meningitis. Objetivo. Establecer los genotipos circulantes de aislamientos del serotipo 3 de S. pneumoniae recuperados de muestras de enfermedad invasiva de 1994 a 2015 en Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Se analizaron 117 de los 365 aislamientos del serotipo 3 de S. pneumoniae recuperados del programa nacional de vigilancia por el laboratorio. El genotipo se estableció con electroforesis en gel de campo pulsado y la tipificación se llevó a cabo mediante secuenciación multilocus en aislamientos representativos. Resultados. La frecuencia de este serotipo aumentó de 2,7 % entre 1994 y 1998 a 9,1 % entre 2011 y 2015 (p=0,000). El 91,7 % de los aislamientos evidenció una similitud genética superior al 77 % y se relacionó con el clon CC180 de Netherlands3-31 (PMEN31). Se identificaron varios subtipos, dos de los cuales mostraron resistencia a los antimicrobianos. Conclusión. En Colombia, la población neumocócica del tipo capsular 3 tiene una circulación continua y homogénea relacionada con el grupo clonal ST-180.
