Abstract
As an emerging contaminant, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have attracted growing attention, owing to their widespread dissemination and potential risk in the farming environment. However, ARG pollution from family livestock farms in the Yellow River basin, one of the main irrigation water sources in the North China Plain, remains unclear. Herein, we targeted 21 typical family farms to assess the occurrence patterns of ARGs in livestock waste and its influence on ARGs in receiving environment by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Results showed that common ARGs were highly prevalent in family livestock waste, and tet-ARGs and sul-ARGs were the most abundant in these family farms. Most ARG levels in fresh feces of different animals varied, as the trend of chicken farms (broilers > laying hens) > swine farms (piglets > fattening pigs > boars and sows) > cattle farms (dairy cattle > beef cattle). The effect of natural composting on removing ARGs for chicken manure was better than that for cattle manure, while lagoon storage was not effective in removing ARGs from family livestock wastewater. More troublesomely, considerable amounts of ARGs were discharged with manure application, further leading to the ARG increase in farmland soil (up to 58-119 times), which would exert adverse impacts on human health and ecological safety.

[PMID: 38275928 PMCID: PMC10819017 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci11010046] [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: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Indiana (S. Indiana) strains in China is commonly associated with the presence of one or more resistance plasmids harboring integrons pivotal in acquiring antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study aims to elucidate the genetic makeup of this plasmid-free, highly drug-resistant S. Indiana S1467 strain. Genomic sequencing was performed using Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer and PacBio RS II System. Prodigal software predicted putative protein-coding sequences while BLASTP analysis was conducted. The S1467 genome comprises a circular 4,998,300 bp chromosome with an average GC content of 51.81%, encompassing 4709 open reading frames (ORFs). Fifty-four AMR genes were identified, conferring resistance across 16 AMR categories, aligning closely with the strain's antibiotic susceptibility profile. Genomic island prediction unveiled an approximately 51 kb genomic island housing a unique YeeVU toxin-antitoxin system (TAS), a rarity in Salmonella species. This suggests that the AMR gene cluster on the S1467 genomic island may stem from the integration of plasmids originating from other Enterobacteriaceae. This study contributes not only to the understanding of the genomic characteristics of a plasmid-free, highly drug-resistant S. Indiana strain but also sheds light on the intricate mechanisms underlying antimicrobial resistance. The implications of our findings extend to the broader context of horizontal gene transfer between bacterial species, emphasizing the need for continued surveillance and research to address the evolving challenges posed by drug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Indiana (S. Indiana) has aroused widespread concern as an important zoonotic pathogen. The molecular mechanism of multidrug resistance (MDR) in S. Indiana is not known and should be assessed. We aim to investigate the molecular mechanism of MDR and the importance of large plasmids carried class 1 integrons in the MDR of foodborne S. Indiana. Class 1 integrons in 48 S. Indiana isolates and 200 isolates of 7 other Salmonella serotypes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To analyze the antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) of two S. Indiana isolates, designated S. Indiana 15 and S. Indiana 222, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed, and the resulting sequences were compared with the complete nucleotide sequences of S. Indiana D90 and S. Indiana C629. Comparative functional analysis was conducted between the intI1 (1,014 bp) of S. Indiana 222 and the intI1 (699 bp) of S. Indiana 15. Plasmid conjugation transfer analysis was performed to analyze the horizontal gene transfer of the integrons-related resistance genes with integron-positive and integron-negative Salmonella isolates. 64.58% of S. Indiana isolates carried class 1 integrons, which was significantly higher than that of other Salmonella serotypes (p < 0.001). The NGS results showed that the S. Indiana 15 and S. Indiana 222 isolates carried a large plasmid with a class 1 integron and multiple ARGs, similar to S. Indiana D90 and S. Indiana C629. Two integrases found in S. Indiana isolates belong to class 1 integrases and could integrate resistance genes into specific integration sites of the integrons. The conjugation frequency of intI1 (1,014 bp) was 6.08 × 10−5, which was significantly higher than that of intI1 (699 bp) (p < 0.01). The large plasmids carrying a class 1 integron and the number of ARGs were strongly correlated (p < 0.001). The conjugation frequency of integron-positive S. Indiana recipient isolates was significantly higher than that of integron-negative recipient isolates (p < 0.05). S. Indiana containing large plasmids carrying a class 1 integron more easily captured resistance genes from other bacteria (S. Enteritidis and S. Derby), which could be an important cause of the emerging pandemic of MDR clones. S. Indiana containing large plasmids carrying a class 1 integron more easily captured resistance genes from other bacteria (S. Enteritidis and S.