Monitoring of Non-?-Lactam Antibiotic Resistance-Associated Genes in ESBL Producing Enterobacterales Isolates.

ABSTRACT: Genetic context of extended spectrum ?-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacterales and its association with plasmid mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR), aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AME) and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) resistance is little known from North India. Therefore, the current study was aimed to investigate the frequency of Non-?-Lactam antibiotic resistance associated genes in extended spectrum ?-Lactamase producing Enterobacterales. For this study, Non-Duplicate phenotypically confirmed ESBL producing Enterobacterales isolates (N = 186) were analyzed for ESBLs, PMQRs, AMEs and TMP-SMX resistance genes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR detected presence of PMQR genes in 81.29% (N = 139) of ESBL isolates (N = 171), AME genes in 60.82% and TMP-SMX resistance genes in 63.74% of the isolates. Molecular characterization of ESBL producing Enterobacterales showed 84.79% bla_TEM followed by 73.68% bla_CTX-M, 43.86% bla_SHV, 19.88% bla_PER and 9.94% bla_VEB, respectively. Analysis of PMQR genes revealed 77.7% aac(6')-lb-cr the most commonly detected gene followed by 67.63% oqxB, 62.59% oqxA, 43.17% qnrB, 19.42% qnrD, 18.7% qnrS, 9.35% qnrA, 3.6% qepA and 2.88% qnrC, respectively. Analysis of AMEs gene profile demonstrated 81.73% aac(6')-Ib, the most frequently encountered gene followed by 46.15% aph(3')-Ia, 44.23% ant(3")-Ia, respectively. A 100% prevalence of sul1, followed by dfrA (54.63%) and sul2 (15.74%) was observed. In summary, prevalence of ESBL-Producing genes (particularly bla_TEM and bla_CTX-M) along with PMQR, AMEs, and TMP-SMX resistant genes may potentially aid in the transfer of antimicrobial resistance among these strains.

Project description:Quantitative data on fecal shedding of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are crucial to assess the risk of transmission from dogs to humans. Our first objective was to investigate the prevalence of quinolone/fluoroquinolone-resistant and beta-lactam-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in dogs in France and Spain. Due to the particular concern about possible transmission of extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-resistant isolates from dogs to their owners, we characterized the ESBL/pAmpC producers collected from dogs. Rectal swabs from 188 dogs, without signs of diarrhea and that had not received antimicrobials for 4 weeks before the study, were quantified for total and resistant Enterobacteriaceae on selective media alone or containing relevant antibiotic concentrations. Information that might explain antibiotic resistance was collected for each dog. Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant isolates were subjected to bacterial species identification (API20E), genetic lineage characterization (MLST), ESBL/pAmpC genes identification (sequencing), and plasmid characterization (pMLST). Regarding beta-lactam resistance, amoxicillin- (AMX) and cefotaxime- (CTX) resistant Enterobacteriaceae were detected in 70 and 18% of the dogs, respectively, whereas for quinolone/fluoroquinolone-resistance, Nalidixic acid- (NAL) and ciprofloxacin- (CIP) resistant Enterobacteriaceae were detected in 36 and 18% of the dogs, respectively. Medical rather than preventive consultation was a risk marker for the presence of NAL and CIP resistance. CTX resistance was mainly due to a combination of specific ESBL/pAmpC genes and particular conjugative plasmids already identified in human patients: bla CTX-M-1/IncI1/ST3 (n = 4), bla CMY-2/IncI1/ST12 (n = 2), and bla CTX-M-15/IncI1/ST31 (n = 1). bla SHV-12 (n = 3) was detected in various plasmid lineages (InI1/ST3, IncI1/ST26, and IncFII). ESBL/pAmpC plasmids were located in different genetic lineages of E. coli, with the exception of two strains in France (ST6998) and two in Spain (ST602). Our study highlights dogs as a potential source of Q/FQ-resistant and ESBL/pAmpC-producing bacteria that might further disseminate to humans, and notably a serious risk of future acquisition of CTX-M-1 and CMY-2 plasmids by the owners of dogs.

