Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Goldcoast Strains in Taiwan and International Spread of the ST358 Clone.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica serovar Goldcoast infection was rare in Taiwan; it was not detected in routine surveillance from 2004 to 2013. This serovar was first identified in 2014, but the frequency of infection remained low until 2017. From 2014 to 2016, all but one isolate was pan-susceptible. S Goldcoast infections abruptly increased in 2018, and all isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). All MDR isolates harbored an IncHI2 plasmid, and the majority carried 14 antimicrobial resistance genes, aac(3)-IId, aadA22, aph(3')-Ia, aph(6)-Id, bla TEM-1B, bla CTX-M-55, lnu(F), floR, qnrS13, arr-2, sul2, sul3, tet(A), and dfrA14. S Goldcoast strains recovered in Taiwan and 96 of 99 strains from Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States belonged to sequence type 358 (ST358). Whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism and core genome multilocus sequence type analyses revealed that all strains of the ST358 clone shared a high degree of genetic relatedness. The present study highlighted that a dramatic increase in S Goldcoast infections followed the emergence of MDR strains and indicated that a genetically closely related S Goldcoast ST358 clone may have widespread significance internationally.

Project description:In Japan's Kanto region, the number of Salmonella enterica serovar Chester infections increased temporarily between 2014 and 2016. Concurrently with this temporal increase in the Kanto region, S. Chester isolates belonging to one clonal group were causing repetitive outbreaks in Europe. A recent study reported that the European outbreaks were associated with travelers who had been exposed to contaminated food in Morocco, possibly seafood. Because Japan imports a large amount of seafood from Morocco, we aimed to establish whether the temporal increase in S. Chester infections in the Kanto region was associated with imported Moroccan seafood. Short sequence reads from the whole-genome sequencing of 47 S. Chester isolates from people in the Kanto region (2014-2016), and the additional genome sequences from 58 isolates from the European outbreaks, were analyzed. The reads were compared with the complete genome sequence from a S. Chester reference strain, and 347 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. These SNPs were used in this study. Cluster and Bayesian cluster analyses showed that the Japanese and European isolates fell into two different clusters. Therefore, Φ PT and IAS values were calculated to evaluate genetic differences between these clusters. The results revealed that the Japanese and European isolates were genetically distinct populations. Our root-to-tip analysis showed that the Japanese isolates originating from one clone had accumulated mutations, suggesting that an emergence of this organism occurred. A minimum spanning tree analysis demonstrated no correlation between genetic and geographical distances in the Japanese isolates, suggesting that the emergence of the serovar in the Kanto region did not involve person-to-person contact; rather, it occurred through food consumption. The d N /d S ratio indicated that the Japanese strain has evolved under positive selection pressure. Generally, a population of bacterial clones in a reservoir faces negative selection pressure. Therefore, the Japanese strain must have existed outside of any reservoir during its emergence. In conclusion, S. Chester isolates originating from one clone probably emerged in the Kanto region via the consumption of contaminated foods other than imported Moroccan seafood. The emerging strain may have not established a reservoir for survival in the food supply chain resulting in its disappearance after 2017.

Project description:Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis is the most prevalent serovar found in broilers and broiler meat and is among the top five serovars responsible for human infections in Europe. In 2008, a multidrug-resistant S. Infantis isolate emerged in Israel with a mosaic megaplasmid named pESI, associated with increased virulence, biofilm formation, and multidrug resistance. Since then, S. Infantis clones with pESI-like plasmids have been reported worldwide, replacing pESI-free clones. Here, we typed 161 S. Infantis isolates of poultry (n = 133) and human clinical (n = 28) origin using whole-genome sequencing. The isolates were collected between 2007 and 2021. In addition, we performed PacBio/Illumina sequencing for two representative pESI-like plasmids and compared them with publicly available sequences. All isolates belonged to sequence type 32 (ST32), except for one isolate that represented a novel single-locus variant of ST32. Core genome MLST (cgMLST) analysis revealed 14 clusters of genetically closely related isolates, of which four suggested broiler-to-human transmission of S. Infantis. pESI-like plasmids were present in 148/161 (91.9%) isolates; all were highly similar to the publicly available pESI-like sequences but lacked extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes. PacBio/Illumina hybrid assembly allowed the reconstruction of two novel complete pESI variants. The present study revealed that the multidrug-resistant, pESI-positive S. Infantis clone became the predominant S. Infantis clone in Slovenian broilers and humans during the last decade. Continued surveillance of resistant S. Infantis clones along the food chain is needed to guide public health efforts. IMPORTANCE Salmonella Infantis clones with pESI-like plasmids harboring several virulence and resistance genes have been reported worldwide. In the present study, we compared the population structure of 161 Salmonella Infantis isolates obtained from humans and broilers in Slovenia from 2007 to 2021. Whole-genome sequencing showed that most human isolates clustered apart from broiler isolates, suggesting an alternative source of infection. Most isolates were multidrug resistant due to the presence of pESI-like plasmids, of which two variants (pS89 and pS19) were fully reconstructed using long-read sequencing. Both exhibited high similarity with the original Israeli pESI plasmid and German p2747 plasmid. The prototype plasmid pS89 harbored the typical pESI-associated resistance genes aadA1, qacEΔ1, sul1, and tet(A), which were absent in the truncated plasmid pS19.
