Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance (PMQR) in Two Clinical Strains of Salmonella enterica Serovar Corvallis. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10030579. [PMID: 35336154 PMCID: PMC8953408 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10030579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Non-typhoid serovars of Salmonella enterica are one of the main causes of bacterial food-borne infections worldwide. For the treatment of severe cases of salmonellosis in adults, fluoroquinolones are amongst the drugs of choice. They are categorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “critically important with highest priority in human medicine”. In the present study, two clinical S. enterica serovar Corvallis isolates (HUA 5/18 and HUA 6/18) from a Spanish hospital, selected on the basis of fluoroquinolone resistance, were characterized. The MICs of ciprofloxacin, determined by E-test, were 0.5 and 0.75 µg/mL for HUA 5/18 and HUA 6/18, respectively, and both were also resistant to pefloxacin but susceptible to nalidixic acid. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of the isolates was performed with Illumina platform, and different bioinformatics tools were used for sequence analysis. The two isolates belonged to ST1541, and had the Thr57Ser substitution in the ParC protein which is also found in ciprofloxacin susceptible isolates. However, they harbored identical ColE plasmids of 10 kb carrying the qnrS1 gene. In these plasmids, the gene was flanked by defective versions of IS2-like and ISKra4-like insertion sequences. HUA 5/18 and HUA 6/18 were also phenotypically resistant to streptomycin, sulfonamides and tetracycline, with the responsible genes: strA, strB, sul2 and tet(A) genes, being located on a IncQ1 plasmid. ColE plasmids with the qnrS1 gene are widely spread among multiple serovars of S. enterica from different samples and countries. These mobilizable plasmids are playing an important role in the worldwide spread of qnrS1. Thus, their detection in hospitals is a cause of concern which deserves further attention.

Antimicrobial resistance and molecular characterization of Salmonella enterica serovar Corvallis isolated from human patients and animal source foods in China. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 335:108859. [PMID: 32947147 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2020.108859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2020] [Revised: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
In this study, 205 Salmonella enterica serovar Corvallis strains were obtained from humans and foods from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Shanghai in China from 2009 to 2017 to assess drug resistance and molecular epidemiology. These isolates displayed high rates of resistance to sulfisoxazole (94.15%) and tetracycline (77.56%). Surprisingly, the rate of resistance to ciprofloxacin reached 21.46%. Moreover, 63.9% of the strains displayed multidrug resistance. Detection of quinolone genes showed that 97.56% of the strains had single mutations (T57S) in parC. The plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes qnrS, aac(6')-Ib-cr, and qnrB, were also detected. The extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLS) gene that was most common among the isolates was blaTEM-1 (18.05%). These S. Corvallis isolates are the first to date, that have been reported to possess blaCTX-M-55 or blaNDM-5. Additionally, 95.61% of isolates were biofilm producers. The streptomycin resistance rate was higher in strong biofilm producers (87.50%) than in moderate (37.93%) and weak (26.49%) biofilm producers. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that some strains from different sources had the same genotype. These isolates may be transmitted to humans through food and therefore the monitoring of these isolates should be strengthened in China.

Abstract
Waterborne diseases are a global problem that causes more than 2.2 million deaths annually. Therefore, the present study was focused on microbiological contamination of both ground and surface water by means of total coliform, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella spp., Shigella spp. and Campylobacter spp. Seventy two groundwater and 45 surface water sampling locations were selected to collect water from the head, transitional and meandering regions of the Kelani River Basin for a period of one year (both dry and wet seasons). The results of the study revealed that the entire Kelani River basin was contaminated with total coliform and E. coli bacteria and almost all the sampling locations exceed Sri Lanka Standards Institute (SLSI) guideline value given for drinking water (0 CFU/100 mL). Further, in groundwater, 17 locations were positive for Salmonella spp., whereas only 2 locations were positive for Campylobacter spp. In surface water, 26 and three sampling locations were positive for Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp., respectively. In this study, 23 different human pathogenic serovars were isolated and the Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky was identified as the commonest type. Thus, the result of the study revealed that the consumption of raw water from the Kelani River Basin is unsafe and possible to cause gastrointestinal diseases.

