Molecular Epidemiology of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli in Food-Producing Animals in China

ABSTRACT: We conducted a molecular surveillance study for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) colonization in food-producing animals in China that included primarily swine and poultry for three consecutive years. A total of 2,771 samples from food-producing animals and their surrounding environments were collected from different regions in China from 2015 to 2017. Enrichment cultures supplemented with meropenem were used to isolate carbapenem non-susceptible isolates and these were subsequently identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Resistance phenotypes and genotypes were confirmed using antimicrobial susceptibility testing and molecular biological techniques. Genomic characteristics of the carbapenemase-producing isolates were investigated using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatic analysis. In total, 88 NDM-positive Enterobacteriaceae were identified from 2,771 samples and 96.6% were Escherichia coli. The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-positive E. coli displayed a diversity of sequence types (ST), and ST48 and ST165 were the most prevalent. Three variants of blaNDM (blaNDM-1, blaNDM-4, and blaNDM-5) were detected and WGS indicated that blaNDM-5 predominated and was carried primarily on IncX3 plasmids. All these isolates were also multiply-drug resistant. These results revealed that food-producing animals in China are an important reservoir for NDM-positive E. coli and pose a potential threat to public health.

Molecular Epidemiology and Genome Dynamics of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strains from India.

Project description:The global dissemination and increasing incidence of carbapenem-resistant, Gram-negative organisms have resulted in acute public health concerns. Here, we present a retrospective multicenter study on molecular characterization of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing clinical Escherichia coli isolates recovered from extraintestinal infections in two hospitals in Pune, India. We screened a large sample size of 510 E. coli isolates for MBL production wherein we profiled their molecular determinants, antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, functional virulence properties, genomic features, and transmission dynamics. Approximately 8% of these isolates were MBL producers, the majority of which were of the NDM-1 (69%) type, followed by NDM-5 (19%), NDM-4 (5.5%), and NDM-7 (5.5%). MBL producers were resistant to all antibiotics tested except for colistin, fosfomycin, and chloramphenicol, which were effective to various extents. Plasmids were found to be an effective means of dissemination of NDM genes and other resistance traits. All MBL producers adhered to and invaded bladder epithelial (T24) cells and demonstrated significant serum resistance. Genomic analysis of MBL-producing E. coli isolates revealed higher resistance but a moderate virulence gene repertoire. A subset of NDM-1-positive E. coli isolates was identified as dominant sequence type 101 (ST101) while two strains belonging to ST167 and ST405 harbored NDM-5. A majority of MBL-producing E. coli strains revealed unique genotypes, suggesting that they were clonally unrelated. Overall, the coexistence of virulence and carbapenem resistance in clinical E. coli isolates is of serious concern. Moreover, the emergence of NDM-1 among the globally dominant E. coli ST101 isolates warrants stringent surveillance and control measures.

Identification of a New Delhi metallo-?-lactamase-4 (NDM-4)-producing Escherichia coli in Italy.

Project description:BACKGROUND: During June-July 2012, six imipenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolates were isolated from two patients hospitalized in a ward of one large tertiary-care hospital in Genoa, Italy. Genetic features associated with blaNDM-4 gene were investigated. RESULTS: The isolates exhibited the same PFGE profile and a multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype to aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and ?-lactams. The strains produced the NDM-4 carbapenemase and the blaNDM-4 gene was part of the variable region of a class 1 integron. MLST analysis revealed that all isolates belonged to sequence type 405 (ST405). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report on the emergence of an MDR strain of E.coli producing the NDM-4 MBL in Italy.

New Delhi metallo-?-lactamase - type carbapenemases producing Escherichia coli isolates from hospitalized patients: A pilot study.

Project description:Resistances to carbapenem group of antimicrobials among Escherichia coli due to production of carbapenemases, especially the New Delhi metallo-?-lactamase (NDM) types, pose serious challenges in the treatment of infections in healthcare settings. This study was undertaken to detect NDM producing E. coli isolates from hospitalized patients with urinary tract infection (UTI).A total of 30 non-repetitive isolates of E. coli from hospitalized patients with clinical suspicion of UTI were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Screening for the production of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBL) was carried out by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test strip ESBL followed by phenotypic confirmation by double-disc synergy test. Phenotypic confirmation of carbapenemase production was carried out by MIC test strip metallo-?-lactamases. Molecular identification of the blaNDM gene was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of the amplified fragment.Seventeen of the 30 isolates were detected as ESBL producers, of which three were found to be carbapenemase producers. NDM genes were detected by PCR followed by gene sequencing in all three isolates positive for ESBL as well as carbapenemase. The amino acid sequence of the three isolates showed complete identity to the reference sequences of NDM-1, NDM-4 and NDM-8, respectively.Our study showed the circulation of NDM variants among the clinical isolates of E. coli that were producers of ESBL as well as carbapenemase.

