Résumé
Through their action on DNA replication, anticancer chemotherapies could increase the basal mutation rate in bacteria and increase the risk of selecting antibiotic resistant mutants. We investigated the impact of several drugs on a beta-lactamase model using KPC-type carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. We studied the impact of anticancer chemotherapies used in pediatric hematologic malignancies on 7 clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae producing KPC-type carbapenemases. We compared the mutation rates from cultures with/without chemotherapy on ceftazidime-avibactam, rifampicin and ceftazidime-avibactam combined with meropenem media. Mechanisms of ceftazidime-avibactam resistance were explored on a subset of mutants. After exposure to some cytotoxic molecules, the bacterial mutation rates leading to ceftazidime-avibactam and to rifampicin resistance increased up to 10-fold while we observed no emergence of resistant mutants (frequency of <10) on a meropenem combined with ceftazidime-avibactam media. Compared to the parental strains, an increased susceptibility to meropenem was observed in the ceftazidime-avibactam resistant mutants. The bla genes of ceftazidime-avibactam mutants harbored either mutations, deletions or insertions, especially in the region encoding the Ω-loop of the KPC-type carbapenemase. Anticancer chemotherapy can increase the mutation rates of bacteria accelerating the extension of KPC-type carbapenemases towards ceftazidime-avibactam, one of the last resort antimicrobial chemotherapy.
