Salmonellaenterica serovar Kentucky is an emergent human pathogen. Human infection with ciprofloxacin-resistant S. enterica Kentucky ST198 has been reported in Europe and North America as a consequence of travel to Asia/the Middle East. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study reporting the identification of this epidemic clone in India and South Asia. ...[more]

Project description:A screening for non-target mutations affecting fluoroquinolone susceptibility was conducted in epidemic multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky ST198. Among a panel of representative isolates (n = 27), covering the epidemic, only three showed distinct mutations in ramR resulting in enhanced expression of genes encoding the AcrAB-TolC efflux system and low increase in ciprofloxacin MIC. No mutations were detected in other regulatory regions of this efflux system. Ciprofloxacin resistance in serovar Kentucky ST198 is thus currently mainly due to multiple target gene mutations.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky (S. Kentucky) with sequence type (ST) 198 and highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (ST198-Cip R ) has emerged as a global MDR clone, posing a threat to public health. In the present study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was applied to characterize all Cip R S. Kentucky detected in five Spanish hospitals during 2009-2018. All Cip R isolates (n = 13) were ST198 and carried point mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of both gyrA (resulting in Ser83Phe and Asp87Gly, Asp87Asn, or Asp87Tyr substitutions in GyrA) and parC (with Thr57Ser and Ser80Ile substitutions in ParC). Resistances to other antibiotics (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline), mediated by the bla TEM- 1 B , catA1, aacA5, aadA7, strA, strB, sul1, and tet(A) genes, and arranged in different combinations, were also observed. Analysis of the genetic environment of the latter resistance genes revealed the presence of multiple variants of SGI1 (Salmonella genomic island 1)-K and SGI1-P, where all these resistance genes except catA1 were placed. IS26 elements, found at multiple locations within the SGI1 variants, have probably played a crucial role in their generation. Despite the wide diversity of SGI1-K- and SGI1-P-like structures, phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between isolates from different hospitals, which were separated by a minimum of two and a maximum of 160 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Considering that S. enterica isolates resistant to fluoroquinolones belong to the high priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria compiled by the World Health Organization, continuous surveillance of the S. Kentucky ST198-CIP R clone is required.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky (S. Kentucky) sequence type 198 has emerged as a global zoonotic pathogen. We explored Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky ST198 samples from the broiler chicken supply chain and patients between 2010 and 2016. Here, we collected 180 S. Kentucky isolates from clinical cases and the poultry supply chain. We performed XbaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing. We assessed mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions and screened for the presence of the Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1). We determined that 63 (35.0%) of the 180 isolates were S. Kentucky ST198. Chinese strains of S. Kentucky ST198 have a high transmission of ciprofloxacin resistance (38/63, 60.3%) and a high risk of multidrug resistance. The quinolone resistance of the S. Kentucky ST198 strain found in China may be due to mutations in its quinolone resistance-determining region. Our study firstly revealed that ciprofloxacin-resistant S. Kentucky ST198 strains can undergo cross-host transmission, thereby causing a serious foodborne public health problem in China.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serotype Kentucky can be a common causative agent of salmonellosis, usually associated with consumption of contaminated poultry. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to multiple drugs, including ciprofloxacin, is an emerging problem within this serotype. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the phylogenetic structure and AMR content of 121 S.enterica serotype Kentucky sequence type 198 isolates from five continents. Population structure was inferred using phylogenomic analysis and whole genomes were compared to investigate changes in gene content, with a focus on acquired AMR genes. Our analysis showed that multidrug-resistant (MDR) S.enterica serotype Kentucky isolates belonged to a single lineage, which we estimate emerged circa 1989 following the acquisition of the AMR-associated Salmonella genomic island (SGI) 1 (variant SGI1-K) conferring resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, gentamicin, sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline. Phylogeographical analysis indicates this clone emerged in Egypt before disseminating into Northern, Southern and Western Africa, then to the Middle East, Asia and the European Union. The MDR clone has since accumulated various substitution mutations in the quinolone-resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of DNA gyrase (gyrA) and DNA topoisomerase IV (parC), such that most strains carry three QRDR mutations which together confer resistance to ciprofloxacin. The majority of AMR genes in the S. enterica serotype Kentucky genomes were carried either on plasmids or SGI structures. Remarkably, each genome of the MDR clone carried a different SGI1-K derivative structure; this variation could be attributed to IS26-mediated insertions and deletions, which appear to have hampered previous attempts to trace the clone's evolution using sub-WGS resolution approaches. Several different AMR plasmids were also identified, encoding resistance to chloramphenicol, third-generation cephalosporins, carbapenems and/or azithromycin. These results indicate that most MDR S. enterica serotype Kentucky circulating globally result from the clonal expansion of a single lineage that acquired chromosomal AMR genes 30 years ago, and has continued to diversify and accumulate additional resistances to last-line oral antimicrobials.

