Abstract
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are a serious concern in human clinical settings. Companion animal-origin CPE have been only rarely identified in several countries, but they have not yet been identified in Japan. In this study, we present the first case of a canine infected with CPE in Japan. The patient was hospitalized due to pyometra. The pus discharged from the patient's uterus was subjected to bacteriological analysis. As a result, E. coli was identified in the pus and exhibited resistance to piperacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, ceftazidime, cefepime, meropenem, amikacin, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and susceptibility to aztreonam, minocycline, and levofloxacin. Results of the sodium mercaptoacetic acid double-disk synergy test showed that the E. coli isolate was positive for metallo-β-lactamases. Next-generation sequencing identified the blaNDM-5 gene, which was located in the IncFII-type plasmid together with blaTEM-1b, rmtB, aadA2, bleMBL, sul1, qacE, and dfrA12. The case was treated successfully with doxycycline and orbifloxacin. Our finding emphasizes that close attention should be paid to the significance of CPE harboring multidrug-resistance plasmid in companion animals, based on the perspective of One Health approach in Japan as well as in other countries.

Sun L, Sun GZ, Jiang Y, Mei CY, Wang ZY, Wang HY, Kong GM, Jiao X, Wang J. Low prevalence of mobilized resistance genes blaNDM, mcr-1, and tet(X4) in Escherichia coli from a hospital in China. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1181940. [PMID: 37275145 PMCID: PMC10237293 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1181940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The emergence and spread of carbapenemase genes, colistin resistance genes mcr-1, and tigecycline resistance gene tet(X) represent a significant threat to clinical therapy and public health. In this study, we investigated the presence of carbapenemase genes, mcr-1, and tet(X) in 298 Escherichia coli strains obtained from a teaching hospital in China. In total, eight (2.68%), six (2.01%), and one (0.34%) E. coli isolates carried blaNDM, mcr-1, and tet(X4), respectively. The blaNDM gene was located on IncX3 (n = 4), F2:A-:B- (n = 3), and F2:A1:B1 (n = 1) plasmids, with high similarity to multiple plasmids belonging to the same incompatibility type from Enterobacteriaceae. Six MCR-producing strains contained mcr-1-carrying IncI2 plasmids, organized similarly to other mcr-1-bearing IncI2 plasmids from animals in China. The blaCTX-M-55/64/132/199 gene located within a typical transposition unit (ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-orf477Δ) was inserted near dnaJ to generate 5-bp direct repeats in four mcr-1-positive plasmids. The tet(X) and another four resistance genes [aadA2, tet(A), floR, and Δlnu(F)] were co-located on an IncX1 plasmid, highly similar to other tet(X4)-carrying IncX1 plasmids from Escherichia and Klebsiella of animal or food origin, except that the conjugative transfer region of IncX1 plasmids was absent in our plasmid. Although a low prevalence of blaNDM, mcr-1, and tet(X) was observed in E. coli from patients in this study, their dissemination associated with some successful pandemic plasmids is of great concern. The continued surveillance of these crucial resistance genes in patients should be strengthened.

Osong Public Health Res Perspect 2022; 13:407-423. [PMID: 36617547 DOI: 10.24171/j.phrp.2022.0033] [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: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to describe the presence and geographical distribution of Gram-negativebacteria considered critical on the priority list of antibiotic-resistant pathogens publishedby the World Health Organization, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae,carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp., and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.A systematic review of original studies published in 5 databases between 2010 and 2021 wasconducted, including genotypically confirmed carbapenem-resistant isolates obtained fromcanines, felines, and their settings. Fifty-one articles met the search criteria. Carbapenemresistant isolates were found in domestic canines and felines, pet food, and on veterinarymedical and household surfaces. The review found that the so-called "big five"-that is, the5 major carbapenemases identified worldwide in Enterobacterales (New Delhi metallo-βlactamase, active-on-imipenem, Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase, Klebsiellapneumoniae carbapenemase, and oxacillin [OXA]-48-like)-and the 3 most importantcarbapenemases from Acinetobacter spp. (OXA-23-like, OXA-40-like, and OXA-58-like) hadbeen detected in 8 species in the Enterobacteriaceae family and 5 species of glucose nonfermenting bacilli on 5 continents. Two publications used molecular analysis to confirmcarbapenem-resistant bacteria transmission between owners and dogs. Isolating criticallyimportant human carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria from domestic canines andfelines highlights the importance of including these animal species in surveillance programsand antimicrobial resistance containment plans as part of the One Health approach.

