Dataset Information

Microbiological identification and analysis of Swine lungs collected from carcasses in Swine farms, china.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this 3 years study was to determine the prevalence of porcine pathogens of the lungs of swine in swine farms in southern China. A total of 5,420 samples were collected from 200 swine farms. The bacterium that was most commonly isolated was Streptococcus suis, with 10.24 % of the samples being positive, 114 lungs (2.1 %) were positive for pseudorabies virus and 263 (4.85 %) were positive for classical swine fever virus; much lower than positive for PRRSV (15.1 %, p = 0.023) and PCV2 (13.8 %, p = 0.038). lungs that were positive for PRRSV and/or PCV-2 have significantly increased odds of being positive for any of the S. suis (9.79 vs. 0.44 %, p = 0.003).

Project description:BackgroundIt has been demonstrated that swine waste is an important reservoir for resistant genes. Moreover, the bacteria carrying resistant genes and originating from swine feces and wastewater could spread to the external environment. Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are widely used in livestock and poultry for the treatment of bacterial infection. However, resistance to FQs has increased markedly.ResultsIn this study, swine feces and wastewater were sampled from 21 swine farms of seven provinces in China to investigate the prevalence of FQ resistance, including plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone resistance (PMQR) genes and the occurrence of target mutations. All isolates showed moderate rate of resistance to norfloxacin (43.0%), ciprofloxacin (47.6%), ofloxacin (47.0%) and levofloxacin (38.8%). The percentage of strains resistant to the four FQs antimicrobials was positively correlated with the danofloxacin (DANO) MIC. Among the 74 FQ-resistant isolates, 39 (52.70%) had mutations in gyrA (S83L and D87 to N, Y, G, or H), 21 (28.38%) had mutations in parC (S80I and E84K), 2 (2.70%) had mutations in parE (I355T and L416F), 26 (35.14%) had mutations in marR (D67N and G103S), 1 (1.35%) had mutations in acrR (V29G). While, no mutation was found in gyrB. There were 7 (9.46%) strains carried the qnrS gene, 29 (39.19%) strains carried the oqxAB gene, and 9 (12.16%) strains carried the aac (6')-Ib-cr gene. In addition, the conjugation assays showed that qnrS, oqxAB and aac (6')-Ib-cr could be successfully transferred to E. coli J53 from 4 (57.1%), 20 (69.0%) and 5 (55.6%) donor strains, respectively. There were no qnrA, qnrB, qnrC, qnrD and qepA genes detected.ConclusionThe present study showed that DANO-resistant E. coli strains isolated from swine farms had significant cross-resistance to other four FQs antimicrobials. Further study revealed that the resistance mechanisms of swine-derived E. coli to FQs may be attributable to the occurrence of chromosomal mutations (gyrA, parC, parE, marR and acrR genes double-site or single-site mutation) and the presence of PMQR genes (qnrS, oqxAB and aac (6')-Ib-cr). To the best of our knowledge, one novel mutation marR-D67N was found to be associated with FQ resistance, two mutations parE-L416F and acrR-V29G have never been reported in China.
