The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the Southwest Indian Ocean islands is poorly known. Here we describe an outbreak of colistin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae harbouring bla(IMI-1) in the French overseas department of Mayotte. Between October 2015 and January 2017, all isolates of imipenem-non-susceptible E. cloacae at Mayotte Medical Center and University Hospital of Reunion Island were screened for carbapenemase production. Positive isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and all ss-lactamase genes were identified by PCR and sequencing. Resistance profiles were determined by agar diffusion and Etest. Genetic support of the bla(IMI-1) gene was determined by WGS. A total of 18 E. cloacae isolates harbouring bla(IMI-1) were detected in 17 patients from Mayotte. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis showed 16 of the 18 strains to be clonally related and belonging to ST820. Based on clinical data, this outbreak most likely had a community origin. The bla(IMI-1) gene in the 18 isolates was carried by a new variant of an integrative mobile element involving the Xer recombinases, called EcloIMEX-8. The mcr-1-mcr-5 genes were absent from the collection. The isolates belonged to E. cloacae cluster XI, known to be colistin heteroresistant. Here we report the first outbreak of IMI-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae. IMI-1-producers may be underdetected in microbiology laboratories because of their unusual antimicrobial resistance profile (resistant to imipenem but with intermediate resistance to ertapenem and susceptible to extended-spectrum cephalosporins) and the absence of bla(IMI-1) in the panel of genes targeted by molecular diagnostic kits.
