Nine Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates coproducing NDM-1
and OXA-232 carbapenemases were successively isolated
from a single patient. Although they were isolated simultaneously
and were isogenic, they presented different colony
phenotypes (matt and mucoid). All nine isolates were resistant
to most antibiotics except colistin and fosfomycin. In
addition, matt-type isolates were resistant to tigecycline. No
differences were detected in the cps cluster sequences, except
for the insertion of IS5 in the wzb gene of two matt-type isolates.
In vitro virulence assays based on production of capsular
polysaccharide, biofilm formation, and resistance to
human serum indicated that the mucoid-type isolates were
significantly more virulent than the matt-type. In addition,
mucoid-type isolates showed higher survival rates than the
matt-type ones in infection experiments in the fruit fly, suggesting
a higher virulence of K. pneumoniae isolates with a
mucoid phenotype. To our knowledge, this is the first report
of K. pneumoniae colonies with different phenotypes being
isolated from the same sample. In addition, we show that virulence
varies with colony phenotype. Dissemination of K.
pneumoniae isolates expressing both antibiotic resistance
and high virulence would constitute a great threat.

Non-mammalian infection models have been developed over
the last two decades, which is a historic milestone to understand
the molecular basis of bacterial pathogenesis. They also
provide small-scale research platforms for identification of
virulence factors, screening for antibacterial hits, and evaluation
of antibacterial efficacy. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster
is one of the model hosts for a variety of bacterial
pathogens, in that the innate immunity pathways and tissue
physiology are highly similar to those in mammals. We here
present a relatively simple protocol to assess the key aspects
of the polymicrobial interaction in vivo between the human
opportunistic pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus
aureus, which is based on the systemic infection
by needle pricking at the dorsal thorax of the flies. After infection,
fly survival and bacteremia over time for both P.
aeruginosa and S. aureus within the infected flies can be monitored
as a measure of polymicrobial virulence potential.
The infection takes ~24 h including bacterial cultivation. Fly
survival and bacteremia are assessed using the infected flies
that are monitored up to ~60 h post-infection. These methods
can be used to identify presumable as well as unexpected phenotypes
during polymicrobial interaction between P. aeruginosa
and S. aureus mutants, regarding bacterial pathogenesis
and host immunity.
