Shortly thereafter, seven additional VCC-1 producing V. cholerae were isolated along the German coastline. These isolates appear to have acquired the VCC-1 gene (bla VCC-1) independently from the Canadian isolate, suggesting bla VCC-1 is mobile and widely distributed. VCC-1 hydrolyzes penicillins, cephalothin, aztreonam, and carbapenems, and like the broadly disseminated class A carbapenemase KPC-2, is only weakly inhibited by clavulanic acid or tazobactam. Although VCC-1 has yet to observed in the clinic, its encroachment into aquaculture and other areas with human activity suggests the enzyme may be emerging as a public health threat. To pre-emptively address this threat, we examined the structural and functional biology of VCC-1 against the FDA approved non-beta-lactam-based inhibitor avibactam. We found that avibactam restored the in vitro sensitivity of V. cholerae to meropenem, impenem and ertapenem. Acylation efficiency was lower for VCC-1 as compared to KPC-2 and akin to that of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 AmpC (k2/Ki=3.0 x 10(3) M(-1)sec(-137)). The tertiary structure of VCC-1 is similar to that of KPC-2 and they bind avibactam similarly; however, our analyses suggest that VCC-1 may be unable to degrade avibactam as has been found for KPC-2. Based on our prior genomics-based surveillance, we were able to target VCC-1 for detailed molecular studies to gain early insights that could be used to combat this carbapenemse in the future.
