Uropathogenic E. coli and Hybrid Pathotypes in Mexican Women with Urinary Tract Infections: A Comprehensive Molecular and Phenotypic Overview. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:5909-5928. [PMID: 38921024 PMCID: PMC11202577 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46060353] [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: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the main cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and carries virulence and resistance factors often found in mobilizable genetic elements, such as plasmids or pathogenicity islands (PAIs). UPEC is part of the extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC), but hybrid strains possessing both diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) and ExPEC traits, termed "hypervirulent", present a significant health threat. This study assessed the prevalence of UPEC PAIs, ExPEC sequence types (ST), DEC genes, carbapenemase and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) phenotypes, resistance genotypes, and plasmids in 40 clinical isolates of UPEC. Results showed that 72.5% of isolates had PAIs, mainly PAI IV536 (53%). ESBL phenotypes were found in 65% of β-lactam-resistant isolates, with 100% of carbapenem-resistant isolates producing carbapenemase. The predominant ESBL gene was blaCTX-M-2 (60%), and the most common resistance gene in fluoroquinolone and aminoglycoside-resistant isolates was aac(6')Ib (93%). Plasmids were present in 57% of isolates, and 70% belonged to the ST131 clonal group. Molecular markers for DEC pathotypes were detected in 20 isolates, with 60% classified as hybrid pathotypes. These findings indicate significant pathogenic potential and the presence of hybrid pathotypes in E. coli UTI clinical isolates in the Mexican population.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance surveillance may be essential to identify patterns of antibiotic resistance and guide treatment choices. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate amikacin resistance and susceptibility in children with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE). From inception to September 5, 2022, relevant studies were searched via PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. A network meta-analysis was conducted to explore the sequencing of resistance rates in amikacin and other antibiotics. Totally, 26 studies with 2582 clusters of bacterial isolates were included. The resistance rate of amikacin in children with ESBL-PE was 10.1%, higher than the resistance rate of tigecycline (0.0%), ertapenem (0.4%), meropenem (0.7%), and imipenem (3.0%). For the drug susceptibility rate in children with ESBL-PE, the susceptibility rate of amikacin (89.7%) was lower than tigecycline (99.6%), imipenem (96.8%), meropenem (97.3%), and ertapenem (95.6%). Amikacin showed a low drug resistance and a high drug resistance in children with ESBL-PE infection, making it a good option for the treatment of the infection caused by ESBL-PE.

Abstract
Introduction: Citrobacter spp. is an opportunistic bacteria that have been recognized as significant pathogens in patients with underlying diseases or immunocompromised status. The aim of this study was to identify extended-spectrum β-lactamases in clinical isolates of Citrobacter spp. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital Central “Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto” in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Nineteen isolates of Citrobacter spp. were obtained from clinical specimens between April to December 2015. Four isolates were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins. The presence of genes encoding ESBL ( blaCTX-M-15, blaTEM-1, blaVEB-1, blaSHV, and blaPER-1) was analyzed by PCR. For this purpose, plasmid DNA was extracted and horizontally transferred to recipient E. coli Top 10. Results: blaCTX-M-15 and blaVEB-1 genes were detected in Citrobacter freundii and Citrobacter sedlakii, whereas blaPER-1 gene was identified in 1 isolate of Citrobacter freundii. In contrast, blaSHV gene was not detected in any isolate. One strain carried blaCTX-M-15, blaTEM-1, blaVEB-1, and blaPER-1 genes, most in a 275-kb plasmid. Conclusion: This study shows the presence of different types of ESBL in clinical isolates of Citrobacter freundii and Citrobacter sedlakii, which confer resistance to broad-spectrum β-lactams. The plasmid identified in this study harboring ESBL genes could play an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance.

High Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Gram-Negative Isolated Bacilli in Intensive Care Units at a Tertiary-Care Hospital in Yucatán Mexico. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55090588. [PMID: 31540314 PMCID: PMC6780114 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55090588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Revised: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 09/11/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing worldwide and imposes significant life-threatening risks to several different populations, especially to those in intensive care units (ICU). The most commonly isolated organisms in ICU comprise gram-negative bacilli (GNB), and these represent a leading cause of serious infections. This study was conducted to describe the prevalence of resistance in GNB isolated from patients in adults, pediatric, and neonatal ICU in a tertiary-care hospital in Mérida, Mexico. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was done on samples collected in Neonatal (NICU), Pediatric (PICU) and Adult (AICU) ICU of Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social in Mérida, México. The identification of isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed using an automated system. Results: A total of 517 GNB strains were isolated. The most common positive culture was bronchial secretions. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the prevalent pathogen in NICU and PICU, whereas Escherichia coli was common in the AICU. Overall, GNB exhibited a high resistance rates for Ampicillin (95.85%), Cefuroxime (84.17%), Piperacillin (82.93%), Cefotaxime (78.07%), Ceftriaxone (77.41%), Aztreonam (75.23%), Cefazolin (75.00%), and Ceftazidime (73.19%). There are significant differences in the resistance rates of GNB from different ICUs for penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones drugs. Escherichia coli (multidrug-resistant [MDR] = 91.57%, highly resistant microorganisms [HRMO] = 90.36%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR = 86.79%, HRMO = 83.02%) exhibited the highest percentage of MDR and HRMO profiles. The prevalence of the extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL)-producing isolates was 83.13% in E. coli, 78.84% in Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 66.67% in Proteus mirabilis, respectively. Conclusions: The high resistance rates to drugs were exhibited by our GNB isolates. Continuous surveillance and control of the use of antimicrobials are urgently needed to reduce the emergence and spreading of MDR, HRMO, and/or ESBL-producing bacilli.

Abstract
Aim We aimed to assess the resistance rates of antimicrobial-resistant, in bacterial pathogens of epidemiological importance in 47 Mexican centers. Material and methods In this retrospective study, we included a stratified sample of 47 centers, covering 20 Mexican states. Selected isolates considered as potential causatives of disease collected over a 6-month period were included. Laboratories employed their usual methods to perform microbiological studies. The results were deposited into a database and analyzed with the WHONET 5.6 software. Results In this 6-month study, a total of 22,943 strains were included. Regarding Gram-negatives, carbapenem resistance was detected in ≤ 3% in Escherichia coli, 12.5% in Klebsiella sp. and Enterobacter sp., and up to 40% in Pseudomonas aeruginosa; in the latter, the resistance rate for piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP) was as high as 19.1%. In Acinetobacter sp., resistance rates for cefepime, ciprofloxacin, meropenem, and TZP were higher than 50%. Regarding Gram-positives, methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was as high as 21.4%, and vancomycin (VAN) resistance reached up to 21% in Enterococcus faecium. Acinetobacter sp. presented the highest multidrug resistance (53%) followed by Klebsiella sp. (22.6%) and E. coli (19.4%). Conclusion The multidrug resistance of Acinetobacter sp., Klebsiella sp. and E. coli and the carbapenem resistance in specific groups of enterobacteria deserve special attention in Mexico. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and MRSA are common in our hospitals. Our results present valuable information for the implementation of measures to control drug resistance.

Abstract
There are challenges regarding increased global rates of microbial resistance and the emergence of new mechanisms that result in microorganisms becoming resistant to antimicrobial drugs. Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic effective against Gram-negative and certain Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococci, that interfere with cell wall synthesis. During the last 40 years, fosfomycin has been evaluated in a wide range of applications and fields. Although numerous studies have been done in this area, there remains limited information regarding the prevalence of resistance. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the available data concerning the mechanisms and increasing resistance regarding fosfomycin.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most frequent infectious diseases affecting humans, and represent an important public health problem with a substantial economic burden. Due to the high empiric use of antibiotics for the treatment of UTI, antibacterial resistance of Enterobacteriaceae, specifically the main uropathogens Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, has significantly increased worldwide. In this article the worldwide epidemiology of resistant Gram-negative bacteria causing UTIs, with a special focus on extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) positive pathogens, as well as new threats such as multi-drug-resistant (MDR) clones (e.g. E. coli 131 (ST131) and K. pneumoniae ST258), are reviewed. The increased prevalence of MDR Enterobacteriaceae, limiting available treatment options for infections caused by these organisms, and the lack of new antibiotics provide good rationale for using older antibiotics, such as fosfomycin, that have been shown to retain some activity against MDR bacteria.