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To reconstruct the genomic epidemiology and evolution of MDR Salmonella Indiana in China. METHODS A total of 108 Salmonella Indiana strains were collected from humans and livestock in China. All isolates were subjected to WGS and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary analyses were conducted using WGS data from this study and the NCBI database. RESULTS Almost all 108 Salmonella Indiana strains displayed the MDR phenotype. Importantly, 84 isolates possessed concurrent resistance to ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime. WGS analysis revealed that class 1 integrons on the chromosome and IncHI2 plasmids were the key vectors responsible for multiple antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) [including ESBL and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes] transmission among Salmonella Indiana. The 108 Salmonella Indiana dataset displayed a relatively large core genome and ST17 was the predominant ST. Moreover, the global ST17 Salmonella Indiana strains could be divided into five distinct lineages, each of which was significantly associated with a geographical distribution. Genomic analysis revealed multiple antimicrobial resistance determinants and QRDR mutations in Chinese lineages, which almost did not occur in other global lineages. Using molecular clock analysis, we hypothesized that ST17 isolates have existed since 1956 and underwent a major population expansion from the 1980s to the 2000s and the genetic diversity started to decrease around 2011, probably due to geographical barriers, antimicrobial selective pressure and MDR, favouring the establishment of this prevalent multiple antibiotic-resistant lineage and local epidemics. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that adaptation to antimicrobial pressure was possibly pivotal in the recent evolutionary trajectory for the clonal spread of ST17 Salmonella Indiana in China.

Abstract
The genetic features of foodborne Salmonella have changed in recent years as multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains have become prevalent among various serovars. The recent expansion of MDR Salmonella enterica serovar Indiana sequence type 17 (ST17) poses an increasing threat to global public health, as 24.3% (61/251) of S. Indiana isolates in this study exhibited resistance to three clinically important antimicrobial agents: fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin), extended-spectrum β-lactams (cephalosporin), and macrolides (azithromycin). Both the evolutionary histories and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of this serovar remain to be described. Bioinformatic analysis revealed multiple lineages have coexisted and spread throughout China. Specifically, emergence of a predominant lineage appears to be associated with accumulated various substitutions in the chromosomal quinolone resistance-determining regions (GyrA S83F D87N and ParC T57S S80R) (141 [56.2%]), as well as acquisition of an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing IncHI2 plasmid that has subsequently undergone extensive rearrangement and an IncX1 plasmid that contains mph(A), conferring resistance to azithromycin. Several other evolutionary events influencing the trajectory of this drug-resistant serovar were also identified, including sporadic acquisitions of blaCTX-M-carrying plasmids, along with chromosomal integration of blaCTX-M within subclusters. Most human isolates reside in clusters containing isolates from animals, mainly from chickens, indicating the close relationship of human isolates with those from food animals. These data demonstrate that MDR S. Indiana ST17 is already widespread and capable of acquiring resistance traits against the clinical important antimicrobial agents, suggesting it should be considered a high-risk global MDR pathogen. The complexity of its evolutionary history has implications for AMR surveillance, epidemiological analysis, and control of emerging clinical lineages. IMPORTANCE The emergence and worldwide spread of AMR Salmonella constitute great public health concerns. S. enterica serovar Indiana is a typical MDR serovar characterized by sporadic reports. However, comprehensive population genomics studies have not been performed on this serovar. This study provides a detailed and comprehensive insight into the rapid evolution of AMR in this important Salmonella serovar in the past 15 years in eight provinces of China. We documented diverse contributory genetic processes, including stable chromosomal integrations of resistance genes, the persistence and evolution of mobile resistance elements within sublineages, and sporadic acquisition of different resistance determinants that occur at all genetic levels (genes, genetic contexts, plasmids, and host strains). There are different mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in S. enterica serovar Indiana from those of other serovars. This study sheds light on the formation of MDR S. enterica serovar Indiana with chickens as its potential reservoirs and paves the way to curb its further expansion among food animals.