Transmission and molecular characteristics of blaNDM-producing Escherichia coli between companion animals and their healthcare providers in Guangzhou, China. J Antimicrob Chemother 2021; 77:351-355. [PMID: 34726693 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkab382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the transmission and molecular characteristics of blaNDM-producing Escherichia coli between companion animals and their healthcare providers at veterinary clinics in Guangzhou, China. METHODS A total of 359 samples from companion animals and their healthcare providers were collected at 14 veterinary clinics in Guangzhou, China. Genomic characteristics and clonal relationships for blaNDM-positive E. coli and complete plasmid sequences were characterized based on WGS data from combined Illumina and MinION platform reads. RESULTS Forty-five blaNDM-positive bacteria were recovered from companion animals (n = 43) and their healthcare providers (n = 2) at 10 veterinary clinics. Overall, E. coli (73.3%, 33/45) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.3%, 6/45) were the most prevalent species among the seven species of blaNDM-positive bacteria. Four blaNDM variants (blaNDM-1, blaNDM-4, blaNDM-5 and blaNDM-7) were identified in 45 blaNDM-positive bacteria and blaNDM-5 was the most prevalent (77.8%, 35/45). WGS indicated that the most prevalent STs were ST405 (8/33), ST453 (6/33), ST457 (6/33) and ST410 (5/33) among the 33 blaNDM-positive E. coli isolates. Phylogenomics and PFGE analysis revealed that clonal spread of blaNDM-positive ST453 E. coli isolates between companion animals and their healthcare providers was evident. In addition, two novel IncFIB plasmids carrying blaNDM-4 (pF765_FIB and pG908_FIB) were found in this study and indicated that IS26 may promote the horizontal transmission of blaNDM between different plasmid types. CONCLUSIONS In this study we conducted a large-scale investigation on the prevalence of blaNDM-positive E. coli isolates from companion animals and their healthcare providers and revealed the clonal spread of blaNDM-positive E. coli isolates between these two groups.

Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics of a Community-Acquired Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli ST410 Isolate Harbouring blaNDM-5-Encoding IncX3-Type Plasmid From Blood. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:658058. [PMID: 34179042 PMCID: PMC8226244 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.658058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this research was to investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of a case of community-acquired carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from a patient with a bloodstream infection in China. Methods:Escherichia coli Huamei202001 was recovered from the first blood culture from a patient hospitalised in China. An antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed, and the genome was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq X 10 platform with a 150-bp paired-end approach. The generated sequence reads were assembled using Unicycler, and the whole genome sequence data were analysed using bioinformatics tools. Moreover, the patient and her main family members obtained a faecal sample screening test for CRE, the positive strain was further isolated and the identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed. Results:Escherichia coli Huamei202001 belonged to sequence type 410. In addition, a blaNDM-5-encoding IncX3-type plasmid was responsible for the spreading of carbapenem resistance. Only the patient was detected as having a positive faecal sample screening test for CRE. Strain Fec01 was identified as E. coli, and the antibiotic susceptibility profile was the same as that of E. coli Huamei202001. Conclusions:Escherichia coli Huamei202001 is defined as community-acquired carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The clone ST410 that harbours the blaNDM-5-encoding IncX3-type plasmid is causing new high-risk clones globally. Thus, infection control measures should be strengthened to curb the dissemination of IncX3.
