Project description:Escherichia coli carrying bla CTX-M- 1 mediating resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins was recently described as a new genotype in Norwegian broiler production. The aim of this study was to characterize these isolates (n = 31) in order to determine whether the emergence of the genotype was caused by clonal expansion or horizontal dissemination of bla CTX-M- 1-carrying plasmids. All included isolates were subjected to whole genome sequencing. Plasmid transferability was determined by conjugation, and plasmid replicons in the transconjugants were described using PCR-based replicon typing. Plasmid sizes were determined using S1 nuclease digestion. Plasmids in a subset of strains were reconstructed and compared to plasmids from broiler production in other European countries. The isolates belonged to nine different sequence types (STs), with the largest group being ST57 (n = 12). The vast majority of bla CTX-M- 1-carrying plasmids were conjugative. All transconjugants were positive for the IncI1-Iγ replicon, and several also harbored the IncFIB replicon. Highly similar plasmids were present in different E. coli STs. Additionally, high similarity to previously published plasmids was detected. A reconstructed plasmid from an ST57 isolate harbored both IncI1-Iγ and IncFIB replicons and was considered to be co-integrated. The presence of one large plasmid was confirmed by S1 nuclease digestion. Our results show that dissemination of bla CTX-M- 1 in Norwegian broiler production is due to both clonal expansion and horizontal transfer of plasmids carrying bla CTX-M- 1. The bla CTX-M- 1/IncI1-Iγ plasmids grouped into two main lineages, namely clonal complex (CC)-3 and CC-7. The genetic diversity at both strain and plasmid level indicates multiple introductions to Norway. We also show that the bla CTX-M- 1 plasmids circulating in Norwegian broiler production are highly similar to plasmids previously described in other countries.

Project description:Transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes has increased the global prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria, especially in developing countries. Human infection with these bacteria may be food-mediated but has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to examine ESBL-producing bacteria in edible river fish and elucidate their potential for horizontal gene transfer. A total of 173 ESBL-producing Enterobacterales were isolated (Escherichia coli [n = 87], Klebsiella pneumoniae [n = 52], Enterobacter cloacae complex [n = 18], Citrobacter freundii complex [n = 14], Atlantibacter hermannii [n = 1] and Serratia fonticola [n = 1]) from 56 of 80 fish intestinal contents sampled. Among the bacterial bla CTX-M genotypes, bla CTX-M-55 was the most predominant, followed by bla CTX-M-15, bla CTX-M-27, and bla CTX-M-65. Furthermore, we found that ESBL-producing Enterobacterales were able to transfer their bla CTX-M genes to E. coli. In summary, our results suggest that ESBL-producing Enterobacterales transfer bla CTX-M to indigenous gut E. coli in humans, following the consumption of contaminated fish.

Project description:Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) have been classified in the group of resistant bacteria of highest priority. We determined the prevalence of ESBL-E collected in feces from household and shelter pets in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). A single rectal swab was taken from 125 dogs and 60 cats between June and September 2019. The prevalence of fecal carriage of ESBL-E was 7.6% (14/185, 95% CI: 4.2-12.4), within the range observed worldwide. The only risk factor associated with a higher prevalence of ESBL-E rectal carriage was a stay in a shelter, suggesting that refuges could be hotspots for their acquisition. All but one (Klebsiella pneumoniae from a cat) were Escherichia coli. We noted the presence of a bla CTX-M-1/IncI1-Iγ/sequence type (ST3) plasmid in 11 ESBL-producing E. coli isolates belonging to ST328 (n = 6), ST155 (n = 4) and ST953 (n = 1). A bla CTX-M-15 gene was identified in the three remaining ESBL-E isolates. The bla CTX-M-1 and most of the antimicrobial resistance genes were present in a well-conserved large conjugative IncI1-Iγ/ST3 plasmid characterized by two accessory regions containing antibiotic resistance genes. The plasmid has been detected worldwide in E. coli isolates from humans and several animal species, such as food-producing animals, wild birds and pets, and from the environment. This study shows the potential role of pets as a reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria or genes for humans and underlines the importance of basic hygiene measures by owners of companion animals.