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Chickens are considered as the main source of Salmonella, with infection potentially spreading to the public through outlets. The study aimed to investigate poultry shops for Salmonella enterica resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins-resistant (ESCR) and carbapenems-resistant (CR). Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from chicken giblets, water tanks, and workers at retail shops. Salmonella was isolated and serotyped; the presence of invA, stn, ompA, and ompF was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The isolates were tested for ESCR and CR by a disk-diffusion test; a confirmatory extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) test was performed by combinational disk-diffusion test with clavulanic acid. The resistant isolates were screened for ESBL (blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M, and blaOXA-1), AmpC blaCMY-2, and carbapenemase (blaKPC, blaNDM, and blaOXA-48) genes using PCR. Results: S. enterica was isolated from chicken giblets (13/129) and the 13 isolates were ESCR. Based on the confirmatory ESBL test and CR, the 13 isolates were classified into the following resistance phenotypes: ESBL-producing and CR (n=4), ESBL-producing (n=1), non-ESBL-producing and CR (n=6), and non-ESBL-producing (n=2). All the five isolates with ESBL-producing phenotype carried predominantly blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCMY-2. Regardless of being phenotypically CR, none of these isolates carried any of the tested carbapenemase genes. Surprisingly, the isolates with non-ESBL phenotype were found to carry blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCMY-2. The blaKPC was present mainly in the isolates with non-ESBL and CR phenotypes. Interestingly, two isolates of the non-ESBL and CR phenotype showed resistance to cefepime, the fourth generation cephalosporins. Salmonella was also recovered from the water tanks (2/7) and the workers (2/16). The four isolates were ESCR and showed a non-ESBL-producing and CR phenotype; they harbored blaTEM, blaSHV, blaOXA-1, and blaKPC. The blaCMY-2 was found in one isolate from water and one from humans. All Salmonella isolates carried invA, stn, ompA, and ompF. Conclusion: Virulent ESCR S. enterica were identified in retail shops. The isolates carried blaCMY-2 and ESBL-genes, with a high proportion showing CR. Transmission of such strains to humans through food leads us to recommend regular inspection of retail outlets for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Characterization of NDM-1-Producing Carbapenemase in Proteus mirabilis among Broilers in China. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9122443.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant pathogens mediated by metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) have spread worldwide, where NDM-1 is a typical and key MBL. Here, we firstly discussed the distribution characterization of NDM-1, which produces multidrug-resistant Proteus mirabilis among broilers in China. From January to April 2019, 40 (18.1%, 40/221) blaNDM-1-carrying P. mirabilis strains were recovered from commercial broilers in slaughterhouse B in China. All the isolates were resistant to imipenem, meropenem and other β-lactams. These isolates belong to five clusters identified via pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Further studies on twenty representative strains revealed that seven blaNDM-1 genes were located on plasmids with sizes of 104.5–138.9 kb. Notably, only three strains (PB72, PB96 and PB109) were successfully transferred to Escherichia coli J53, while the other four isolates were located in nontransferable plasmids. The rest were harbored in chromosomes. Ulteriorly, based on whole genome sequencing (WGS), these twenty isolates showed four typical phylogenetic clades according to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of a core genome and presented four main genomic backbone profiles, in which type II/III strains shared a similar genetic context. All of the above is evidence of blaNDM-1 transmission and evolution in P. mirabilis, suggesting that the prevalence may be more diverse in broiler farms. Accordingly, as intestinal and environmental symbiotic pathogens, blaNDM-1-positive P. mirabilis will pose greater threats to the environment and public health.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 420:126618. [PMID: 34329102 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The large-scale application of xenobiotics adversely affects the environment. The genes that are present in the chromosome of the bacteria are considered nonmobile, whereas the genes present on the plasmids are considered mobile genetic elements. Plasmids are considered indispensable for xenobiotic degradation into the contaminated environment. In the contaminated sites, bacteria with plasmids can transfer the mobile genetic element into another strain. This mechanism helps in spreading the catabolic genes into the bacterial population at the contaminated sites. The indigenous microbial strains with such degradative plasmids are important for the bioremediation of xenobiotics. Environmental factors play a critical role in the conjugation efficiency, which is involved in the bioremediation of the xenobiotics at the contaminated sites. However, there is still a need for more research to fill in the gaps regarding plasmids and their impact on bioremediation. This review explores the role of bacterial plasmids in the bioremediation of xenobiotics from contaminated environments.

