Draft genomes of four multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gammaproteobacteria from biofilm on hemodialysis catheters in Gujarat, India

Key Points

Multidrug-resistant bacteria were isolated from biofilm on hemodialysis catheters, indicating serious infection risks.
Key findings show multiple antibiotic-resistant gene cassettes linked to these Gammaproteobacteria.
Whole-genome analysis was performed to predict antibiotic resistance mechanisms in the identified bacteria.
Highlights the pressing need for monitoring antibiotic resistance in clinical settings for better patient outcomes.

Abstract

Four Gram-negative bacteria, viz. Pseudomonas aeruginosa HLCHRFS30, Klebsiella quasipneumoniae HLCHRUS36A, Enterobacter bugandensis HLCHRUS49, and Acinetobacter haemolyticus HLCHRUS74 were isolated from the biofilm of the catheter tip of 152 renal failure patients. Multiple antibiotic-resistant gene cassettes were predicted by whole-genome analysis of these Gammaproteobacteria to develop antibiotic resistance.
