520920.8824Complete Nucleotide Sequence of pGA45, a 140,698-bp IncFIIY Plasmid Encoding bla IMI-3-Mediated Carbapenem Resistance, from River Sediment. Plasmid pGA45 was isolated from the sediments of Haihe River using Escherichia coli CV601 (gfp-tagged) as recipients and indigenous bacteria from sediment as donors. This plasmid confers reduced susceptibility to imipenem which belongs to carbapenem group. Plasmid pGA45 was fully sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system. The complete sequence of plasmid pGA45 was 140,698 bp in length with an average G + C content of 52.03%. Sequence analysis shows that pGA45 belongs to IncFIIY group and harbors a backbone region which shares high homology and gene synteny to several other IncF plasmids including pNDM1_EC14653, pYDC644, pNDM-Ec1GN574, pRJF866, pKOX_NDM1, and pP10164-NDM. In addition to the backbone region, plasmid pGA45 harbors two notable features including one bla IMI-3-containing region and one type VI secretion system region. The bla IMI-3-containing region is responsible for bacteria carbapenem resistance and the type VI secretion system region is probably involved in bacteria virulence, respectively. Plasmid pGA45 represents the first complete nucleotide sequence of the bla IMI-harboring plasmid from environment sample and the sequencing of this plasmid provided insight into the architecture used for the dissemination of bla IMI carbapenemase genes.201626941718

Presence of plasmids was not found.202235864877
139640.8806Genomic Characterization of hlyF-positive Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli, Italy and the Netherlands, 2000-2019. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O80:H2 has emerged in Europe as a cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with bacteremia. STEC O80:H2 harbors the mosaic plasmid pR444_A, which combines several virulence genes, including hlyF and antimicrobial resistance genes. pR444_A is found in some extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains. We identified and characterized 53 STEC strains with ExPEC-associated virulence genes isolated in Italy and the Netherlands during 2000-2019. The isolates belong to 2 major populations: 1 belongs to sequence type 301 and harbors diverse stx(2) subtypes, the intimin variant eae-ξ, and pO157-like and pR444_A plasmids; 1 consists of strains belonging to various sequence types, some of which lack the pO157 plasmid, the locus of enterocyte effacement, and the antimicrobial resistance-encoding region. Our results showed that STEC strains harboring ExPEC-associated virulence genes can include multiple serotypes and that the pR444_A plasmid can be acquired and mobilized by STEC strains.202133622476

No genes of concern for safety-related traits such as antimicrobial resistance or virulence factors were found. The annotated genome and raw sequence reads were deposited at NCBI under Bioproject with the accession number PRJNA791753.202235310818
122460.8799Prevalence, antibiotic resistance patterns and molecular characterization of Escherichia coli from Austrian sandpits. The aim was to determine the prevalence of E. coli and coliform bacteria in playground sand of all public children's sandpits in Graz (n = 45), Austria, and to assess the frequency of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli. Molecular characterization included the discrimination of O-serotypes and H-antigens and the determination of virulence and resistance genes, using a microarray technology. E. coli isolates were tested for susceptibility to a set of antibiotics by VITEK2 system and disk diffusion method. In total, 22 (49%) and 44 (98%) sandpits were positive for E. coli and coliform bacteria. Median concentrations of E. coli and coliform bacteria in the sand samples were: 2.6 × 10(4) CFU/100 g and 3.0 × 10(5) CFU/100 g. Resistance rates were: ampicillin, 12.5%; piperacillin, 10.4%; amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, 9.4%; cotrimoxazole, 6.3%; tetracycline, 6.3%; piperacillin/tazobactam, 5.2%. No ESBL- or carbapenemase-producing isolates were found. The most prevalent serogroups were O15, O6 and O4. Isolates harbored 0 up to 16 different virulence genes.201425089889