Genetic diversity of clinical Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in a university hospital of south Tunisia, 2000-2013. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2020; 85:104436. [PMID: 32569743 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2020.104436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Typhimurium is one of the main Salmonella serovar responsible for non-typhoidal gastro-enteritis in Tunisia. Here, we aimed to assess the genetic diversity of 88 clinical Salmonella Typhimurium strains recovered during 14 years from 2000 to 2013. Phage typing, CRISPR polymorphisms (CRISPOL), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and Whole genome sequencing (WGS) were used to study the relatedness and spatio-temporal evolution of Salmonella Typhimurium populations (Typhimurium (n = 81), monophasic (n = 3) and nonmotile (n = 4) variants). Seven-locus MLST from whole genome assemblies showed that all isolates, except one, belonged to ST19. The isolates were divided into 10 definitive phage (DT) types, dominated by DT104-L (39.8%), DT41 (14.8%), DT116 (11.4%) and DT120 (5.7%). Fifty-seven MLVA patterns (DI, 0.978) were obtained compared to 11 different CRISPOL types and 15 PFGE types (DI,0.845). For cgMLST analysis, 20 profiles were found. A total of 3056 SNPs were identified from the whole genome of the 88 Salmonella Typhimurium isolates. These SNPs resolved these isolates into 86 SNP haplotypes. The phylogeny result allocated most Salmonella Typhimurium isolates into four distinct clades and seven subclades. Genetic diversity between the four clades ranged in the order of 249 to 720 nucleotide changes. The prevalent phage type DT104L formed a major clade on the phylogenetic tree. Pairwise SNP differences between the strains of this clade ranged between 0 and 59. SNP-based WGS typing seems to be the most valuable molecular markers for studying the evolutionary relationships of homogeneous serovar Typhimurium isolates.

Abstract
Salmonella spp. are among the most important foodborne pathogens and the third leading cause of human death among diarrheal diseases worldwide. Animals are the primary source of this pathogen, and animal-based foods are the main transmission route to humans. Thus, understanding the global epidemiology of Salmonella serovars is key to controlling and monitoring this bacterium. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and diversity of Salmonella enterica serovars in animal-based foods (beef, pork, poultry, and seafood) throughout the five continents (Africa, the Americas [North and Latin America], Asia, Europe, and Oceania). The meta-analysis consisted of a chemometric assessment (hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis) to identify the main epidemiological findings, including the prevalence and diversity of the Salmonella serovars in each matrix. Regarding the serovar distribution, S Typhimurium presented a cosmopolitan distribution, reported in all four assessed matrices and continents; poultry continues to play a central role in the dissemination of the Enteritidis serovar to humans, and Anatum and Weltevreden were the most frequently found in beef and seafood, respectively. Additionally, we recommended careful monitoring of certain serovars, such as Derby, Agona, Infantis, and Kentucky. Finally, given the scientific data regarding the most frequently reported serovars and which matrices constitute the main vehicles for the transmission of this pathogen, control programs may be improved, and specific interventions may be implemented in an attempt to reduce the risk of this pathogen reaching humans.IMPORTANCE Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella spp. and is the third leading cause of death among food-transmitted diseases. This pathogen is commonly disseminated in domestic and wild animals, and the infection's symptoms are characterized by acute fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. The animals are the primary source of salmonellae, and animal-based foods are the main transmission route to humans. Therefore, data collected from these sources could contribute to future global interventions for effective control and surveillance of Salmonella along the food chain. In light of this, the importance of our research is in identifying the prevalence of Salmonella serovars in four animal-based food matrices (pork, poultry, beef, and seafood) and to evaluate the importance that each matrix has as the primary source of this pathogen to humans.