IS 26 Is Responsible for the Evolution and Transmission of blaNDM-Harboring Plasmids in Escherichia coli of Poultry Origin in China. mSystems 2021; 6:e0064621. [PMID: 34254816 PMCID: PMC8407110 DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00646-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are some of the most important pathogens responsible for nosocomial infections, which can be challenging to treat. The blaNDM carbapenemase genes, which are expressed by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Escherichia coli isolates, have been found in humans, environmental samples, and multiple other sources worldwide. Importantly, these genes have also been found in farm animals, which are considered an NDM reservoir and an important source of human infections. However, the dynamic evolution of blaNDM genetic contexts and blaNDM-harboring plasmids has not been directly observed, making it difficult to assess the extent of horizontal dissemination of the blaNDM gene. In this study, we detected NDM-1 (n = 1), NDM-5 (n = 24), and NDM-9 (n = 8) variants expressed by E. coli strains isolated from poultry in China from 2016 to 2017. By analyzing the immediate genetic environment of the blaNDM genes, we found that IS26 was associated with multiple types of blaNDM multidrug resistance regions, and we identified various IS26-derived circular intermediates. Importantly, in E. coli strain GD33, we propose that IncHI2 and IncI1 plasmids can fuse when IS26 is present. Our analysis of the IS26 elements flanking blaNDM allowed us to propose an important role for IS26 elements in the evolution of multidrug-resistant regions (MRRs) and in the dissemination of blaNDM. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of the dynamic evolution of blaNDM genetic contexts and blaNDM-harboring plasmids. These findings could help proactively limit the transmission of these NDM-producing isolates from food animals to humans. IMPORTANCE Carbapenem resistance in members of the order Enterobacterales is a growing public health problem that is associated with high mortality in developing and industrialized countries. Moreover, in the field of veterinary medicine, the occurrence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolates in animals, especially food-producing animals, has become a growing concern in recent years. The wide dissemination of blaNDM is closely related to mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and plasmids. Although previous analyses have explored the association of many different MGEs with mobilization of blaNDM, little is known about the evolution of various genetic contexts of blaNDM in E. coli. Here, we report the important role of IS26 in forming multiple types of blaNDM multidrug resistance cassettes and the dynamic recombination of plasmids bearing blaNDM. These results suggest that significant attention should be paid to monitoring the transmission and further evolution of blaNDM-harboring plasmids among E. coli strains of food animal origin.

Abstract
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) gene confers high-level resistance to an array of β-lactams including carbapenems. Short- and long-read sequencing was used to investigate outbreaks of NDM-positive Enterobacterales including a potential horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event of an NDM-positive plasmid between Salmonella enterica and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Genomic analysis demonstrated a high degree of similarity between NDM-carrying plasmids from patient 1 in K. pneumoniae and patient 2 with S. enterica, K. pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca, confirming an inter-species HGT event. The utility of whole-genome sequencing was demonstrated for in-hospital outbreaks, previously undetected using traditional infection-control surveillance.

