Identification of Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-10 in Disinfectant and Antibiotic Resistant Escherichia coli from Disinfected Tableware.

ABSTRACT: The widespread escalation of bacterial resistance threatens the safety of the food chain. To investigate the resistance characteristics of E. coli strains isolated from disinfected tableware against both disinfectants and antibiotics, 311 disinfected tableware samples, including 54 chopsticks, 32 dinner plates, 61 bowls, 11 cups, and three spoons were collected in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China to screen for disinfectant- (benzalkonium chloride and cetylpyridinium chloride) and tigecycline-resistant isolates, which were then subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole genome sequencing (WGS). The coliform-positive detection rate was 51.8% (161/311) and among 161 coliform-positive samples, eight E. coli strains were multidrug-resistant to benzalkonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, ampicillin, and tigecycline. Notably, a recently described mobile colistin resistance gene mcr-10 present on the novel IncFIB-type plasmid of E. coli EC2641 screened was able to successfully transform the resistance. Global phylogenetic analysis revealed E. coli EC2641 clustered together with two clinically disinfectant- and colistin-multidrug-resistant E. coli strains from the US. This is the first report of mcr-10-bearing E. coli detected in disinfected tableware, suggesting that continuous monitoring of resistance genes in the catering industry is essential to understand and respond to the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes from the environment and food to humans and clinics.

Antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli from diarrheic piglets from pig farms in Thailand that harbor colistin-resistant mcr genes.

Project description:Antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli is one of the most serious problems in pig production. This study aimed to determine the antibiotic susceptibility and genotypes profiles of diarrhoeagenic E. coli that causes diarrhea in piglets. Thirty-seven pathogenic E. coli strains were used in this study. These were isolated from rectal swabs of diarrheic piglets from farms in Thailand from 2018 to 2019. Escherichia coli isolates were highly resistant to amoxicillin (100%), followed by oxytetracycline (91.9%), enrofloxacin (89.2%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (86.5%), amoxicillin: clavulanic acid (81.1%), colistin and gentamicin (75.7%), ceftriaxone and ceftiofur (64.9%), ceftazidime (35.1%) and 97.3% showed multidrug-resistance (MDR). There were 8 (21.6%) mcr-1 carriers, 10 (27.0%) mcr-3 carriers and 10 (27.0%) co-occurrent mcr-1 and mcr-3 isolates. The phenotype-genotype correlation of colistin resistance was statistically significant (performed using Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ = 0.853; p < 0.001)). In addition, PCR results determined that 28 of 37 (75.7%) isolates carried the int1 gene, and 85.7% int1-positive isolates also carried the mcr gene. Genetic profiling of E. coli isolates performed by ERIC-PCR showed diverse genetics, differentiated into thirteen groups with 65% similarity. Knowledge of the molecular origins of multidrug-resistant E. coli should be helpful for when attempting to utilize antibiotics in the pig industry. In terms of public health awareness, the possibility of transmitting antibiotic-resistant E. coli from diarrheic piglets to other bacteria in pigs and humans should be of concern.

Colistin exposure enhances expression of eptB in colistin-resistant Escherichia coli co-harboring mcr-1.

Project description:Colistin resistance has increased due to the increasing and inappropriate use of this antibiotic. The mechanism involves modification of lipid A with phosphoethanolamine (PEtN) and/or 4-amino-4deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N). EptA and eptB catalyze the transfer of phosphoethanolamine to lipid A. In this study, gene network was constructed to find the associated genes related to colistin resistance, and further in vitro validation by transcriptional analysis was performed. In silico studies showed that eptB gene is a highly interconnected node in colistin resistance gene network. To ascertain these findings twelve colistin-resistant clinical isolates of Escherichia coli were selected in which five were harboring the plasmid-mediated mcr-1. Screening for colistin resistance was performed by broth microdilution (BMD) method and Rapid polymyxin NP test. PCR confirmed the presence of the eptA and eptB genes in all isolates and five isolates were harboring mcr-1. Transcriptional expression in five isolates harboring mcr-1, showed an enhanced expression of eptB when exposed under sub-inhibitory colistin stress. The present study for the first time highlighted genetic interplay between mcr-1 and eptA and eptB under colistin exposure.

Molecular Epidemiology and Colistin Resistant Mechanism of mcr-Positive and mcr-Negative Clinical Isolated Escherichia coli.

Project description:Transmissible colistin resistance mediated by the mcr gene has been reported worldwide, but clinical isolates of mcr-negative colistin-resistant Escherichia coli are rarely reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of colistin resistance among mcr-positive and mcr-negative E. coli clinical isolates by performing a molecular epidemiological surveillance. For the first time ever, we show nearly the same isolation ratio for mcr-negative and mcr-positive colistin-resistant clinical isolates (47.5 and 52.5%, respectively), with no demonstrable nosocomial transmission. We provide evidence for the prevalence of the mcr-positive IncX4 plasmid and its high potential for horizontal transfer, with no obvious sequence type (ST) preference. In addition, the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of colistin of the mcr-negative E. coli isolates were obviously higher than those of mcr-positive isolates. Apart from the usually detected genes, i.e., pmrAB, phoPQ, and mgrB, other genes may be associated with the colistin resistance in mcr-negative E. coli. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to report the molecular epidemiological surveillance and the proper mechanism of colistin resistance in mcr-negative E. coli clinical isolates. Together, the results show that colistin resistance was prevalent not only in the mcr-positive clinical E. coli isolates but also in the mcr-negative isolates.

Quantitative Release Assessment of mcr-mediated Colistin-resistant Escherichia Coli from Japanese Pigs.

