OBJECTIVES: Fosfomycin resistance has become a clinical concern. In this study, we analysed the dynamic change of fosfomycin MIC in the epidemic Staphylococcus aureus lineages in a teaching hospital in Shanghai for 12â
years and sought to elucidate the major underlying mechanisms. METHODS: MLST was conducted for 4580 S. aureus isolates recovered from 2008 to 2019. Fosfomycin MIC was determined by the agar dilution method. The genome data of 230 S. aureus epidemic lineage isolates were acquired from a next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform. Gene deletion and corresponding complementation mutants were constructed to confirm the mechanism of fosfomycin resistance. RESULTS: The predominant S. aureus lineages during the past 12â
years were ST5 and ST239 (45.6%; 2090/4580). However, ST5 has been spreading clinically, while ST239 has gradually disappeared recently. Consistent with epidemic trends, fosfomycin-resistant ST5 increased from 19.5% to 67.3%. Most fosfomycin-resistant ST5 isolates (92.7%; 647/698) possessed high-level resistance (MICâ>â1024â
mg/L) with combined mutations mainly in glpT and uhpT. In contrast, fosfomycin-resistant ST239 isolates (76.8%; 149/194) mainly acquired low-level resistance (MICâ=â64-128â
mg/L) with mutation primarily in hptA. Deletion of a single resistant gene merely resulted in low-level fosfomycin resistance, while double-gene mutants ΔglpTΔuhpT, ΔglpTΔhptA and ΔglpTΔhptR acquired high-level fosfomycin resistance. CONCLUSIONS: The high-level fosfomycin resistance of S. aureus epidemic lineage ST5 is mainly due to the accumulation of mutations in the resistant genes related to membrane transporter systems, and partly contributes to its persistent prevalence under clinical antibiotic pressure.
