Abstract
To analyze the genomic characteristics of multi-drug resistant of non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae ST1565 from sepsis cases. An 88 years old male patient admitted to Huashan Hospital in Shanghai on July 2, 2025, who was retrospectively analyzed. The clinical diagnosis was severe bacterial enteritis and secondary NOVC sepsis. Blood culture confirmed the presence of non-O1/non-O139 group Vibrio cholerae. The strain was a multidrug-resistant isolated of ST1565 as determined by whole-genome sequencing. The ResFinder database predicted 11 resistance genes for 6 classes of antibiotics: qnrVC5, sul2, floR, tet(59), aph(6)-Id, aph(3'')-Ib, dfrA15, dfrA31, almE, almF, and almG. Except for the quinolone qnrVC5, which was not expressed, the other resistance genes were consistent matched the phenotypic results. Additionally, 8 insertion sequences were identified: ISVch1, ISVvu4, ISVch6, ISVvu8, ISVpa3, ISVpa4, ISVsa3, and ISShfr9. Important virulence factors included 3 secreted protein toxin genes: Vibrio cholerae hemolysin, repeat toxin, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermostable direct hemolysin. The patient was cured after sequential treatment with meropenem, levofloxacin, and doxycycline. NOVC/ST1565 is a newly identified sequence type in China, which exhibits multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent phenotypes.
