OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In this study, we aim to report the role of porins and blaCTX-M β-lactamases among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, focusing on emerging carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) subtypes, including non-carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (NCPE) and ertapenem-resistant but meropenem-susceptible (ErMs) strains. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Whole genome sequencing was conducted on 76 carbapenem-resistant isolates across 5 hospitals in San Antonio, U.S. Among these, NCP isolates accounted for the majority of CRE (41/76). Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results were collected from the clinical charts. Repeat speciation was determined through whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis and repeat AST, performed with microdilution or ETEST®. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were consistent with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI M100, ED33). WGS and qPCR were used to characterize the resistome of all clinical CRE subtypes, while western blotting and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) were used to determine porin expression and carbapenem hydrolysis, respectively. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: blaCTX-Mwas found to be most prevalent among NCP isolates (p = 0.02). LC-MS/MS analysis of carbapenem hydrolysis revealed that blaCTX-M-mediated carbapenem hydrolysis, indicating the need to reappraise the term, “non-carbapenemase (NCP)®” for quantitatively uncharacterized CRE strains harboring blaCTX-M. Susceptibility results showed that 56% of all NCPE isolates had an ErMs phenotype (NCPE vs. CPE, p < 0.001), with E. coli driving the phenotype (E. coli vs. K. pneumoniae, p < 0.001). ErMs strains carrying blaCTX-M, had 4-fold more copies of blaCTX-M than ceftriaxone-resistant but ertapenem-susceptible isolates (3.7 v. 0.9, p < 0.001). Immunoblot analysis demonstrated the absence of OmpC expression in NCP-ErMs E. coli, with 92% of strains lacking full contig coverage ofompC. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Overall, this work provides evidence of a collaborative effort between blaCTX-M and OmpC in NCP strains that confer resistance to ertapenem but not meropenem. Clinically, CRE subtypes are not readily appreciated, potentially leading to mismanagement of CRE infected patients. A greater focus on optimal treatments for CRE subtypes is needed.