Project description:ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to characterize sets of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae collected longitudinally from different flocks of broiler breeders, meconium of 1-day-old broilers from theses breeder flocks, as well as from these broiler flocks before slaughter.MethodsFive sets of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli were studied by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), phylogenetic grouping, PCR-based replicon typing and resistance profiling. The bla CTX-M-1-harboring plasmids of one set (pHV295.1, pHV114.1, and pHV292.1) were fully sequenced and subjected to comparative analysis.ResultsEleven different MLST sequence types (ST) were identified with ST1056 the predominant one, isolated in all five sets either on the broiler breeder or meconium level. Plasmid sequencing revealed that bla CTX-M-1 was carried by highly similar IncI1/ST3 plasmids that were 105 076 bp, 110 997 bp, and 117 269 bp in size, respectively.ConclusionsThe fact that genetically similar IncI1/ST3 plasmids were found in ESBL-producing E. coli of different MLST types isolated at the different levels in the broiler production pyramid provides strong evidence for a vertical transmission of these plasmids from a common source (nucleus poultry flocks).

Project description:Escherichia coli sequence type 405 is an emerging antibiotic-resistant clonal group associated with the global dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli. In this study, we report the genome assembly and characterization of a uropathogenic E. coli ST405 strain, SZESBLEC201, based on long and short reads obtained from the Nanopore and Illumina sequencing platforms, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that SZESBLEC201 harbors a 5,020,403 bp chromosome and three plasmids, namely, pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-2, and pSZESBLEC201-3. pSZESBLEC201-1 (111,621 bp) belongs to the IncFIA-FIB type and harbors bla CTX-M-15. However, this plasmid does not harbor conjugative transfer-associated genes, rendering pSZESBLEC201-1 unable to be conjugatively transferred. pSZESBLEC201-2 (95,138 bp) is a phage-like plasmid that shows a strong genome synteny with Escherichia phage P1 but with the absence of mobile genetic elements and some regulatory genes. pSZESBLEC201-3 (92,865 bp) belongs to the IncI1 type and carries bla CTX-M-24. In contrast to pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-3 retains its full active conjugation machinery and can be transferred via conjugation. The genetic features of the genome show that the SZESBLEC201 has a unique virulence pattern compared with genetically similar strains found in the same country (China). The plasmid backbones exhibit a high degree of similarity to those of geographically distant isolates, highlighting the global spread of bla CTX-M genes and the genome plasticity of this clonal group. The coexistence of two bla CTX-M variants in the same strain increases the risk of the emergence of new bla CTX-M variants. Further studies on phage-like plasmids are necessary to provide insights into their biological activities and clinical significance.

Project description:BackgroundIn a previous nationwide survey in the Lebanese broiler production, multidrug-resistant CTX-M-producing E. coli were found to carry the mobile colistin resistance gene mcr-1.ObjectivesTo investigate the mobile genetic supports responsible for the spread of these resistance genes among E. coli in healthy broilers in Lebanon.MethodsThirty-three bla CTX-M and mcr-1 positive E. coli of various sequence types from 17 broilers farms were subjected to conjugation assays. Long-read sequencing (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) and hybrid assembly were performed to determine complete plasmid sequences and their phylogenetic diversity.ResultsTwenty-nine conjugative IncFII plasmids harboured the extended-spectrum β-lactamase genes bla CTX-M-3 (n = 25) or bla CTX-M-55 (n = 4). Highly related IncF2:A-:B-/bla CTX-M-3 plasmids differing only through IS-mediated genetic rearrangements in antibiotic resistance gene clusters were found in genetically diverse E. coli strains isolated from distant farms. The mobile colistin resistance genes mcr-1.1 and mcr-1.26 were carried by IncX4 and IncI2 plasmids. Worryingly, in one isolate, the ISEcp1-bla CTX-M-55 transposable unit was found integrated in a mcr-1.26-carrying IncX4 plasmid. Beside expanded cephalosporins and colistin resistances, all E. coli isolates were multidrug-resistant with different additional resistances against aminoglycosides, (fluoro)quinolones, fosfomycin, phenicols, sulphonamides, tetracycline and trimethoprim.ConclusionsClosely related blaCTX-M-3/55-borne IncF2:A-:B- plasmids harbouring variable MDR regions and mcr-1 carrying IncX4 plasmids are widely disseminated in the E. coli population of healthy broilers in Lebanon. Further surveillance programmes of antimicrobial resistance and interventions to reduce the abusive use of medically important antibiotics are necessary to limit the spread of resistances in food-producing animals in Lebanon.