122670.8799Multi-drug resistant gram-negative enteric bacteria isolated from flies at Chengdu Airport, China. We collected flies from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport to examine for the presence of bacteria and to determine the sensitivity patterns of those bacteria. A total of 1,228 flies were collected from 6 sites around Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport from April to September 2011. The predominant species was Chrysomya megacephala (n=276, 22.5%). Antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative enteric bacteria (n=48) were isolated from flies using MacConkey agar supplemented with cephalothin (20 microg/ml). These were identified as Escherichia coli (n=37), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=6), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=3) and Aeromonas hydrophila (n=2). All isolated bacteria were tested for resistance to 21 commonly used antimicrobials: amoxicillin (100%), ticarcillin (100%), cephalothin (100%), cefuroxime (100%), ceftazidime 1 (93.8%), piperacillin (93.8%), cefotaxime (89.6%), ticarcillin-clavulanate (81.3%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (62.5%), ciprofloxacin (54.2%), gentamicin (45.8%), cefepime (39.6%), tobramycin (39.6%), ceftazidime (22.9%), cefoxitin (16.7%), amikacin (16.7%), netilmicin (14.6%), amoxicillin-clavulanate (6.3%) and piperacillin-tazobactam (2.1%). No resistance to meropenem or imipenem was observed. Antibiotic resistance genes among the isolated bacteria were analyzed for by polymerase chain reaction. Thirty of the 48 bacteria with resistance (62.5%) possessed the blaTEM gene.201324450236
113580.8797OXA-48-Producing Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Sequence Type 127, the Netherlands, 2015-2022. During 2015-2022, a genetic cluster of OXA-48-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli sequence type 127 spread throughout the Netherlands. The 20 isolates we investigated originated mainly from urine, belonged to Clermont phylotype B2, and carried 18 genes encoding putative uropathogenicity factors. The isolates were susceptible to first-choice antimicrobial drugs for urinary tract infections.202337987600
122790.8793Antibiotic resistance among coliform bacteria isolated from carcasses of commercially slaughtered chickens. A total of 322 coliform bacteria Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp., Klebsiella spp. and Serratia spp., were isolated from 50 carcasses of commercially slaughtered chickens. Their resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, cephalotine, cotrimoxazole, nalidixic acid and nitrofurantoin, were determined. The most commonly found resistance was to tetracycline followed by cephalotine, cotrimoxazole and nalidixic acid. A large percentage of E. coli (41%) and Klebsiella spp. (38%) showed multiple antibiotic resistance.19902282290
1388100.8793Snapshot Study of Whole Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli from Healthy Companion Animals, Livestock, Wildlife, Humans and Food in Italy. Animals, humans and food are all interconnected sources of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), allowing extensive and rapid exchange of AMR bacteria and genes. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to characterize 279 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from animals (livestock, companion animals, wildlife), food and humans in Italy. E. coli predominantly belonged to commensal phylogroups B1 (46.6%) and A (29%) using the original Clermont criteria. One hundred and thirty-six sequence types (STs) were observed, including different pandemic (ST69, ST95, ST131) and emerging (ST10, ST23, ST58, ST117, ST405, ST648) extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) lineages. Eight antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and five chromosomal mutations conferring resistance to highest priority critically important antimicrobials (HP-CIAs) were identified (qnrS1, qnrB19, mcr-1, bla(CTX-M1,15,55), bla(CMY-2), gyrA/parC/parE, ampC and pmrB). Twenty-two class 1 integron arrangements in 34 strains were characterized and 11 ARGs were designated as intI1 related gene cassettes (aadA1, aadA2, aadA5, aad23, ant2_Ia, dfrA1, dfrA7, dfrA14, dfrA12, dfrA17, cmlA1). Notably, most intI1 positive strains belonged to rabbit (38%) and poultry (24%) sources. Three rabbit samples carried the mcr-1 colistin resistance gene in association with IS6 family insertion elements. Poultry meat harbored some of the most prominent ExPEC STs, including ST131, ST69, ST10, ST23, and ST117. Wildlife showed a high average number of virulence-associated genes (VAGs) (mean = 10), mostly associated with an ExPEC pathotype and some predominant ExPEC lineages (ST23, ST117, ST648) were identified.202033172096
