Abstract
The aims of this study were to implement a rapid easy methodology, to characterize the antimicrobial resistance gene (AMR) gut content associated with Enterobacteriales and staphylococci; and to evaluate statistical association between AMRs present in fecal samples from healthy companion animals and their human household members. Fecal samples were collected from 27 humans and 29 companion animals living in close contact in 20 households. Nineteen healthy humans without daily contact with companion animals were the control group. After DNA extraction, β-lactamase families and 10 genes of other antimicrobial classes were screened by PCR. Furthermore, third-generation cephalosporin-resistant, carbapenem-resistant, and colistin-resistant Enterobacteriales and methicillin-resistant staphylococci were screened by bacteriological methods. The blaTEM-1B gene with a P3 promotor was the most frequent β-lactam-resistant gene detected in humans and companion animals from households (33.3%, and 17.2%, respectively). The sul2 was the most frequently shared gene by humans and animals from the same household. In 50% of households at least one AMR was detected simultaneously in companion animal/owner pairs. Healthy humans and companion animals carried several AMRs of clinical importance. To the best our knowledge, this study reports the first detection of the blaSHV-27 gene in fecal samples from healthy humans in Portugal and in Europe.

Characterization of the population structure, drug resistance mechanisms and plasmids of the community-associated Enterobacter cloacae complex in China. J Antimicrob Chemother 2018; 73:66-76.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the population structure, drug resistance mechanisms and plasmids of community-associated Enterobacter cloacae complex (CA-ECC) isolates in China. Methods Sixty-two CA-ECC isolates collected from 31 hospitals across China were typed by hsp60 typing and MLST. ESBL and AmpC-overexpression phenotype was determined by double-disc synergy test. Replicon typing and conjugation were performed for plasmid analysis. All ESBL-positive isolates and representative conjugants were subjected to detailed characterization by WGS. Results Enterobacter hormaechei and Enterobacter kobei were predominant in our collections. MLST distinguished 46 STs with a polyclonal structure. ST591 was the most prevalent clone detected in northern China. Twenty-two isolates (35.5%) were ESBL positive and half of them were E. kobei. ESBL positivity was related to ESBL production (15/22) and to AmpC overexpression (18/22). Core-genome phylogenetic analysis identified intra- and inter-regional dissemination of ESBL-producing E. kobei clones. ESBL producers were exclusively classified as E. hormaechei and E. kobei, and blaCTX-M-3 was the most prevalent ESBL genotype (10/15) detected in four different environments. In the ESBL-positive population, the ESBL producers encoded more drug resistance genes (8-24 genes) by carrying more plasmids (1-3 plasmids) than the non-ESBL-producing isolates, resulting in an inter-group difference in drug susceptibilities. IncHI-type plasmids were prevalent in the ESBL producers (12/15). All IncHI2-type plasmids (n = 11) carried ESBL genes and shared a similar backbone to p09-036813-1A_261 recovered from Salmonella enterica in Canada. Conclusions The species-specific distribution, species-dependent ESBL mechanism and endemic plasmids identified in our study highlight the necessity for tailored surveillance of CA-ECC in the future.

Abstract
β-lactamases are the primary cause of resistance to β-lactams among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. SHV enzymes have emerged in Enterobacteriaceae causing infections in health care in the last decades of the Twentieth century, and they are now observed in isolates in different epidemiological settings both in human, animal and the environment. Likely originated from a chromosomal penicillinase of Klebsiella pneumoniae, SHV β-lactamases currently encompass a large number of allelic variants including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), non-ESBL and several not classified variants. SHV enzymes have evolved from a narrow- to an extended-spectrum of hydrolyzing activity, including monobactams and carbapenems, as a result of amino acid changes that altered the configuration around the active site of the β -lactamases. SHV-ESBLs are usually encoded by self-transmissible plasmids that frequently carry resistance genes to other drug classes and have become widespread throughout the world in several Enterobacteriaceae, emphasizing their clinical significance.

Abstract
Enterobacter cloacae is one of the most common carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) global wide. Resistance to tigecycline, one of the few therapeutic options for CRE infections, in carbapenem-resistant E. cloacae is of clinical significance. Fourteen E. cloacae clinical isolates (EC1-EC14) co-resistant to tigecycline and carbapenems were studied. Two tigecycline-susceptible/carbapenem-resistant isolates (TS1-TS2) were used for comparison. Genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing identified seven pulsotypes and three sequence types (STs). All three STs belonged to the published international clones. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis revealed the coexistence of blaSHV-12 and blaIMP-8 in 11 EC isolates from five pulsotypes/two STs. Reverse transcription PCR demonstrated overexpression of the chromosomal AmpC-like β-lactamase in seven EC isolates (four pulsotypes/two STs) and TS1 (pulsotype F/ST78). Reduced expression of outer membrane protein C (OmpC) was found in three EC isolates (all pulsotype C/ST204), whereas reduced expression of OmpF was found in nine EC isolates (three pulsotypes/two STs) and TS2 (pulsotype G/ST114). Overexpression of the efflux pump AcrB was found in all EC isolates although three showed borderline significance. Multiple mechanisms jointly contributed to the observed co-resistance to tigecycline and carbapenems. Some international clones have infiltrated into Taiwan and acquired various resistance traits independently.