The Emergence and Molecular Characteristics of New Delhi Metallo <i>β</i>-Lactamase-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> From Ducks in Guangdong, China.

Project description:This study aimed to determine the prevalence and transmission characteristics of New Delhi metallo β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Escherichia coli from ducks in Guangdong, China. In this study, a total of 28 NDM-producing E. coli isolates were recovered from 88 unduplicated diseased duck samples (31.8%) from veterinary clinics in Guangzhou, Foshan, Qingyuan, and Huizhou. Two variants, bla NDM-1 and bla NDM-5, were detected and the latter was present in 89.6% of the isolates (25/28). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis indicated that these E. coli isolates possessed six distinct STs, and ST156 was the most prevalent followed by ST648, ST746, ST354, ST10, and ST162. In addition, phylogenomic analysis found that two of the isolates that were recovered from a single sample possessed different genomes, and the bla NDM-carrying IncX3 plasmids may be horizontal transfer between E. coli isolates in the intestinal tracts of ducks. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis further revealed that bla NDM co-existed with other 25 types of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), of which 16 ARGs were highly prevalent with detection rates >50%, and a high incidence of coproducing bla NDM and mcr-1 E. coli isolates (22/88, 25.0%) was detected in ducks. This study underscores the importance of surveillance for bla NDM-harboring microbes in ducks.

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, United States.

Project description:We characterized 9 New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (5 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 2 Escherichia coli, 1 Enterobacter cloacae, 1 Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg) isolates identified in the United States and cultured from 8 patients in 5 states during April 2009-March 2011. Isolates were resistant to β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides, demonstrated MICs ≤1 µg/mL of colistin and polymyxin, and yielded positive metallo-β-lactamase screening results. Eight isolates had blaNDM-1, and 1 isolate had a novel allele (blaNDM-6). All 8 patients had recently been in India or Pakistan, where 6 received inpatient health care. Plasmids carrying blaNDM frequently carried AmpC or extended spectrum β-lactamase genes. Two K. pneumoniae isolates and a K. pneumoniae isolate from Sweden shared incompatibility group A/C plasmids with indistinguishable restriction patterns and a common blaNDM fragment; all 3 were multilocus sequence type 14. Restriction profiles of the remaining New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase plasmids, including 2 from the same patient, were diverse.

Clinically Relevant Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates From Food Animals in South Korea.

Project description:Extended-spectrum β-lactam antimicrobials have been broadly used in food animals and humans to control infectious diseases. However, the emergence and rapid spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, mainly Escherichia coli, have seriously threatened global health in recent decades. In this study, we determined the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genetic properties of ESBL-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC) strains isolated from food animals in South Korea. A total of 150 fecal samples from healthy chickens (n = 34), pigs (n = 59), and cattle (n = 57) were screened from January to July 2018. Among these, 77 non-duplicate cefotaxime-resistant ESBL-EC strains were isolated from 32 chicken, 41 pig, and 4 cattle samples, with the corresponding occurrence rates of 94.1, 69.5, and 7.0%, respectively. All the isolates showed multidrug resistance (MDR) and produced at least one type of β-lactamase, including CTX-M (98.7%) and TEM (40.3%). CTX-M-14 (53.1%), CTX-M-55 (53.7%), and CTX-M-65 (50.0%) were the predominant genotypes in the chicken, pig, and cattle samples, respectively. Multilocus sequence typing revealed 46 different sequence types (STs), including the human-associated extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli ST131 (n = 2), ST10 (n = 5), ST38 (n = 1), ST410 (n = 4), ST354 (n = 2), ST58 (n = 3), ST117 (n = 1), and ST457 (n = 1). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of pandemic E. coli ST131 in non-human isolates in South Korea. Our results demonstrate the high prevalence and diversity of MDR-ESBL-EC in food animals and highlight them as potential pathogenic ESBL-EC reservoirs that may pose a high risk to human health.
