High Prevalence of ST131 Subclades C2-H30Rx and C1-M27 Among Extended-Spectrum ?-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Causing Human Extraintestinal Infections in Patients From Two Hospitals of Spain and France During 2015.

ABSTRACT: The present study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of sequence type 131 (ST131) among 188 extended-spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) collected in 2015 in Lucus Augusti University hospital (Lugo, Spain) and AP-HP Beaujon hospital (Clichy, France) with regard to other STs and to characterize, the types of ESBL produced, serotypes, virulence factor (VF)-encoding genes and the ST131 clades and subclades. ST131 was detected in 33 (39.1%) and 46 (47.9%) of the isolates in Lucus Augusti and Beaujon, respectively. The 109 remaining isolates displayed 57 other STs, the following STs being displayed by at least three isolates: ST10 (8 isolates), ST23 (3), ST38 (4), ST58 (3), ST88 (5), ST95 (4), ST167 (3), ST354 (5), ST361 (3), ST410 (6), ST648 (4), ST744 (3), and ST1615 (6). ST354, ST410, and ST1615 were significantly (P < 0.05) more frequent in Lucus Augusti (5.4%, 6.5%, and 6.5%) than in Beaujon (0% for the three STs). The new globally emerging clone ST1193 among extraintestinal clinical ESBL-EC was identified in one isolate from France and one from Spain. CTX-M-15 was the commonest ESBL detected in the two hospitals (44.6% in Lucus Augusti and 50.0% in Beaujon). CTX-M-14 was significantly (P = 0.0003) more frequent in Lucus Augusti (31.5%) than in Beaujon (10.4%), whereas CTX-M-1 (20.8 vs. 7.6%; P = 0.008) and CTX-M-27 (15.6 vs. 6.5%; P = 0.0389) were more frequent in Beaujon than in Lucus Augusti. The ST131 isolates showed a higher virulence score (mean 13.367) compared with the non-ST131 isolates (mean 7.661) (P < 0.001). Among the 79 ST131 isolates, most of them (52; 65.8%) belonged to subclade C2 (also known as subclone H30Rx) followed by those belonging to subclade C1 (cluster C1-M27: 16 isolates, 20.3%; cluster non-C1-M27: 6 isolates, 7.6%) and clade A (4 isolates; 5.1%). The C2 subclade isolates showed a higher VF-encoding gene score (mean 14.250) compared with the C1-M27 cluster isolates (mean 10.875) (P < 0.001). In conclusion, this study highlights the epidemiological differences between the ESBL-EC isolated from two hospitals of France and Spain obtain in 2015 and reports, for the first time, the presence of clone ST1193 in Spain.

Project description:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern in public health, particularly for the clinically relevant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Studies describing ESBL-producing Escherichia coli clinical samples from Finland to the genomic level and investigation of possible zoonotic transmission routes are scarce. This study characterizes ESBL-producing E. coli from clinical samples in Finland using whole genome sequencing (WGS). Comparison is made between animal, food, and environmental sources in Finland to gain insight into potential zoonotic transmission routes and to recognize successful AMR genes, bacterial sequence types (STs), and plasmids. ESBL-producing E. coli isolates (n = 30) obtained from the Eastern Finland healthcare district between 2018 and 2020 underwent WGS and were compared to sequences from non-human and healthy human sources (n = 67) isolated in Finland between 2012 and 2018. A majority of the clinical isolates belonged to ST131 (n = 21; 70%), of which 19 represented O25:H4 and fimH30 allele, and 2 O16:H5 and fimH41 allele. Multidrug resistance was common, and the most common bla gene identified was bla CTX-M-27 (n = 14; 47%) followed by bla CTX-M-15 (n = 10; 33%). bla CTX-M-27 was identified in 13 out of 21 isolates representing ST131, with 12 isolates belonging to a recently discovered international E. coli ST131 C1-M27 subclade. Isolates were found to be genetically distinct from non-human sources with core genome multilocus sequence typing based analysis. Most isolates (n = 26; 87%) possessed multiple replicons, with IncF family plasmids appearing in 27 (90%) and IncI1 in 5 (17%) isolates. IncF[F1:A2:B20] replicon was identified in 11, and IncF[F-:A2:B20] in 4 isolates. The results indicate the ST131-C1-M27 clade gaining prevalence in Europe and provide further evidence of the concerning spread of this globally successful pathogenic clonal group. This study is the first to describe ESBL-producing E. coli in human infections with WGS in Finland and provides important information on global level of the spread of ESBL-producing E. coli belonging to the C1-M27 subclade. The results will help guide public health actions and guide future research.

Project description:Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is a major cause of urinary and bloodstream infections. Its association with extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) significantly complicates treatment. Its best-described component is the rapidly expanding H30Rx clade, containing allele 30 of the type 1 fimbrial adhesin gene fimH This lineage appears to have emerged in the United States and spread around the world in part due to the acquisition of the ESBL-encoding blaCTX-M-15 gene and resistance to fluoroquinolones. However, non-H30 ST131 sublineages with other acquired CTX-M-type resistance genes are also emerging. Based on whole-genome analyses, we describe here the presence of an (fimH) H27 E. coli ST131 sublineage that has recently caused an outbreak of community-acquired bacteremia and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Denmark. This sublineage has acquired both a virulence plasmid (pAA) that defines the enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) diarrheagenic pathotype and multiple genes associated with extraintestinal E. coli (ExPEC); combined, these traits have made this particular ST131 sublineage successful at colonizing its human host and causing recurrent UTI. Moreover, using a historic World Health Organization (WHO) E. coli collection and publicly available genome sequences, we identified a global H27 EAEC ST131 sublineage that dates back as far as 1998. Most H27 EAEC ST131 isolates harbor pAA or pAA-like plasmids, and our analysis strongly implies a single ancestral acquisition among these isolates. These findings illustrate both the profound plasticity of this important pathogenic E. coli ST131 H27 sublineage and genetic acquisitions of EAEC-specific virulence traits that likely confer an enhanced ability to cause intestinal colonization.IMPORTANCEE. coli ST131 is an important extraintestinal pathogenic lineage. A signature characteristic of ST131 is its ability to asymptomatically colonize the gastrointestinal tract and then opportunistically cause extraintestinal infections, such as cystitis, pyelonephritis, and urosepsis. In this study, we identified an ST131 H27 sublineage that has acquired the enteroaggregative diarrheagenic phenotype, spread across multiple continents, and caused multiple outbreaks of community-acquired ESBL-associated bloodstream infections in Denmark. The strain's ability to both cause diarrhea and innocuously colonize the human gastrointestinal tract may facilitate its dissemination and establishment in the community.