Abstract
The rising trend of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by foodborne bacteria is a public health concern as these pathogens are easily transmitted to humans through the food chain. Non-typhoid Salmonella spp. is one of the leading foodborne pathogens which infect humans worldwide and is associated with food and livestock. Due to the lack of discovery of new antibiotics and the pressure exerted by antimicrobial resistance in the pharmaceutical industry, this review aimed to address the issue of antibiotic use in livestock which leads to AMR in Salmonella. Much attention was given to resistance to carbapenems and colistin which are the last-line antibiotics used in cases of multi drug resistant bacterial infections. In the present review, we highlighted data published on antimicrobial resistant Salmonella species and serovars associated with livestock and food chain animals. The importance of genomic characterization of carbapenem and colistin resistant Salmonella in determining the relationship between human clinical isolates and food animal isolates was also discussed in this review. Plasmids, transposons, and insertion sequence elements mediate dissemination of not only AMR genes but also genes for resistance to heavy metals and disinfectants, thus limiting the therapeutic options for treatment and control of Salmonella. Genes for resistance to colistin (mcr-1 to mcr-9) and carbapenem (blaVIM-1, blaDNM-1, and blaNDM-5) have been detected from poultry, pig, and human Salmonella isolates, indicating food animal-associated AMR which is a threat to human public health. Genotyping, plasmid characterization, and phylogenetic analysis is important in understanding the epidemiology of livestock-related Salmonella so that measures of preventing foodborne threats to humans can be improved.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Salmonella is an important foodborne pathogen that causes public health problems globally, and the increase of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella has intensified the problem. Chicken meat is an important reservoir and disseminator of Salmonella to humans. This study aimed at estimating the burden of Salmonella carrying extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and their antimicrobial resistance pattern in 113 domestic frozen chicken meat samples purchased from supershops available in five divisional megacities of Bangladesh. The study also focused on the determination of β-lactamase-, and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance-encoding genes. All samples were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella using selective media and PCR assay. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was done by disk diffusion test, and ESBL screening was performed by double-disk synergy tests. Resistance genes were detected using multiplex PCR. Of samples, 65.5% were positive for Salmonella spp., and, of these, 58.1% isolates were ESBL producers. All the isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR): 40.5% were resistant to both three to five and six to eight antimicrobial classes; 17.6% were resistant to 9 to 11 classes, and 1.4% isolates to 12 to 15 classes. The highest rates of resistance were observed against oxytetracycline (100%), followed by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (89.2%), tetracycline (86.5%), nalidixic acid (83.8%), amoxicillin (74.3%), and pefloxacin (70.3%). Notably, 48.6% of isolates demonstrated resistance to imipenem. One (1.4%) isolate was possibly extensively drug resistant. All the isolates were positive for the blaTEM gene, 2.7% were positive for blaCTX-M-1, and 20.3% for blaNDM-1. The prevalence of qnrA and qnrS genes was 4.1 and 6.8%, respectively. This study shows that ESBL-producing Salmonella are widespread in frozen chicken meat in Bangladesh, which puts greater responsibility on food processors and policy makers to ensure food safety.

Abstract
