Phenotypic and Genotypic Traits of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci from Healthy Food-Producing Animals.

Project description:Food-producing animals may be a reservoir of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), potentially posing a threat to animal and public health. The aims of this study were to estimate the faecal carriage of VRE among healthy cattle (n = 362), pigs (n = 350), sheep (n = 218), and poultry (n = 102 flocks) in Switzerland, and to characterise phenotypic and genotypic traits of the isolates. VRE were isolated from caecum content of six bovine, and 12 porcine samples respectively, and from pooled faecal matter collected from 16 poultry flock samples. All isolates harboured vanA. Three different types of Tn1546-like elements carrying the vanA operon were identified. Conjugal transfer of vanA to human Enterococcus faecalis strain JH2-2 was observed for porcine isolates only. Resistance to tetracycline and erythromycin was frequent among the isolates. Our data show that VRE harbouring vanA are present in healthy food-producing animals. The vanA gene from porcine isolates was transferable to other enterococci and these isolates might play a role in the dissemination of VRE in the food production chain.

Discussion of Kallus (2020) and Mo et al (2020).

Project description:We discuss the results on improving the generalizability of individualized treatment rule following the work in Kallus [1] and Mo et al. [5]. We note that the advocated weights in Kallus [1] are connected to the efficient score of the contrast function. We further propose a likelihood-ratio-based method (LR-ITR) to accommodate covariate shifts, and compare it to the CTE-DR-ITR method proposed in Mo et al. [5]. We provide the upper-bound on the risk function of the target population when both the covariate shift and the contrast function shift are present. Numerical studies show that LR-ITR can outperform CTE-DR-ITR when there is only covariate shift.

Emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in Australia: phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of isolates.

Project description:Enterococci with resistance to glycopeptides have recently emerged in Australia. We developed multiplex PCR assays for vanA, vanB, vanC1, and vanC2 or vanC3 in order to examine the genetic basis for vancomycin resistance in Australian isolates of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and E. faecalis (VRE). The predominant genotype from human clinical E. faecium isolates was vanB. The PCR van genotype was consistent with the resistance phenotype in all but six cases. One vanA E. faecalis isolate had a VanB phenotype, one vanB E. faecium isolate had a VanA phenotype, and four E. faecalis isolates were consistently negative for vanA, vanB, vanC1, and vanC2 or vanC3, even though they exhibited a VanB phenotype. These four isolates were subsequently examined for the presence of vanD by published methods and were found to be negative. No vancomycin-susceptible strains produced a PCR product. On the basis of our findings the epidemiology of VRE in Australia appears to be different from that in either the United States or Europe. Our multiplex PCR assays gave a rapid and accurate method for determining the genotype and confirming the identification of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci. Rapid and accurate methods are essential, because laboratory-based surveillance is critical in programs for the detection, control, and prevention of the transmission of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci.