Project description:PurposeCarbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are subject to intense global monitoring in an attempt to maintain awareness of prevalent and emerging resistance mechanisms and to inform treatment and infection prevention strategies. CRE and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are not usually examined collectively in regards to their shared pool of resistance determinants. Here, we genetically and phenotypically assess clinical isolates of CRE and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales in the growing region of Central Texas, where CRE are emergent and occurrence of non-carbapenemase-producing-CRE (non-CP-CRE) infections is increasing.MethodsCRE (n=16) and ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (n=116) isolates were acquired from a regional hospital in Central Texas between December 2018 and January 2020. Isolates were assessed genetically and phenotypically using antibiotic susceptibility testing, targeted PCR, and whole genome sequencing.ResultsCRE infections are increasing in incidence in Central Texas, and Klebsiella pneumoniae is causing the majority of these infections. Moreover, K. pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 307 is commonly found among both non-CP-CRE and EBSL-producing strains. Isolates carry similar plasmids harboring the gene for the ESBL CTX-M-15 and belong to the global lineage, rather than the Texas lineage, of ST307. Antibiotic resistance profiles, sequence data, and clinical records suggest that porin mutations may promote the transition of ST307 isolates from ESBL-producing to non-CP-CRE. In addition to antibiotic resistance mechanisms, several CRE isolates harbor active colicinogenic plasmids, which might influence the competitiveness of these bacteria during patient colonization.ConclusionK. pneumoniae of the global ST307 lineage is circulating in Central Texas and is responsible for both non-CP CRE and ESBL-producing Enterobacterales infections. Enhanced surveillance is needed to understand the possible routes for the emergence of non-CP-CRE from EBSL-producing strains.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Knowledge on the molecular epidemiology of Escherichia coli causing E. coli bacteremia (ECB) in the Netherlands is mostly based on extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-Ec). We determined differences in clonality and resistance and virulence gene (VG) content between non-ESBL-producing E. coli (non-ESBL-Ec) and ESBL-Ec isolates from ECB episodes with different epidemiological characteristics. METHODS:A random selection of non-ESBL-Ec isolates as well as all available ESBL-Ec blood isolates was obtained from two Dutch hospitals between 2014 and 2016. Whole genome sequencing was performed to infer sequence types (STs), serotypes, acquired antibiotic resistance genes and VG scores, based on presence of 49 predefined putative pathogenic VG. RESULTS:ST73 was most prevalent among the 212 non-ESBL-Ec (N = 26, 12.3%) and ST131 among the 69 ESBL-Ec (N = 30, 43.5%). Prevalence of ST131 among non-ESBL-Ec was 10.4% (N = 22, P value < .001 compared to ESBL-Ec). O25:H4 was the most common serotype in both non-ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Ec. Median acquired resistance gene counts were 1 (IQR 1-6) and 7 (IQR 4-9) for non-ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Ec, respectively (P value < .001). Among non-ESBL-Ec, acquired resistance gene count was highest among blood isolates from a primary gastro-intestinal focus (median 4, IQR 1-8). Median VG scores were 13 (IQR 9-20) and 12 (IQR 8-14) for non-ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Ec, respectively (P value = .002). VG scores among non-ESBL-Ec from a primary urinary focus (median 15, IQR 11-21) were higher compared to non-ESBL-Ec from a primary gastro-intestinal (median 10, IQR 5-13) or hepatic-biliary focus (median 11, IQR 5-18) (P values = .007 and .04, respectively). VG content varied between different E. coli STs. CONCLUSIONS:Non-ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Ec blood isolates from two Dutch hospitals differed in clonal distribution, resistance gene and VG content. Also, resistance gene and VG content differed between non-ESBL-Ec from different primary foci of ECB.