Project description:Although the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales remains low in Japan, these bacteria are a growing problem worldwide, owing to their multidrug resistance phenotype. We isolated a multidrug-resistant Providencia rettgeri strain, NR1418, harboring a rare blaIMP variant, blaIMP-70, a novel blaCTX-M variant, designated blaCTX-M-253, and blaMOX-1. This strain is resistant to β-lactams, amikacin, levofloxacin, and colistin. Genomic analysis revealed that NR1418 carries two plasmids, designated pNR1418-1 and pNR1418-2. The pNR1418-1 plasmid harbors blaCTX-M-253, blaTEM-1, and blaMOX-1, while the pNR1418-2 plasmid harbors blaIMP-70, which is located in a class 1 integron. Both plasmids exhibit high similarities with the plasmid of the P. rettgeri isolate BML2526, which also harbors blaIMP-70 and was identified in the same region of Japan as NR1418 at a different point in time. This indicates the possibility of the emergence and evolution of IMP-70-producing P. rettgeri and suggests that the plasmid of BML2526 may have occurred following recombination of the two plasmids harbored by NR1418. Further, blaIMP-70 and blaCTX-M-253 were found on unique plasmids, indicating that they likely evolved through mutations and recombination. IMPORTANCE Although Providencia rettgeri is an opportunistic pathogen, its intrinsic resistance to colistin and tigecycline makes the treatment of carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri challenging. We isolated a multidrug-resistant P. rettgeri strain which harbored a rare blaIMP variant, blaIMP-70, a novel blaCTX-M variant, blaCTX-M-253, and blaMOX-1 from a urinary sample obtained in Osaka, Japan. We investigated its genetic structure and evaluated the evolution of the plasmids carrying these genes. We show that blaIMP-70, blaCTX-M-253, and blaMOX-1 are present on unique plasmids and that they have high similarities to the plasmid of another IMP-70-producing P. rettgeri isolate that was identified as being from the same location. The evolution of plasmids through mutations and recombination may play a role in the development and spread of multidrug resistance.

Project description:In this study, an IncI1 plasmid encoding resistance to both cefotaxime and azithromycin was recovered from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain. The azithromycin resistance was confirmed to be mediated by the erm(B) gene. This plasmid could be readily conjugated to strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella, promoting rapid dissemination of azithromycin- and ceftriaxone-resistance-encoding elements among Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Transmission of this plasmid in Salmonella is of particular concern, since it could mediate expression of phenotypic resistance to azithromycin and ceftriaxone, which are the current choices for treatment of Salmonella infections. Our findings suggest a need to monitor the efficiency and pattern of transmission of this plasmid among key Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. IMPORTANCE Since the approval by the FDA of azithromycin for treatment of Salmonella infections, efforts have been made to monitor the development of resistance to azithromycin in these organisms. In this study, we report an IncI1 plasmid from a clinical K. pneumoniae strain that encodes resistance to both cefotaxime and azithromycin. This plasmid could be readily conjugated to strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella, promoting rapid dissemination of azithromycin- and ceftriaxone-resistance-encoding elements among Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, data from this study confirmed for the first time the role of the erm(B) gene in mediating resistance to azithromycin in various bacterial species, particularly Salmonella.

Project description:The objective of this study was to elucidate the genetic and evolutionary relatedness of blaCMY-2- and blaSHV-12-carrying IncI1-Iγ plasmids. Phylogenomic analysis based on core genome alignments and gene presence/absence was performed for different IncI1-Iγ sequence types (STs). Most IncI1-Iγ/ST12 and IncI1-Iγ/ST231 plasmids had near-identical core genomes. The data suggest that widely occurring blaCMY-2-carrying IncI1-Iγ/ST12 plasmids originate from a common ancestor. In contrast, blaSHV-12 was inserted independently into different IncI1-Iγ/ST231-related plasmids.