Project description:Salmonella Kentucky is commonly found in poultry and rarely associated with human disease. However, a multidrug-resistant (MDR) S. Kentucky clone [sequence type (ST)198] has been increasingly reported globally in humans and animals. Our aim here was to assess if the recently reported increase of S. Kentucky in poultry in Spain was associated with the ST198 clone and to characterize this MDR clone and its distribution in Spain. Sixty-six isolates retrieved from turkey, laying hen and broiler in 2011-2017 were subjected to whole-genome sequencing to assess their sequence type, genetic relatedness, and presence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons and virulence factors. Thirteen strains were further analysed using long-read sequencing technologies to characterize the genetic background associated with ARGs. All isolates belonged to the ST198 clone and were grouped in three clades associated with the presence of a specific point mutation in the gyrA gene, their geographical origin and isolation year. All strains carried between one and 16 ARGs whose presence correlated with the resistance phenotype to between two and eight antimicrobials. The ARGs were located in the Salmonella genomic island (SGI-1) and in some cases (bla SHV-12 , catA1, cmlA1, dfrA and multiple aminoglycoside-resistance genes) in IncHI2/IncI1 plasmids, some of which were consistently detected in different years/farms in certain regions, suggesting they could persist over time. Our results indicate that the MDR S. Kentucky ST198 is present in all investigated poultry hosts in Spain, and that certain strains also carry additional plasmid-mediated ARGs, thus increasing its potential public health significance.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky ST198 is a major health threat due to its resistance to ciprofloxacin and several other drugs, including third-generation cephalosporins. Many drug-resistant genes have been identified in the Salmonella genomic island 1 variant K (SGI1-K). In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profile and genotypic relatedness of two isolates of ciprofloxacin-resistant (CIPR) S. Kentucky ST198 from poultry in Northeastern Thailand. We successfully assembled the complete genomes of both isolates, namely SSSE-01 and SSSE-03, using hybrid de novo assembly of both short- and long-read sequence data. The complete genomes revealed their highly similar genomic structures and a novel variant of SGI1-K underlying multidrug-resistant (MDR) patterns, including the presence of blaTEM-1b, which confers resistance to beta-lactams, including cephalosporins and lnu(F) which confers resistance to lincomycin and other lincosamides. In addition, the chromosomal mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) were found at positions 83 (Ser83Phe) and 87 (Asp87Asn) of GyrA and at positions 57 (Thr57Ser) and 80 (Ser80Ile) of ParC suggesting high resistance to ciprofloxacin. We also compared SSSE-01 and SSSE-03 with publicly available complete genome data and revealed significant variations in SGI1-K genetic structures and variable relationships to antibiotic resistance. In comparison to the other isolates, SGI1-K of SSSE-01 and SSSE-03 had a relatively large deletion in the backbone, spanning from S011 (traG∆) to S027 (resG), and the inversion of the IS26-S044∆-yidY segment. Their MDR region was characterized by the inversion of a large segment, including the mer operon and the relocation of IntI1 and several resistance genes downstream of the IS26-S044∆-yidY segment. These structural changes were likely mediated by the recombination of IS26. The findings broaden our understanding of the possible evolution pathway of SGI1-K in fostering drug resistance, which may provide opportunities to control these MDR strains.IMPORTANCEThe emergence of ciprofloxacin-resistant (CIPR) Salmonella Kentucky ST198 globally has raised significant concerns. This study focuses on two poultry isolates from Thailand, revealing a distinct Salmonella genomic island 1 variant K (SGI1-K) genetic structure. Remarkably, multiple antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were identified within the SGI1-K as well as other locations in the chromosome, but not in plasmids. Comparing the SGI1-K genetic structures among global