1391110.8792Faecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing and AmpC β-lactamase-producing bacteria among Danish army recruits. During May and June 2008, 84 Danish army recruits were tested for faecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and AmpC β-lactamase-producing bacteria. Three ESBL-producing (CTX-M-14a) Escherichia coli isolates, two AmpC-producing (CMY-2) E. coli isolates and one AmpC-producing (CMY-34) Citrobacter freundii isolate were detected. Two of the CTX-M-14a E. coli isolates had similar pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing profiles, indicating the same origin or transmission between the two army recruits. The bla(CTX-M-14a) genes were transferable to an E. coli recipient. These commensal bacteria therefore constitute a reservoir of resistance genes that can be transferred to other pathogenic bacteria in the intestine.201120718802
1221120.8791Invasive whistling frogs (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) act as a reservoir for antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Latin America's most populous city. Invasive species represent a significant threat to ecological balance and the maintenance of native populations. Besides, these have been associated with the emergence of pathogens of public health importance, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to screen and describe the antimicrobial resistance profile of clinically important Enterobacteriaceae species isolated from whistling frogs (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei), an invasive anuran species in São Paulo, Brazil. Clinically relevant Enterobacteriaceae strains (n = 35) were isolated from oral and skin swabs of 19 whistling frogs and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility and antimicrobial resistance encoding genes. Resistance to amoxicillin + clavulanate and cefoxitin were the most frequent (16.67%; 4/24), followed by cefotaxime (5.71%; 2/35), ceftriaxone (2.86%; 1/35), and tetracycline (2.86%; 1/35). Among the antimicrobial resistance genes screened, bla(CTX-M group 8), bla(TEM), and bla(CMY) were identified. The whole genome of the bla(CTX-M group 8)-positive E. coli strain was assessed and confirmed bla(CTX-M-8) presence and phylogenetic analysis. Given the synanthropic behavior of whistling frogs, these amphibians may act as carriers of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.202540884707
1440130.8791High prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli ST410 from clinical isolates in Weifang, China. The objective of our work is to identify antimicrobial-resistance genes and to analyze clonality of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli. A total of 75 carbapenem-resistant E. coli (CREco) strains were isolated in a Chinese hospital from January 2021 to May 2023. The antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted by BD PhoenixTM M50 System and Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Antimicrobial resistance genes were identified based on NCBI with ABRicate 0.8. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis for CREco was performed. Among the 75 CREco strains in this study, the most of them were isolated from urine samples (n = 20, 26.67%) at the intensive care unit (n = 14, 18.67%). Among the detected carbapenem resistance genes, blaNDM-5 was the most prevalent (n = 57, 76.00%), followed by blaNDM-4 (n = 3, 4.00%), blaNDM-9 (n = 3, 4.00%), and blaNDM-1 (n = 2, 2.67%). In addition, the colistin resistance gene mcr-1.1 (n = 11, 14.67%) and the tigecycline resistance gene tetX4 (n = 2, 2.67%) were also detected. The results of MLST revealed 25 sequence types (STs), and ST410 (n = 17) was the dominant clone. Other major STs included ST167 (n = 12), ST156 (n = 10), ST361 (n = 5), and ST101 (n = 4). Overall, CREco strains exhibited a high-level resistance rate to commonly used antimicrobial agents, and the most of them carried various NDM-coding genes, with blaNDM-5 being the predominant type. In this study, we demonstrated the diversity of carbapenem-resistant E. coli; however, the major clone was ST410. These results also show the dissemination of different clones of carbapenem-resistant E. coli.202540531574