The Enterobacteriales order consists of seven families including Enterobacteriaceae, Erwiniaceae, Pectobacteriaceae, Yersiniaceae, Hafniaceae, Morganellaceae, and Budviciaceae and 60 genera encompassing over 250 species. The Enterobacteriaceae is currently considered as the most taxonomically diverse among all seven recognized families. The emergence of carbapenem resistance (CR) in Enterobacteriaceae caused by hydrolytic enzymes called carbapenemases has become a major concern worldwide. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates have been reported not only in nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens but also in food-producing animals, companion animals, and the environment. The reported carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae from different sources belong to the Ambler class A (blaKPC), class B (blaIMP, blaVIM, blaNDM), and class D (blaOXA-48) β-lactamases. The carbapenem encoding genes are often located on plasmids or associated with various mobile genetic elements (MGEs) like transposons and integrons, which contribute significantly to their spread. These genes are most of the time associated with other antimicrobial resistance genes such as other β-lactamases, as well as aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones resistance genes leading to multidrug resistance phenotypes. Control strategies to prevent infections due to CRE and their dissemination in human, animal and food have become necessary. Several factors involved in the emergence of CRE have been described. This review mainly focuses on the molecular epidemiology of carbapenemases in members of Enterobacteriaceae family from humans, animals, food and the environment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Carbapenem resistance is rarely reported in Salmonella Typhimurium, especially from a food origin. Here, we report a plasmid-mediated mobile carbapenem-resistant blaNDM-5 gene in Salmonella Typhimurium isolated from pork in Shanghai, China in 2016. PATIENTS AND METHODS In July 2016, the S. Typhimurium SH160 strain was recovered from minced pork meat purchased from a supermarket in Yangpu District, Shanghai, China. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, multi-locus sequence typing, conjugation, S1-PFGE, southern hybridization, whole-genome sequencing and data analysis were performed. RESULTS This isolate was found to be a ST34 strain and resistant to carbapenems, cephalosporins, and most other commonly used antibiotics. The blaNDM-5 gene was harbored by a 46161-bp IncX3 plasmid which was found to be transferable. The IncX3 plasmid contains a composite cassette, consisting of ISSwil-IS3000-ΔISAba125-IS5-blaNDM-5-bleMBL-trpF-dsbC-IS26-ctuA1-ΔumuD. In addition, this strain was found to harbor an additional 161706-bp IncHI2 plasmid which carries nine resistant genes, such as aadA1, aadA3, aph(3')-la, sul1, sul2, sul3, floR, cmlA and dfrA12. CONCLUSION We reported the S. Typhimurium with transferable IncX3 plasmid harboring blaNDM-5 gene from minced pork. We characterized the complete genetic features of the plasmid, which demonstrated the potential for spreading in different bacterial pathogens. Therefore, extensive surveillance and monitoring for carbapenem-resistant bacterium in the food chain and public health are urgently required.

Abstract
We identified fosA3 at a rate of 2.6% in 310 Salmonella isolates from food animals in Guangdong province, China. The fosA3 gene was genetically linked to diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), including mcr-1, bla CTX-M-14/55, oqxAB, and rmtB These gene combinations were embedded in heterogeneous fosA3-containing multidrug resistance regions on the transferable ST3-IncHI2 and F33:A-:B- plasmids and the chromosome. This indicated a great flexibility of fosA3 cotransmission with multiple important ARGs among Salmonella species.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterise the molecular events underlying formation and evolution of a cointegrate plasmid harbouring blaNDM-1 and blaCMY-2 in a clinical Salmonella Lomita (S. Lomita) strain. The Salmonella strain SL131 was found to harbour two multidrug resistant (MDR) plasmids. One plasmid, pSL131_IncHI2, is a typical IncHI2 plasmid containing blaOXA-1, catB3, arr-3, sul1, qnrB4 and blaDHA-1 in a complex class 1 integron. The other plasmid, pSL131_IncA/C-IncX3, is a blaNDM-1-bearing cointegrate plasmid consisting of IncX3 and IncA/C backbones, the formation of which is mediated by IS26. Stability assay showed that the cointegrate plasmid was highly stable in its natural host - S. Lomita - but would readily resolve into single plasmids upon conjugation, during which the IncX3 blaNDM-1-bearing plasmid could be transferred to Escherichia coli strain EC600. Plasmid evolution through integration of two or more MDR plasmids would not only expand the resistance profile of the resultant plasmid, but also broaden the host spectrum of such resistance-encoding mobile elements. Better understanding of the underlying and triggering mechanisms of cointegration may facilitate development of intervention measures to curb formation and dissemination of such elements.