and even within-country isolates unveiled substantial variations. Intriguingly, certain isolates lacked ARGs within the SGI1-K, while others had ARGs relocated outside. The presence of chromosomal extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes and lincosamide resistance, lnu(F), gene, could potentially inform the choices of the treatment of CIPRS. Kentucky ST198 infections in humans. This study highlights the importance of understanding the diverse genetic structures of SGI1-K and emphasizes the role of animals and humans in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Project description:Salmonella, which is widely distributed in nature, is an important zoonotic pathogen affecting humans, livestock, and other animals. Salmonella infection not only hinders the development of livestock and poultry-related industries but also poses a great threat to human health. In this study, we collected 1,537 samples including weak chicks, dead embryos, fecal samples and environmental samples from 2020 to 2023 (for a period of 1 to 2 months per year) to keep a long-term monitor the prevalence of Salmonella in an intensive laying hen farm, 105 Salmonella strains were isolated with an isolation rate of 6.83% (105/1,537). It revealed a significant decrease in prevalence rates of Salmonella over time (P < 0.001). Before 2020, the predominant serotype was S. Enteritidis. S. Kentucky was first detected in November 2020 and its proportion was gradually found to exceed that of S. Enteritidis since then. S. Kentucky isolates were distributed in various links of the four regions in the poultry farm. A total of 55 S. Kentucky strains, were assigned to ST198 based on whole genome sequencing. Among them, 54 strains were resistant to 12 to 16 antibiotics, indicating that they were extensively drug-resistant (XDR). Seventeen antimicrobial resistance genes were detected in 55 S. Kentucky isolates. For most of these isolates, antibiotic resistance phenotypes were concordant with their genotypes. All S. Kentucky strains isolated from this farm in 2020 to 2023 showed a high similarity based on their core-genome SNP-based phylogeny. The traceability analysis revealed that S. Kentucky was introduced to the farm through newly purchased flocks. The long-term existence of XDR S. Kentucky ST198 poses a substantial risk because of the multiage management and circulation of workers in this poultry farm. Thus, this study is the first to report extensively drug-resistant S. Kentucky ST198 detected in this intensive poultry farm in China.

Project description:The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted on 174 single isolates from poultry farms in Serbia and it was determined that seven Salmonella spp. were multidrug resistant. Sixteen serotypes were detected, but only serotype Infantis confirmed reduced susceptibility to colistin. Seven colistin resistant Salmonella Infantis were studied in detail using the WGS approach. Three sequence types were identified corresponding to different epizootiology region. The isolate from the Province of Vojvodina 3842 and isolates from Jagodina (92 and 821) are represented by the sequence type ST413 and ST11, respectively. Four isolates from Kraljevo are ST32, a common S. Infantis sequence type in humans, poultry and food. The fosfomycin resistance gene fosA7 in isolate 3842 and the vgaA gene in isolate 8418/2948 encoding resistance to pleuromutilins were reported for the first time in serovar Infantis. The changes in relative expression of the phoP/Q, mgrB and pmrA/B genes were detected. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the pmrB gene, including transitions Val164Gly or Val164Met, and Arg92Pro are described. Analyses of quinolone resistance determining region revealed substitutions Ser83Tyr in GyrA protein and Thr57Ser and Ser80Arg in ParC protein. Based on WGS data, there are two major clusters among analyzed Salmonella Infantis isolates from central Serbia.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A is increasingly a cause of enteric fever. Sequence analysis of an Indian isolate showed a unique strain with high-level resistance to ciprofloxacin associated with double mutations in the DNA gyrase subunit gyrA (Ser83-->Phe and Asp87-->Gly) and a mutation in topoisomerase IV subunit parC (Ser80-->Arg).