1505140.8791New insights on mcr-1-harboring plasmids from human clinical Escherichia coli isolates. Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes were described recently in Gram-negative bacteria including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. There are ten mcr genes described in different Gram-negative bacteria, however, Escherichia coli harboring mcr-1 gene is by far the most frequent combination. In Argentina, mcr-1 gene was characterized only on plasmids belonging to IncI2 group. The aim of this work was to get new insights of mcr-1-harboring plasmids from E. coli. Eight E. coli isolates from a larger collection of 192 clinical E. coli isolates carrying the mcr-1 gene were sequenced using next generation technologies. Three isolates belonged to ST131 high-risk clone, and five to single ST, ST38, ST46, ST226, ST224, and ST405. Eight diverse mcr-1-harboring plasmids were analyzed: IncI2 (1), IncX4 (3), IncHI2/2A (3) and a hybrid IncFIA/HI1A/HI1B (1) plasmid. Plasmids belonging to the IncI2 (n = 1) and IncX4 (n = 3) groups showed high similarity with previously described plasmids. Two IncHI2/HI2A plasmids, showed high identity between them, while the third, showed several differences including additional resistance genes like tet(A) and floR. One IncFIA/H1A/H1B hybrid plasmid was characterized, highly similar to pSRC27-H, a prototype plasmid lacking mcr genes. mcr-1.5 variant was found in four plasmids with three different Inc groups: IncI2, IncHI2/HI2A and the hybrid FIA/HI1A/HI1B plasmid. mcr-1.5 variant is almost exclusively described in our country and with a high frequency. In addition, six E. coli isolates carried three allelic variants codifying for CTX-M-type extended-spectrum-β-lactamases: blaCTX-M-2 (3), blaCTX-M-65 (2), and blaCTX-M-14 (1). It is the first description of mcr-1 harboring plasmids different to IncI2 group in our country. These results represents new insights about mcr-1 harboring plasmids recovered from E. coli human samples from Argentina, showing different plasmid backbones and resistance gene combinations.202438408071
1398150.8790Association of Phylogenomic Relatedness among Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strains with Antimicrobial Resistance, Austria, 2016-2020. We investigated genomic determinants of antimicrobial resistance in 1,318 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated in Austria during 2016-2020. Sequence type (ST) 9363 and ST11422 isolates had high rates of azithromycin resistance, and ST7363 isolates correlated with cephalosporin resistance. These results underline the benefit of genomic surveillance for antimicrobial resistance monitoring.202235876744
1235160.8790Characterization of integrons and antimicrobial resistance genes in clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from Palestinian hospitals. Sixty Gram-negative bacterial isolates were collected from Palestinian hospitals in 2006. Thirty-two (53.3%) isolates showed multidrug resistance phenotypes. PCR and DNA sequencing were used to characterize integrons and antimicrobial resistance genes. PCR screening showed that 19 (31.7%) and five (8.3%) isolates were positive for class 1 and class 2 integrons, respectively. DNA-sequencing results for the captured antimicrobial resistance gene cassettes within class 1 integrons identified the following genes: dihydrofolate reductases, dfrA1, dfrA5, dfrA7, dfrA12, dfrA17 and dfrA25; aminoglycoside adenyltransferases, aadA1, aadA2, aadA5, aadA12 and aadB; aminoglycoside acetyltransferase, aac(6')-Ib; and chloramphenicol resistance gene, cmlA1. ESBL were identified in 25 (41.7%) isolates. The identified ESBL were bla(CTX-M-15), bla(CTX-M-56), bla(OXA-1), bla(SHV-1), bla(SHV-12), bla(SHV-32) and bla(TEM-1) genes. Moreover, we characterized the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes, aac(6')-Ib-cr and qnrB2, which were detected in seven (11.7%) and two (3.3%) isolates, respectively. In this study various types of antibiotic resistance genes have been identified in Gram-negative bacteria from Palestinian hospitals, many of which are reported in the Middle East area for the first time.200919903259
1236170.8790Molecular characterization of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from bovine mastitis in Egypt. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic basis of multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from bovine mastitis cases in Egypt. Multidrug resistance phenotypes were found in 34 of 112 (30.4%) Gram-negative bacterial isolates, which harbored at least one antimicrobial resistance gene. The most prevalent multidrug-resistant (MDR) species were Enterobacter cloacae (8 isolates, 7.