The Present and Future of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and Whole Metagenome Sequencing (WMS) for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistant Microorganisms and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes across the Food Chain. Genes (Basel) 2018; 9:E268. [PMID: 29789467 PMCID: PMC5977208 DOI: 10.3390/genes9050268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2018] [Revised: 05/14/2018] [Accepted: 05/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance is a critical step within risk assessment schemes, as it is the basis for informing global strategies, monitoring the effectiveness of public health interventions, and detecting new trends and emerging threats linked to food. Surveillance of AMR is currently based on the isolation of indicator microorganisms and the phenotypic characterization of clinical, environmental and food strains isolated. However, this approach provides very limited information on the mechanisms driving AMR or on the presence or spread of AMR genes throughout the food chain. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens has shown potential for epidemiological surveillance, outbreak detection, and infection control. In addition, whole metagenome sequencing (WMS) allows for the culture-independent analysis of complex microbial communities, providing useful information on AMR genes occurrence. Both technologies can assist the tracking of AMR genes and mobile genetic elements, providing the necessary information for the implementation of quantitative risk assessments and allowing for the identification of hotspots and routes of transmission of AMR across the food chain. This review article summarizes the information currently available on the use of WGS and WMS for surveillance of AMR in foodborne pathogenic bacteria and food-related samples and discusses future needs that will have to be considered for the routine implementation of these next-generation sequencing methodologies with this aim. In particular, methodological constraints that impede the use at a global scale of these high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies are identified, and the standardization of methods and protocols is suggested as a measure to upgrade HTS-based AMR surveillance schemes.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in wildlife, food-producing, and companion animals: a systematic review. Clin Microbiol Infect 2018; 24:1241-1250. [PMID: 29654871 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2018.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 193] [Impact Index Per Article: 32.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2017] [Revised: 03/30/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in healthcare settings challenges clinicians worldwide. However, little is known about dissemination of CRE in livestock, food, and companion animals and potential transmission to humans. METHODS We performed a systematic review of all studies published in the PubMed database between 1980 and 2017 and included those reporting the occurrence of CRE in samples from food-producing and companion animals, wildlife, and exposed humans. The primary outcome was the occurrence of CRE in samples from these animals; secondary outcomes included the prevalence of CRE, carbapenemase types, CRE genotypes, and antimicrobial susceptibilities. RESULTS We identified 68 articles describing CRE among pigs, poultry, cattle, seafood, dogs, cats, horses, pet birds, swallows, wild boars, wild stork, gulls, and black kites in Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. The following carbapenemases have been detected (predominantly affecting the genera Escherichia and Klebsiella): VIM, KPC, NDM, OXA, and IMP. Two studies found that 33-67% of exposed humans on poultry farms carried carbapenemase-producing CRE closely related to isolates from the farm environment. Twenty-seven studies selectively screened samples for CRE and found a prevalence of <1% among livestock and companion animals in Europe, 2-26% in Africa, and 1-15% in Asia. Wildlife (gulls) in Australia and Europe carried CRE in 16-19%. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of CRE in livestock, seafood, wildlife, pets, and directly exposed humans poses a risk for public health. Prospective prevalence studies using molecular and cultural microbiological methods are needed to better define the scope and transmission of CRE.

[PMID: 29642473 PMCID: PMC6024723 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci5020040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 73] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2018] [Revised: 04/03/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica (NTS) are a leading cause of food-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide. Like other zoonotic bacteria, NTS have the potential to act as reservoirs and vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial drug resistance in different settings. Of particular concern is the resistance to critical "last resort" antimicrobials, such as carbapenems. In contrast to other Enterobacteriaceae (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter, which are major nosocomial pathogens affecting debilitated and immunocompromised patients), carbapenem resistance is still very rare in NTS. Nevertheless, it has already been detected in isolates recovered from humans, companion animals, livestock, wild animals, and food. Five carbapenemases with major clinical importance-namely KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) (class A), IMP (imipenemase), NDM (New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase), VIM (Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase) (class B), and OXA-48 (oxacillinase, class D)-have been reported in NTS. Carbapenem resistance due to the production of extended spectrum- or AmpC β-lactamases combined with porin loss has also been detected in NTS. Horizontal gene transfer of carbapenemase-encoding genes (which are frequently located on self-transferable plasmids), together with co- and cross-selective adaptations, could have been involved in the development of carbapenem resistance by NTS. Once acquired by a zoonotic bacterium, resistance can be transmitted from humans to animals and from animals to humans through the food chain. Continuous surveillance of resistance to these "last resort" antibiotics is required to establish possible links between reservoirs and to limit the bidirectional transfer of the encoding genes between S. enterica and other commensal or pathogenic bacteria.
