Abstract

Insertion sequences (ISs) and other transposable elements are associated with the mobilization of antibiotic resistance determinants and the modulation of pathogenic characteristics. In this work, we aimed to investigate the association between ISs and antibiotic resistance genes, and their role in the dissemination and modification of the antibiotic-resistant phenotype. To that end, we leveraged fully resolved and genomes of isolates collected over 5 days from an inpatient with prolonged bacteraemia. Isolates from both species harboured similar IS family content but showed significant species-dependent differences in copy number and arrangements of ISs throughout their replicons. Here, we describe two inter-specific IS-mediated recombination events and IS-mediated excision events in plasmids of isolates. We also characterize a novel arrangement of the ISs in a Tn1546-like transposon in isolates likely implicated in a vancomycin genotype–phenotype discrepancy. Furthermore, an extended analysis revealed a novel association between daptomycin resistance mutations in genes and a putative composite transposon in , offering a new paradigm for the study of daptomycin resistance and novel insights into its dissemination. In conclusion, our study highlights the role ISs and other transposable elements play in the rapid adaptation and response to clinically relevant stresses such as aggressive antibiotic treatment in enterococci.
