RESUMO

Background: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are caused by microbial invasion of healthy or damaged skin. SSTIs are difficult to manage and contribute to chronicity and emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Objectives: To ascertain the prevalence of bacteria causing SSTIs and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Methods: A prospective study between November 2020 and May 2021. A total of 447 samples from SSTIs were analyzed. Results: A total of 347 samples revealed mono-bacterial growth, of which 67% were male. SSTIs are common among patients aged 21-50 years with the dominance (78%) of gram-negative rods (GNRs). Escherichia coli (36%), Klebsiella spp. (22%), Staphylococcus aureus (16%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11%) were predominant organisms. GNRs were highly resistant (>65%) to ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. For injectable antibiotics, the highest resistance was determined against ceftriaxone, and the least resistance was determined against amikacin. Resistance against carbapenem was the highest among P. aeruginosa (53%) and Klebsiella spp. (32%). S. aureus showed the highest resistance against ciprofloxacin, and the least resistance was determined against clindamycin. Of 57 S. aureus isolates, 86% isolates were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). All isolates of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were sensitive to polymyxin B and vancomycin, respectively. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant E. coli and Klebsiella spp. was higher among deep-seated SSTIs (dSSTIs). Conclusions: The predominant etiology of SSTIs is GNR. Currently, there is very high resistance against oral antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance against carbapenem has also increased. Moreover, there is a high frequency of MRSA. MDR E. coli and Klebsiella spp. isolates are frequently involved in dSSTIs.

RESUMO

Chrysobacterium indologenes is an emerging MDR pathogen that belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae. The genome of the C. indologenes, isolated from the nephrotic patient, was sequenced through Illumina MiSeq. The pangenomics of available 56 C. indologenes strains using BPGA revealed an open pangenome (n=5553 CDS), core genome (2141), and accessory genome (2013). The CEG/DEG database identified 662 essential genes that drastically reduced to 68 genes after non-homology analyses towards human and gut microbiome. Further filtering the data for other drug target prioritizing parameters resulted in 32 putative targets. Keeping in view the crucial role played in cell wall biosynthesis, dacB was selected as the final target that encodes D-alanyl-d-alanine carboxypeptidase/endopeptidase (DD-peptidase). The 3D structure of dacB was modelled and rendered to docking analyses against two compound libraries of African plants (n=6842) and Tibetan medicines (n=52). The ADMET profiling exhibited the physicochemical properties of final compounds. The MD simulations showed the stability of inhibitor-DD-peptidase complex and interactions in terms of RMSD, RMSF, binding free energy calculation and H-bonding. We propose that the novel compounds Leptopene and ZINC95486338 from our findings might be potent DD-peptidase inhibitors that could aid in the development of new antibiotic-resistant therapy for the emerging MDR C. indologenes.