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (7 isolates, 6.3%), Klebsiella oxytoca (7 isolates, 6.3%), Escherichia coli (5 isolates, 4.5%), and Citrobacter freundii (3 isolates, 2.7%). The most commonly observed resistance phenotypes were against ampicillin (97.0%), streptomycin (94.1%), tetracycline (91.2%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (88.2%), nalidixic acid (85.3%), and chloramphenicol (76.5%). Class 1 integrons were detected in 28 (25.0%) isolates. The gene cassettes within class 1 integrons included those encoding resistance to trimethoprim (dfrA1, dfrA5, dfrA7, dfrA12, dfrA15, dfrA17, and dfrA25), aminoglycosides (aadA1, aadA2, aadA5, aadA7, aadA12, aadA22, and aac(3)-Id), chloramphenicol (cmlA), erythromycin (ereA2), and rifampicin (arr-3). Class 2 integrons were identified in 6 isolates (5.4%) with three different profiles. Furthermore, the β-lactamase encoding genes, bla(TEM), bla(SHV), bla(CTX-M), and bla(OXA), the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes, qnr and aac(6)-Ib-cr, and the florfenicol resistance gene, floR, were also identified. To the best of our knowledge, the results identified class 2 integrons, qnr and aac(6)-Ib-cr from cases of mastitis for the first time. This is the first report of molecular characterization for antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from bovine mastitis in Africa.201121338385
1223180.8790Characterization of Escherichia coli virulence genes, pathotypes and antibiotic resistance properties in diarrheic calves in Iran. BACKGROUND: Calf diarrhea is a major economic concern in bovine industry all around the world. This study was carried out in order to investigate distribution of virulence genes, pathotypes, serogroups and antibiotic resistance properties of Escherichia coli isolated from diarrheic calves. RESULTS: Totally, 76.45% of 824 diarrheic fecal samples collected from Isfahan, Chaharmahal, Fars and Khuzestan provinces, Iran were positive for E. coli and all of them were also positive for cnf2, hlyA, cdtIII, f17c, lt, st, stx1, eae, ehly, stx2 and cnf1 virulence genes. Chaharmahal had the highest prevalence of STEC (84.61%), while Isfahan had the lowest (71.95%). E. coli serogroups had the highest frequency in 1-7 days old calves and winter season. Distribution of ETEC, EHEC, AEEC and NTEC pathotypes among E. coli isolates were 28.41%, 5.07%, 29.52% and 3.49%, respectively. Statistical analyses were significant for presence of bacteria between various seasons and ages. All isolates had the high resistance to penicillin (100%), streptomycin (98.25%) and tetracycline (98.09%) antibiotics. The most commonly detected resistance genes were aadA1, sul1, aac[3]-IV, CITM, and dfrA1. The most prevalent serogroup among STEC was O26. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings should raise awareness about antibiotic resistance in diarrheic calves in Iran. Clinicians should exercise caution when prescribing antibiotics.201425052999
1724190.8788Isolation, Molecular Characterization, and Antimicrobial Resistance of Selected Culturable Bacteria From Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) have become one of the favorite aquatic products in China. The modern farming mode which uses antibiotics to prevent diseases could impact the bacteria in crayfish intestines. Here, we determined the distribution and antimicrobial resistance phenotypes of the selected culturable bacteria in crayfish intestines and characterized an isolate with last-line antibiotic resistance determinant. Totally, 257 strains were isolated from 115 crayfish. These strains were highly diverse, with Citrobacter sp. (n = 94, 36.6%) and Aeromonas sp. (n = 88, 34.2%) being dominant. Other isolates belonged to genera Pseudomonas, Myroides, Morganella, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Proteus, Enterobacter, Kluyvera, and Escherichia. Most strains from crayfish were susceptible to all tested antibiotics. None of the isolates carried last-line antibiotic resistance genes except one Escherichia coli isolate with bla (NDM-5) was detected, which is the first report of bla (NDM-5)-positive E. coli isolate from red swamp crayfish. Whole-genome sequencing suggested it belonged to ST48 and carried several resistance genes. bla (NDM-5) was located within an Tn3000-like transposon linked to an external 5 bp sequence (ACTAT) on both sides on a IncHI1B/HI1A/FIA multi-replicon plasmid. This transposon was considered to be acquired by replicative transposition mediated by IS3000. The emergence of bacteria with last-line antibiotic resistance genes in crayfish poses serious threat to public health since crayfish could act as a reservoir for the transfer of resistance to humans.202235747368
