Abstrakt: A bacterial species is considered to be intrinsically resistant to an antimicrobial when nearly all of the wild-type isolates (i.e., those without acquired resistance) exhibit minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values that are sufficiently high such that susceptibility testing is unnecessary, and that the antimicrobial should not be considered for therapy. Accordingly, knowledge of intrinsic resistance influences both the selection of treatment regimens and the approach to susceptibility testing in the clinical laboratory, where unexpected results also facilitate the recognition of microbial identification or susceptibility testing errors. Previously, limited data have suggested that Hafnia spp. may be intrinsically resistant to colistin. We evaluated the in vitro activity of colistin against 119 Hafniaceae that were isolated from human samples: 75 (63%) from routine clinical cultures and 44 (37%) from stool samples of travelers undergoing screening for antimicrobial resistant organisms. Broth microdilution colistin MICs were ≥4 μg/mL for 117 of 119 (98%) isolates. Whole-genome sequencing of 96 of the isolates demonstrated that the colistin-resistant phenotype was not lineage-specific. 2 of the 96 (2%) isolates harbored mobile colistin resistance genes. Compared to whole-genome sequencing, VITEK MS matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and VITEK 2 GN ID failed to consistently distinguish between Hafnia alvei, Hafnia paralvei, and Obesumbacterium proteus. In conclusion, using a reference antimicrobial susceptibility testing method and a genetically diverse collection of isolates, we found Hafnia spp. to be intrinsically resistant to colistin. The recognition of this phenotype will help inform rational approaches by which to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing and therapy for patients with infections that are caused by Hafnia spp.