Abstract
Antimicrobial-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are an important cause of infection in Africa, but there is a lack of information on their molecular mechanisms of resistance and epidemiology. This study contributes to fill this gap through the characterization by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), plasmid profiling and analysis of antibiotic-resistance determinants of 94 Salmonella enterica strains isolated from food in Morocco. PFGE revealed considerable heterogeneity among the strains, showing 32 pulsotypes. MLST of strains representative of the different serovars evidenced 13 sequence types (STs), three of which were newly identified (ST1694, ST1768 and ST1818) and nine not previously reported in Morocco. Thirty-four strains harbored from one to four plasmids, of IncI1 group in S. Mbandaka, IncFIIA in S. Typhimurium, IncL/M in S. Hadar and S. Blockley. For the first time in Morocco an intact Salmonella Genomic Island 1 (SGI1) carrying the resistance genes aadA2, floR, tetG, blaPSE-1 and sul1 was detected in S. Typhimurium DT104. In serovar Hadar resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline and streptomycin was associated to blaTEM-1, tetA and strA genes respectively, whereas one mutation in gyrA (Asp87Asn) and one in parC (Thr54Ser) genes conferred resistance to nalidixic acid. These findings improve the information on foodborne Salmonella in Morocco, evidencing the presence of MDR strains potentially dangerous to humans, and provide useful data for future studies.

Abstract
This study was conducted for typing Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica strains in Turkey using pulsed–field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and plasmid DNA profile analysis. Fourty-two strains were isolated from clinical samples obtained from unrelated patients with acute diarrhea. The samples were collected from state hospitals and public health laboratories located at seven provinces in different regions of Turkey at different times between 2004 and 2010. The strains were determined to belong to 4 different serovars. The Salmonella enterica strains belonged to the serovars Salmonella Enteritidis (n = 23), Salmonella Infantis (n = 14), Salmonella Munchen (n = 2), and Salmonella Typhi (n = 3). Forty-two Salmonella enterica strains were typed with PFGE methods using XbaI restriction enzyme and plasmid analysis. At the end of typing, 11 different PFGE band profiles were obtained. Four different PFGE profiles (type 1, 4, 9, and 10) were found among serotype S. Enteritidis species, 3 different PFGE profiles (type 3, 5, 6) were found among S. Infantis species, 2 different PFGE profiles were found among S. Typhi species (type 2 and 11), and 2 different PFGE profiles were found among S. Munchen species (type 7, 8). The UPGMA dendrogram was built on the PFGE profiles. In this study, it was determined that 4 strains of 42 Salmonella enterica strains possess no plasmid, while the isolates have 1–3 plasmids ranging from 5.0 to 150 kb and making 12 different plasmid profiles (P1–P12). In this study, we have applied the analysis of the PFGE patterns and used bioinformatics methods to identify both inter and intra serotype relationships of 4 frequently encountered serotypes for the first time in Turkey.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying the ability of virulent Salmonella organisms to escape clearance by macrophages is incompletely understood. Here, we report a novel mechanism by which Salmonella escapes macrophages. METHODS Microarray and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses were used to screen key microRNAs regulating Salmonella-host cell interactions. Target gene was tested using luciferase reporter and Western blot assays. The role of microRNA 128 (miR-128) was assayed using intestinal epithelial cells and a mouse infection model. RESULTS The miR-128 level in human intestinal epithelial HT29 cells was strongly increased by infection with strain SE2472, and the elevation in miR-128 levels in mouse intestine and colon tissues correlated with the level of Salmonella infection in mice. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) was identified as a target of miR-128, and increased miR-128 levels in epithelial cells due to infection with strain SE2472 significantly decreased the level of cell-secreted M-CSF, leading to impaired M-CSF-mediated macrophage recruitment. The secreted proteins from Salmonella were identified as possible effectors to induce miR-128 expression via the p53 signaling pathway. Moreover, intragastric delivery of anti-miR-128 antagomir into mice significantly increased M-CSF-mediated macrophage recruitment and suppressed Salmonella infection. CONCLUSIONS Salmonella can upregulate intestinal epithelial miR-128 expression, which, in turn, decreases levels of epithelial cell-secreted M-CSF and M-CSF-induced macrophage recruitment.