Abstract
This study investigated the molecular features of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from hospital- and community-acquired (HA/CA) infections in the region of Mahdia, Tunisia. Among 336 K. pneumoniae isolates recovered from both clinical contexts between July 2009 and December 2011, 49 and 15 were ESBL producers and originated from clinical and community sources, respectively. All isolates produced the CTX-M-15 enzyme. As shown by Southern blot on S1 nuclease treatment followed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) gels, the blaCTX-M-15 gene was carried on IncFII (n=4), IncFIIk (n=25), IncL/M (n=4), IncK (n=1), or untypeable (n=15) plasmids in HA isolates. In CA isolates, the blaCTX-M-15 gene was carried on IncFIIk (n=6), IncFII (n=1), IncHI1 (n=1), or untypeable (n=7) plasmids. In all, 23 and 11 PFGE types were found among the HA and CA isolates. Multilocus sequence typing on representative isolates shows diverse sequence types (STs), such as ST307, ST101, ST39, ST4, ST140, ST15, and ST307 in HA isolates and ST101, ST664, and ST323 in CA isolates. This study is the first comprehensive report of ESBL plasmids in K. pneumoniae from HA and CA infections in Tunisia.

Abstract
Enterobacter aerogenes and E. cloacae have been reported as important opportunistic and multiresistant bacterial pathogens for humans during the last three decades in hospital wards. These Gram-negative bacteria have been largely described during several outbreaks of hospital-acquired infections in Europe and particularly in France. The dissemination of Enterobacter sp. is associated with the presence of redundant regulatory cascades that efficiently control the membrane permeability ensuring the bacterial protection and the expression of detoxifying enzymes involved in antibiotic degradation/inactivation. In addition, these bacterial species are able to acquire numerous genetic mobile elements that strongly contribute to antibiotic resistance. Moreover, this particular fitness help them to colonize several environments and hosts and rapidly and efficiently adapt their metabolism and physiology to external conditions and environmental stresses. Enterobacter is a versatile bacterium able to promptly respond to the antibiotic treatment in the colonized patient. The balance of the prevalence, E. aerogenes versus E. cloacae, in the reported hospital infections during the last period, questions about the horizontal transmission of mobile elements containing antibiotic resistance genes, e.g., the efficacy of the exchange of resistance genes Klebsiella pneumoniae to Enterobacter sp. It is also important to mention the possible role of antibiotic use in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases in this E. aerogenes/E. cloacae evolution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) has been found all over the world, and risk factors for acquiring these bacteria involve hospital care and antibiotic treatment. Surveillance studies are present in Europe, North America, and Asia, but there is no summarizing research published on the situation in Africa. AIM This review aims to describe the prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospital and community settings in Africa and the ESBL genes involved. METHOD A non-systematic literature search was performed in PubMed. All articles published between 2008 and 2012 were screened and read in full text. Relevant articles were assessed for quality of evidence and included in the review. Articles were divided into regional areas in Africa and tabulated. RESULTS ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospitalized patients and in communities varies largely between countries and specimens but is common in Africa. ESBLs (class A and D) and plasmid-encoded AmpC (pAmpC) were regularly found, but carbapenemases were also present. CONCLUSION ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospital and community settings in Africa is common. Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance needs to be implemented in Africa to tailor interventions targeted at stopping the dissemination of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Abstract
Poultry and poultry products are major contributors of zoonotic pathogens. Limited data are available on Enterobacter spp. as a potent zoonotic pathogen in poultry. The present study is a first endeavor on the emergence of multidrug-resistant zoonotic Enterobacter spp. and its prevalence arising from poultry in Bangladesh. Cloacal swabs from poultry samples of five different farms at Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh were collected and from 106 isolates, 18 presumptive Enterobacter spp. were obtained. Antibiogram using 19 used antibiotics belonging to 15 major groups revealed that all of the 18 isolates were completely resistant to penicillin and rifampicin, but differed in their drug resistance pattern against ampicillin (94.4%), clindamycin (94.4%), erythromycin (94.4%), vancomycin (88.9%), sulfonamides (72.2%), imipenem (66.6%), streptomycin (55.6%), nitrofurantoin (33.3%), doxycycline (33.3%), tetracyclines (33.3%), cefepime (11.1%), and gentamicin (5.6%). All Enterobacter spp. were found to be plasmid free, implying that multidrug-resistant properties are chromosomal borne. The vanA and sulI were detected by polymerase chain reaction assay in 17 and 13 isolates, respectively. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA distributed the 18 multidrug-resistant Enterobacter spp. into three genotypes. Phylogenetic analysis of the representatives of the three genotypes using partial 16S rRNA gene sequence (approximately 900 bp) showed that the genotypically diverse groups belonged to Enterobacter hormaechei, E. cloacae, and E. cancerogenus, respectively. The clinical significance of the close relative Enterobacter spp. is indicative of their zoonotic potential. Therefore, urgent intervention is required to limit the emergence and spread of these bacteria in poultry feed as well as prudent use of antibiotics among poultry farmers in Bangladesh.