Abstract
Over the past 10 years, the resistances among microbes are increasing gradually in Europe and greater resistances are seen in southern countries. We studied the prevalence of community-onset ESBL-producing Escherichia coli urinary tract infections in children.As secondary objectives, we analyzed associated risk factors and the resistance patterns in ESBL-producing E coli isolates.Retrospective observational study in a tertiary care hospital about children ≤14 years old with community-onset E coli urinary tract infection. The variables studied were age, sex, ESBL-producing, antibiotic therapy 7 to 30 days before the infection, hospitalization 7 to 30 days before the infection, nefrourologic pathology, and vesicoureteral reflux.Between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2016, 229 isolates of E coli were obtained, of whom 21 (9.2%) where ESBL-producing E coli. Median age in non-ESBL-producing was 18 months versus 7 months in ESBL-producing group. Fourteen (66%) of the ESBL-producing group were men (P = .001), 5 (23.8%) were hospitalized 30 days before the infection (P = .001), 12 (57.1%) had nefrourological pathology (P = .003), 6 (28.5%) had vesicoureteral reflux (P = .032). Previous antibiotic therapy was not statistically significant. Multiple regression analyses between sex and 30 days previous hospitalization were r = 3.51 (P = .0001). Multidrug resistant isolates among ESBL-producing E coli was 12 (57%).The retrospective study allowed assessing the problem of ESBL-producing isolates in the outpatient settings. Some risk factors from past studies were confirmed and a combined risk is suggested. The resistant spectrum should be taken into account when choosing antibiotic regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) strains are a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonia. Resistance to antibiotics, biofilm formation, and the production of certain fimbriae play an important role in the pathogenesis. AIM We investigated the genetic relatedness, antibiotic resistance, virulence potential, and ability to form biofilms of Kpn strains isolated from hospital-acquired infections (n = 76). Strains were isolated at three major hospitals serving the largest metropolitan urban area in Mexico City, Mexico. RESULTS Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR demonstrated that clonal groups predominate in each hospital. Selected strains chosen from clonal groups (n = 47) were multidrug resistant (MDR, 83%), although the majority (∼70%) were susceptible to carbapenems. All strains produced robust biofilms on abiotic surfaces, and ∼90% harbored adhesin genes fimH, mrkA, and ecpA. The ultrastructure of biofilms was further studied by high-resolution confocal microscopy. The average height of Kpn biofilms on abiotic surfaces was ∼40 μm. We then assessed formation of biofilms on human lung cells, as a surrogate of lung infection. While Kpn strains formed robust biofilms on abiotic surfaces, studies on lung cells revealed attachment to human cells but scarce formation of biofilms. Gene expression studies revealed a differential temporal expression of an adhesin (ecpA) and a capsule (galF) gene when biofilms were formed on different substrates. CONCLUSIONS Kpn strains isolated from nosocomial infections in Mexico City are MDR, although the majority are still susceptible to carbapenems and form more robust biofilms on polystyrene in comparison to those formed on human cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the prevalence of ESBL genes in the principal group of Enterobacteriaceae causing nosocomial infections and to identify the phylogenetic group in Escherichia coli isolates. METHODS There were collected 1084 ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates during 2005-2012 from adult patients from 14 hospitals and corresponding to eight states and five regions (SE, S, N, W and NW) in Mexico. The CTX-M-(CTX-M-1 group), SHV-, TLA- and GES-type ESBLs genes were screened. The respective alleles were determined in the most of ESBLs genes. In E. coli isolates selected were used to identify the phylogenetic group. RESULTS The ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae corresponded the most prevalent clinical isolates. CTX-M-type ESBLs genes were the most common, followed by SHV-type, GES-type and the ESBLs TLA-1 gene. The allelic frequency showed to CTX-M-15 ESBL the most prevalent, followed by the SHV-12, SHV-5 and GES-1, GES-19 in the GES family. Among ESBL-producing E. coli isolates the phylogenetic groups A and D were the most common ones. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed an epidemiological change in terms of bacterial species, placing E. coli as the most frequently isolated bacteria among ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Mexico, followed by K. pneumoniae. This frequency is accompanied by a high frequency of ESBL CTX-M-15.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the presence of group CTX-M-9 extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in clinical Escherichia coli isolates from pediatric patients. A total of 404 non-repeated positive ESBL E. coli isolates were collected from documented clinical infections in pediatric patients over a 2-year period. The identification and susceptibility profiles were determined using an automated system. Isolates that suggested ESBL production based on their resistance profiles to third and fourth generation cephalosporin and monobactam were selected. ESBL production was phenotypically confirmed using a diffusion method with cefotaxime and ceftazidime discs alone and in combination with clavulanic acid. blaESBL gene identification was performed through PCR amplification and sequencing. Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) and Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) were performed to establish the clonal relationships of the E. coli isolates. CTX-M-9-type ESBLs were detected in 2.5% of the isolates. The subtypes corresponded to blaCTX-M-14 (n = 4) and blaCTX-M-27 (n = 6). Additionally, coexistence with other beta-lactamases was observed. A clonal relationship was established in three isolates; the rest were classified as non-related. We found seven different sequence type (ST) in CTX-M-9- producing E. coli isolates. ST38 was the most frequent. This study is the first report in Mexico to document the presence of group CTX-M-9 ESBLs in E. coli isolates from pediatric patients.

