Epidemiology of bla _CTX-M-Positive Salmonella Typhimurium From Diarrhoeal Outpatients in Guangdong, China, 2010-2017.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica can lead to intestinal diarrhea, and the emergence and spread of cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella have brought great challenges to clinical treatment. Therefore, this study investigated the prevalence and transmission of bla _CTX-M genes among S. Typhimurium from diarrhoeal outpatients in Guangdong, China, from 2010 to 2017. A total of 221 bla _CTX-M-positive isolates were recovered from 1,263 S. Typhimurium isolates from the facal samples of diarrhoea patients in 45 general hospitals from 11 cities. The most popular CTX-M gene was bla _CTX-M-55 (39.6%, 72/182) in the CTX-M-1 group, followed by bla _CTX-M-14 (22.5%, 41/182) and bla _CTX-M-65 (19.2%, 35/182) in the CTX-M-9 group. The isolates that carried bla _CTX-M-9G had significantly higher resistance rates to multiple antibacterials compared with bla _CTX-M-1G (p < 0.01). Meanwhile, PFGE analysis not only showed the clonal transmission of bla _{CTX-M-55/14/65}-positve isolates of diarrhoeal outpatients' origins from different hospitals in Guangdong province, but also the characteristic of bla _{CTX-M-55/14/65}-positve isolates' bacterial persistence. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis indicated that these S. Typhimurium isolates possessed ST34 and ST19. Furthermore, genomic Beast phylogenomic analysis provided the evidence of a close relationship of bla _CTX-M-positive S. Typhimurium isolates between the outpatients and pork. Most bla _{CTX-M-55/14/65} genes were transmitted by non-typeable or IncI1/IncFII/IncHI2 plasmids with the size of ranging from ~80 to ~280 kb. Moreover, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis further revealed that bla _{CTX-M-55/14/65} coexisted with other 25 types of ARGs, of which 11 ARGs were highly prevalent with the detection rates >50%, and it first reported the emergence of bla _TEM-141 in S. Typhimurium. This study underscores the importance of surveillance for bla _CTX-M-positive microbes in diarrhea patients.

Project description:Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is one of the most prevalent bacterial causes of gastrointestinal infections worldwide. Meanwhile, the detection rate of CTX-M-55 ESBL-positive has increased gradually in China. To identify the molecular epidemiological and genomic characteristics of blaCTX-M-55-carrying nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) clinical isolates, a total of 105 NTS isolates were collected from a Chinese tertiary hospital. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed to determine the resistance phenotype. Whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to determine the antimicrobial resistance genes, serotypes, phylogenetic relationships, and the genetic environment of the blaCTX-M-55 gene. The results showed that among the 22 ceftriaxone resistant isolates, the blaCTX-M-55 was the most common β-Lactamase gene carried by 14 isolates, including serotypes S. Typhimurium (10/14), S. Muenster (2/14), S. Rissen (1/14), and S. Saintpaul (1/14). Phylogenetic analysis shows that 10 blaCTX-M-55-positive S. Typhimurium ST34 isolates were divided into two clusters. The genetic relationship of isolates in each cluster was very close (≤10 cgMLST loci). The blaCTX-M-55 gene was located on the chromosome in 10 isolates, on IncI1 plasmid in three isolates, and IncHI2 plasmid in one isolate. In conclusion, the blaCTX-M-55 gene, mainly located on the chromosome of S. Typhimurium ST34 isolates, was the main driving force associated with the resistance of NTS to cephalosporins. Therefore, close attention to the clonal dissemination of blaCTX-M-55-carrying S. Typhimurium ST34 in clinical settings must be monitored carefully. IMPORTANCE ESCs are the first choice for treating NTS infections. However, ESBLs and AmpC β-lactamases are the most typical cause for ESCs resistance. The CTX-M-55 ESBL-positive rate has gradually increased in the clinic in recent years. At present, the research about blaCTX-M-55-positive Salmonella mainly focuses on the foodborne animals or the environment while less on clinical patients. Thus, this study was carried out for identifying molecular epidemiological and genomic characteristics of blaCTX-M-55-carrying NTS clinical isolates. The results showed that the blaCTX-M-55 gene, mainly located on the chromosome of S. Typhimurium ST34 isolates from Conghua District, was the main driving force associated with the resistance of NTS to cephalosporins. Therefore, our work highlights the importance of monitoring the clonal dissemination of blaCTX-M-55-carrying S. Typhimurium ST34 in clinical settings.

Project description:BackgroundPolymyxins are currently regarded as a possible last-resort therapy to eradicate multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria. Meanwhile, the old antimicrobial agent fosfomycin has recently been reintroduced into clinical use for the treatment of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. This study investigated a multidrug-resistant Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- strain from a food catering handler, which had the potential to act as a vehicle for transmitting MDR foodborne pathogens.MethodsA Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- YZU1189 strain was isolated from the fecal sample of a food catering worker according to the standard protocol of the Salmonella detection method from World Health Organization in 2003. Serotyping of YZU1189 was performed according to the Kauffmann-White scheme. The antimicrobial resistance phenotype of the strain was determined by the agar dilution method according to the instruction from Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Plasmid conjugation was performed between the donor strain Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- YZU1189 and the recipient strain Escherichia coli C600. The genetic locations of mcr-1, bla CTX-M-14 and fosA3 genes were determined by the whole genome sequence analysis.ResultsSalmonella 4,[5],12:i:- YZU1189 was an ESBL-producing stain isolated from a healthy catering worker. The strain displayed resistance to aminoglycosides, beta-lactams, polymyxins, fosfomycins, phenicols, trimethoprims, sulfonamides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. Whole genome sequence analysis and plasmid conjugation revealed that the strain had a transferable IncHI2 plasmid carrying the mcr-1, bla CTX-M-14 and fosA3 genes. Sequence homology analysis showed that this plasmid possessed high sequence similarity to previously reported mcr-1, bla CTX-M-14 and fosA3 positive plasmids in China.ConclusionThis study reported a the multidrug-resistant Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- isolate harboring mcr-1, bla CTX-M-14 and fosA3 from human for the first time in China. The occurrence of mcr-1 and fosA3 genes in the transferable IncHI2 plasmid pYZU1189 from the ESBL-producing Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- isolate showed a potential threat to public health. Great concern should be taken for the spread of multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing Salmonella isolates from food catering workers to consumers.
