Colostrum as a source of ESBL-Escherichia coli in feces of newborn calves. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9929. [PMID: 38688984 PMCID: PMC11061148 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60461-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine if colostrum and the equipment for harvesting and feeding colostrum are sources of fecal ESBL/AmpC-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL/AmpC-E. coli) in calves. Therefore, 15 male calves fed with pooled colostrum on a dairy farm and held individually in an experimental barn, the colostrum pool and the equipment for harvesting and feeding colostrum were sampled and analyzed for the occurrence of ESBL/AmpC-E. coli. The ESBL-AmpC-E. coli suspicious isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequence analysis. Forty-three of 45 fecal samples were tested positive for ESBL/AmpC-E. coli. In the colostrum sample and in the milking pot, we also found ESBL/AmpC-E. coli. All 45 E. coli isolates were ESBL-producers, mainly commensal sequence type (ST) 10, but also human-extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli ST131 and ST117 were found. The clonal identity of six fecal isolates with the ESBL-E. coli isolate from the colostrum and of five fecal isolates with the strain from the milking pot demonstrates that the hygiene of colostrum or the colostrum equipment can play a significant role in the spread of ESBL-E. coli. Effective sanitation procedures for colostrum harvesting and feeding equipment are crucial to reduce the ESBL-E. coli shedding of neonatal dairy calves.

High Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Sequence Type 131 Subclade C2 among Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Escherichia coli Isolated from the University Hospital Bratislava, Slovakia. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:1209. [PMID: 37508305 PMCID: PMC10376107 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12071209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The expansion of sequence type 131 (ST131) extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) represents major worldwide challenges. E. coli strains originating from healthcare facilities (labeled No. 1 and No. 2) of the University Hospital Bratislava (UHB) were analyzed for ST131 emergence, including its (sub)lineages and clonal relatedness. Antimicrobial resistance was determined in most strains. Of a total of 354 E. coli strains, 263 (74.3%) belonged to ST131; of these, 177 (67.3%) were from No. 1. Generally, among 260 ST131 E. coli, clades A/B were confirmed in 20 (7.7%), while clade C was noted in 240 (92.3%) strains; within them, subclades were detected as follows: C0 (17; 7.1%), C1 (3; 1.2%), and C2 (220; 91.7%). Among fifteen randomly selected E. coli strains that were investigated for ST and clonal relatedness, seven STs were identified: eight (53.3%) ST131, two (13.3%) ST73, and one each (6.7%) of ST10, ST12, ST14, ST1193, and ST1196. From No. 1, two ST131 in the first internal clinic and one ST131 from No. 2 in the aftercare department were highly clonally related, suggesting possible epidemiological association. Antimicrobial resistance was as follows: ciprofloxacin 93.8%, ceftazidime 78.4%, meropenem 0%, fosfomycin 2.9% and nitrofurantoin 1.4%. Prevention of ESBL-producing E. coli dissemination, especially for ST131 clade C2, is inevitably necessary for reducing drug resistance and decreasing healthcare-associated infections.

Int J Urol 2022; 29:486-493. [PMID: 35144308 DOI: 10.1111/iju.14824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Revised: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The development of several culture media and the availability to isolate and treat pathogens prior to a surgical procedure give us the ability to minimize treatment-related complications, and ultimately results in better outcomes for patients and avoidance of unwanted post-procedure inpatient admissions. In the last decade, an increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli, especially extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli and fluoroquinolone-resistant pathogens, has been reported. These resistant species frequently colonize the rectal flora and gain access to the systemic circulation via the rectal plexus following a prostate biopsy. The bacteria can eventually lead to life-threatening complications, which is especially important in high-risk patients with multiple co-morbidities. Previously published studies have focused on the isolation of these pathogens with selective media before an invasive procedure and the potential benefits of incorporating the use of selective media as a mandatory pre-operative step. This preventive measure will allow us to offer a tailored prophylactic treatment that benefits patients and reduces the economic burden for the hospital.

Mills JP, Rojas LJ, Marshall SH, Rudin SD, Hujer AM, Nayak L, Bachman MA, Bonomo RA, Kaye KS. Risk Factors for and Mechanisms of COlistin Resistance Among Enterobacterales: Getting at the CORE of the Issue. Open Forum Infect Dis 2021; 8:ofab145. [PMID: 34285928 PMCID: PMC8286092 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofab145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the recent emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance, the epidemiology and mechanisms of colistin-resistant Enterobacterales (CORE) infections remain poorly understood. METHODS A case-case-control study was conducted utilizing routine clinical isolates obtained at a single tertiary health system in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Patients with CORE isolates from January 1, 2016, to March 31, 2017, were matched 1:1 with patients with colistin-susceptible Enterobacterales (COSE) and uninfected controls. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare clinical and microbiologic features of patients with CORE and COSE to controls. A subset of available CORE isolates underwent whole-genome sequencing to identify putative colistin resistance genes. RESULTS Of 16 373 tested clinical isolates, 166 (0.99%) were colistin-resistant, representing 103 unique patients. Among 103 CORE isolates, 103 COSE isolates, and 102 uninfected controls, antibiotic exposure in the antecedent 90 days and age >55 years were predictors of both CORE and COSE. Of 33 isolates that underwent whole-genome sequencing, a large variety of mutations associated with colistin resistance were identified, including 4 mcr-1/mcr-1.1 genes and 4 pmrA/B mutations among 9 Escherichia coli isolates and 5 mgrB and 3 PmrA mutations among 8 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Genetic mutations found in Enterobacter species were not associated with known phenotypic colistin resistance. CONCLUSIONS Increased age and prior antibiotic receipt were associated with increased risk for patients with CORE and for patients with COSE. Mcr-1, pmrA/B, and mgrB were the predominant colistin resistance-associated mutations identified among E. coli and K. pneumoniae, respectively. Mechanisms of colistin resistance among Enterobacter species could not be determined.