Abstract
The treatment of bacterial infections suffers from two major problems: spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extensively drug-resistant (XDR) pathogens and lack of development of new antibiotics active against such MDR and XDR bacteria. As a result, physicians have turned to older antibiotics, such as polymyxins, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides. Lately, due to development of resistance to these agents, fosfomycin has gained attention, as it has remained active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative MDR and XDR bacteria. New data of higher quality have become available, and several issues were clarified further. In this review, we summarize the available fosfomycin data regarding pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, the in vitro activity against susceptible and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, mechanisms of resistance and development of resistance during treatment, synergy and antagonism with other antibiotics, clinical effectiveness, and adverse events. Issues that need to be studied further are also discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in the community. However, information of resistant isolates in this context is limited in Latin America. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with community-onset UTI (CO-UTI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Escherichia coli in Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study was conducted between August and December of 2011 in three Colombian tertiary-care institutions. All patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department with a probable diagnosis of CO-UTI were invited to participate. All participating patients were asked for a urine sample. ESBL confirmatory test, antibiotic susceptibility, and molecular epidemiology were performed in these E.coli isolates (Real Time-PCR for bla genes, repetitive element palindromic PCR [rep-PCR], multilocus sequence typing [MLST] and virulence factors by PCR). Clinical and epidemiological information was recorded, and a statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS Of the 2124 recruited patients, 629 had a positive urine culture, 431 of which grew E.coli; 54 were positive for ESBL, of which 29 were CTX-M-15. The majority of ESBL isolates were susceptible to ertapenem, phosphomycin and amikacin. Complicated UTI was strongly associated with ESBL-producing E.coli infections (OR=3.89; 95%CI: 1.10-13.89; P=.03). CTX-M-15-producing E.coli showed 10 different pulsotypes, 65% were PT1 or PT4, and corresponded to ST131. Most of these isolates had 8 out of the 9 analysed virulence factors. DISCUSSION E.coli harbouring blaCTX-M-15 associated with ST131 is still frequent in Colombia. The presence of complicated CO-UTI increases the risk of ESBL-producing E.coli, and must be taken into account in order to provide an adequate empirical therapy.