Project description:Colistin is a critically important antibiotic for humans. The Japanese government withdrew colistin growth promoter and shifted therapeutic colistin to a second-choice drug for pigs in 2017. A quantitative release assessment of mcr-mediated colistin-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Japanese finisher pigs was conducted under the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) risk assessment framework. Input data included colistin resistance and mcr-1-5 test results for E. coli isolates in the Japan Veterinary Resistance Monitoring System (JVARM), postal survey results regarding indication disease occurrence and colistin use by swine veterinarians in 2017 and 2018, and colistin resistance and mcr monitoring experiments at four pig farms in 2017-2018. An individual-based model was developed to assess the risk: the proportion of Japanese finisher pigs with mcr-1-5-mediated colistin-resistant E. coli dominant in the gut on an arbitrary day. Before implementing risk management measures, the risk was estimated to be 5.5% (95% CI: 4.2%-10.1%). At 12 months after stopping colistin growth promoter, the proportion of pigs with plasmid-mediated colistin-resistant E. coli declined by 52.5% on the experiment farms (95% CI: 8.7%-80.8%). The probability of therapeutic colistin use at the occurrence of bacterial diarrhea declined from 37.3% (95% CI: 30.3%-42.5%) in 2017 to 31.4% (95% CI: 26.1%-36.9%), and that of edema disease declined from 55.0% (95% CI: 46.0%-63.7%) to 44.4% (95% CI: 36.9%-52.0%). After risk management implementation, the risk was estimated to have declined to 2.3% (95% CI: 1.8%-4.3%; 58.2% reduction). Scenario analyses showed that pen-level colistin treatment effectively reduces the risk from 5.5% to 4.7% (14.5% reduction), an effect similar to stoppage of therapeutic colistin (16.4% reduction to 4.6%).

Colistin-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolate harbouring the mcr-1 gene in Ecuador.

Project description:Colistin resistance mediated by the mcr-1 gene has been reported worldwide, but to date not from the Andean region, South America. We report the first clinical isolate of Escherichia coli harbouring the mcr-1 gene in Ecuador. The strain was isolated from peritoneal fluid from a 14-year-old male with acute appendicitis, and subjected to molecular analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration of colistin for the strain was 8 mg/ml and it was susceptible to carbapenems but resistant to tigecycline. The strain harboured mcr-1 and bla CTX-M-55 genes and was of sequence type 609. The recognition of an apparently commensal strain of E. coli harbouring mcr-1 serves as an alert to the presence in the region of this recently described resistance mechanism to one of the last line of drugs available for the treatment of multi-resistant Gram-negative infections.

Genetic Features of MCR-1-Producing Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates in South Africa.

Project description:A series of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolates was recovered from hospitalized and community patients in South Africa. Seven clonally unrelated isolates harbored the mcr-1 gene located on different plasmid backbones. Two distinct plasmids were fully sequenced, and identical 2,600-bp-long DNA sequences defining a mcr-1 cassette were identified. Promoter sequences responsible for the expression of mcr-1, deduced from the precise identification of the +1 transcription start site for mcr-1, were characterized.

Identification of novel mobile colistin resistance gene <i>mcr-10</i>.

Project description:Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes represent an emerging challenge. Here we describe a novel mcr gene, mcr-10, on an IncFIA plasmid of an Enterobacter roggenkampii clinical strain. mcr-10 has the highest nucleotide identity (79.69%) with mcr-9 and encodes MCR-10 with 82.93% amino acids identical to MCR-9. mcr-10 confers 4-fold increase in colistin MIC (from 1 to 4 mg/L) when cloned into a colistin-susceptible E. roggenkampii strain. By screening GenBank, mcr-10 was found in various Enterobacteriaceae species of countries in four continents, suggesting that this gene has widely spread. MCR-10 shows 79.04% to 83.67% amino acid identity and highly conserved predicted protein structures with chromosomally encoded MCR-like phosphoethanolamine transferases (designated MCR-B here) of various Buttiauxella species. MCR-10, MCR-9 and MCR-B proteins may, therefore, originate from a common ancestor. mcr-10 was adjacent to a site-specific recombinase-encoding gene and was bracketed by IS903 and may be mobilized by site-specific recombination or composite transposon. Our results indicate that mcr-10 is a novel plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene and warrants immediate monitoring and further studies.

Characteristics of a Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli ST695 Harboring the Chromosomally-Encoded mcr-1 Gene.

Project description:Enterobacteriaceae having chromosomally-encoded mcr-1 is rarely reported. In this study, we recovered a chromosomal mcr-1 carrying Escherichia coli, designated HeN100, from the feces of a diarrheal pig in China. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that HeN100 was resistant to three aminoglycosides, twelve ?-lactams including three carbapenems, one phenicol, two tetracyclines, two fluoroquinolones, nitrofurantoin, and colistin tested. Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing revealed that the complete genomes of the multidrug resistant (MDR) HeN100 consisted of a single circular chromosome and five circular plasmids. Bioinformatical analysis determined HeN100 as ST695 and it contained many acquired resistance genes responsible for its MDR phenotypes, including colistin resistance mcr-1 and the carbapenem resistance blaNDM-1, and most of these genes were located on plasmids. However, the mcr-1 was found on the chromosome, and it was located between an IS30-like element ISApl1 and a PAP2-like encoding gene. These three genes consisted of an "ISApl1-mcr-1-orf" segment and inserted in high AT-rich regions. Finally, we found the blaNDM-1 was carried on an IncFII type conjugative plasmid. The conjugation frequency of this plasmid was 7.61? ± 2.11 ?× ?10-5 per recipient, and its conjugation conferred resistance to carbapenems and other ?-lactams, as well as aminoglycosides. The spread of this mcr-1/blaNDM-1-carrying E. coli ST695 represents a great concern of public health.