Abstract
The CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) present a serious public health threat as they have become nearly ubiquitous among clinical gram-negative pathogens, particularly the enterobacteria. To aid in the understanding and eventual control of the spread of such resistance genes, we sought to determine the diversity of CTX-M ESBLs not among clinical isolates, but in the environment, where weaker and more diverse selective pressures may allow greater enzyme diversification. This was done by examining the CTX-M diversity in municipal wastewater and urban coastal wetlands in southern California, United States, by Sanger sequencing of polymerase chain reaction amplicons. Of the five known CTX-M phylogroups (1, 2, 8, 9, and 25), only genes from groups 1 and 2 were detected in both wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and group 1 genes were also detected in one of the two wetlands after a winter rain. The highest relative abundance of blaCTX-M group 1 genes was in the sludge of one WWTP (2.1 × 10(-4) blaCTX-M copies/16S rRNA gene copy). Gene libraries revealed surprisingly high nucleotide sequence diversity, with 157 new variants not found in GenBank, representing 99 novel amino acid sequences. Our results indicate that the resistomes of WWTPs and urban wetlands contain diverse blaCTX-M ESBLs, which may constitute a mobile reservoir of clinically relevant resistance genes.

Fecal ESBL Escherichia coli carriage as a risk factor for bacteremia in patients with hematological malignancies. Support Care Cancer 2015; 24:253-259. [PMID: 26014616 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-015-2772-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2014] [Accepted: 05/12/2015] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of fecal extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) colonization for bloodstream infection (BSI), clinical outcome, and costs in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) and severe neutropenia. METHODS This is a cohort study, carried out at a cancer-referral hospital. The study population comprises patients with HM, hospitalized prior to administration of the first chemotherapy cycle. A stool culture was taken during the first 48 h; they were grouped as colonized by ESBL-EC or non-ESBL-EC. Patients were followed upon completion of chemotherapy or death. The sum of the days of antibiotics and the length of stay of all hospitalizations in the different cycles of chemotherapy were recorded. RESULTS We included 126 patients with a recent diagnosis of HM, grouped as 63 patients colonized by ESBL-EC and 63 colonized by non-ESBL-EC, aged 42 ± 16 years old, 78 males (62%). BSI by ESBL-EC developed in 14 patients (22.2%) colonized by the same strain and in 5 (7.9%) in the group colonized with non-ESBL-EC. BSI by non-ESBL-EC was observed in 3 patients (4.7%) colonized by ESBL-EC and in 17 (26.9%) patients colonized by non-ESBL-EC. Colonization with ESBL-EC increased the risk of BSI by the same strain (relative risk (RR) = 3.4, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.5-7.8, p = 0.001), shorter time to death (74 ± 62 vs. 95 ± 83 days, p < 0.001), longer hospital stay (64 ± 39 vs. 48 ± 32 days, p = 0.01), and higher infection-related costs ($6528 ± $4348 vs. $4722 ± $3173, p = 0.01). There was no difference in overall mortality between both groups. CONCLUSIONS Fecal colonization by ESBL-EC is associated with increased risk of BSI by this strain, longer hospital stay, and higher related costs.

Abstract
To review the epidemiology of nosocomial extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Latin America, a systematic search of the biomedical literature (PubMed) was performed for articles published since 2005. Rates of nosocomial infections caused by extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Latin America have increased since 2005. Up to 32% of Escherichia coli and up to 58% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates are extended spectrum β-lactamase-positive, rates that are higher than in other world regions. From a region-wide perspective, 11–25% of E. coli isolates and 45–53% of K. pneumoniae isolates were nonsusceptible to third-generation cephalosporins. At the country level, there was a wide range in Enterobacteriaceae resistance rates to third-generation cephalosporins, with especially high rates of resistance to E. coli in Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, and high resistance rates to Klebsiella spp. in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, and Paraguay. Susceptibility of extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae to cefepime, fluoroquinolones, ampicillin/sulbactam, aminoglycosides, and piperacillin/tazobactam has also been compromised, leaving the carbapenems, tigecycline, and colistin as the only antibiotics with >90% susceptibility rates. There is a steady increase in the prevalence and types of extended spectrum β-lactamases produced by Enterobacteriaceae isolates in Latin American hospitals (particularly CTX-Ms), suggesting endemic conditions overlaid by clonal outbreaks. Appropriate treatment decisions and infection control strategies informed by surveillance of regional and local susceptibilities and mechanisms of resistance are required to mitigate this major public health concern.
