THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 939:173498. [PMID: 38815827 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in China's aquaculture, agricultural, and clinical settings and can lead to antibiotic resistance in various pathogens. Although the pooled prevalence estimate (PPE) and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in food and clinical settings has been extensively studied, a comprehensive analysis of the published literature is lacking. We conducted a comprehensive search for research indicators for 2001-2020 in eight major Chinese and English literature databases. Antibiotic PPE and resistance trends of 5933 and 29,451 E. coli isolates were screened and analysed in 35 food studies (total 1821) and 62 clinical studies (total 5159). E. coli strains derived from food had the highest antibiotic resistance rate to tetracycline (TET, 71.3 %), followed by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SXT, 62.5 %) and cefazolin (CFZ, 36.2 %). E. coli strains isolated from clinical environments were highly resistant to piperacillin (PIP, 71.7 %), TET (68.3 %) and CFZ (60.9 %), consistent with foodborne E. coli drug resistance patterns. E. coli strains isolated from food and clinical samples collected in laboratories carry multiple antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), such as blaTEM, gryA, gryB, sul1, and tetA, making E. coli a reservoir of ARGs. This study highlights the presence of drug-resistant E. coli pathogens and ARGs in food and clinical environments.

Molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance profile of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolated from healthy cow raw milk in smallholder dairy farms in Bangladesh. Vet World 2023; 16:1333-1339. [PMID: 37577207 PMCID: PMC10421560 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2023.1333-1339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, such as Escherichia coli in milk, is a serious public health concern as milk is considered a complete food and an important part of daily human diet worldwide, including in Bangladesh. However, there have been no reports on the molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance profile of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli from milk of healthy cows in Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aimed to detect and characterize ESBL-producing E. coli (ESBL-Ec) in milk samples from healthy cows in smallholder dairy farms in Mymensingh district, Bangladesh, and assess the potential risk of consuming this milk. Materials and Methods A total of 100 milk samples were collected from apparently healthy cows on smallholder dairy farms. Escherichia coli was isolated from the collected samples using standard methods. The detection of ESBL-Ec was performed phenotypically using cultural methods and genotypically by ESBL genetic determinants using multiplex polymerase chain reaction. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the ESBL-Ec isolates was performed using the disk diffusion method with 15 common antimicrobials. Results In this study, out of the 100 samples tested, 70 (70%) were found to be positive for E. coli. Among these, 41 (58.6%) strains were identified as ESBL-producing, both phenotypically and genotypically, with the presence of blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaSHV individually or combined (blaCTX-M plus blaTEM plus blaSHV). The antibiogram of these ESBL-positive isolates revealed high resistance against commonly used antibiotics, such as ampicillin, cefotaxime, and gentamicin (100%), azithromycin (88%), oxytetracycline (27%), nalidixic acid, cotrimoxazole/trimethoprim (24%), and streptomycin (22%). In addition, one isolate showed resistance to 4th generation of cephalosporin (cefepime). Most importantly, extensive multidrug resistance was found in many ESBL-Ec isolates. However, the isolates were highly sensitive to drugs such as ceftriaxone (100%) and imipenem (100%). This is the first study to detect ESBL-Ec in raw milk from healthy cows on smallholder dairy farms in Bangladesh. Conclusion More than 58% of the E. coli isolated from raw milk of healthy cows tested positive for ESBL production and showed resistance to most commonly used antimicrobials which may be alarming for human health. A limitation of our study is that we had a small size of sample collected from one district in Bangladesh. Therefore, a larger sample size covering a wider geographic area, and using multi-locus sequence typing and whole genome sequencing could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of ESBL-Ec in Bangladesh.

Comparative molecular profiling of antimicrobial resistance and phylogenetic characterization of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from meat sources in 2009 and 2021 in Japan. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 391-393:110146. [PMID: 36842253 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is alarming. Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes healthcare-associated infections and is a major threat to public health. Currently, no comprehensive antimicrobial surveillance of multidrug-resistant E. coli of diverse phylogroups along the meat value chain has been implemented in Higashihiroshima, Japan. Therefore, by employing the One Health approach, 1183 bacterial isolates, including 303 recovered from meat samples in 2009, were screened for the presence of antimicrobial resistance determinants using multiplex PCR and DNA sequencing techniques. Seventy-seven non-duplicate E. coli isolates that harbored AMR genes were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the detection of integrons. Phylogenetic characterization, which has not been previously investigated, was used to assign E. coli to one of the eight phylogroups. Twenty-six out of 33 (78.8%) and 34 out of 44 (77.3%) E. coli isolates from 2009 and 2021 exhibited multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotypes, respectively. The most common clinical resistance was observed against ampicillin, tetracycline, kanamycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, cefotaxime, and chloramphenicol. Overall, 22.1% (17/77) of the E. coli isolates carried extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-encoding genes and showed the ESBL-resistant phenotypes. For the two isolation years, AmpC/ESBL prevalence decreased from 42.4% in 2009 to 20.5% in 2021. The identified AMR genes included blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-2, blaCTX-M-14, blaCTX-M-15, and blaSHV-12 (ESBL-types); blaSHV-1, blaTEM-1, blaTEM-135, and blaTEM-176 (narrow-spectrum types); blaCMY-4, blaADC-32, blaADC-216, blaACT-48, and blaACT-51 (AmpC types); and integrons. All E. coli isolates were negative for carbapenemase-encoding genes, whereas one isolate from 2009 carried mcr-5.1 allele. Approximately 52% of E. coli isolates identified in 2009 were assigned to phylogroup A compared to the 20.5% in 2021. Notably, the highest proportions of E. coli phylogroups exhibiting MDR were groups A, B1, and F, suggesting that members of these groups are mostly associated with drug resistance. This study highlights the role of meat as a significant reservoir of MDR E. coli and potential source for transmission of AMR genes. Our findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring to track the changes in the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the food chain.

Abstract
Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-producing E. coli) have emerged, causing human and animal infections worldwide. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and molecular genetic features of ESBL-producing and multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli in river water. Methods A total of 172 E. coli samples were collected from the Kok River and Kham River in Chiang Rai, Thailand, during a 10-month period (2020-2021). Results We detected 45.3% of E. coli to be MDR. The prevalence of ESBL-producers was 22%. Among those ESBL-producing strains, CTX-M-15 (44.7%) was predominantly found, followed by CTX-M-55 (26.3%), CTX-M-14 (18.4%), and CTX-M-27 (10.5%). The bla TEM-1 and bla TEM-116 genes were found to be co-harbored with the bla CTX-M genes. Mobile elements, i.e., ISEcp1 and Tn3, were observed. Twelve plasmid replicons were found, predominantly being IncF (76.3%) and IncFIB (52.6%). Whole genome sequencing of ten selected isolates revealed the co-existence of ESBL with mcr genes in two ESBL-producing E. coli. A wide diversity of MLST classifications was observed. An mcr-1.1-pap2 gene cassette was found to disrupt the PUF2806 domain-containing gene, while an mcr-3.4 contig on another isolate contained the nimC/nimA-mcr-3.4-dgkA core segment. Discussion In conclusion, our data provides compelling evidence of MDR and ESBL-producing E. coli, co-existing with mcr genes in river water in northern Thailand, which may be disseminated into other environments and so cause increased risks to public health.

Abstract
Aquaculture is a rapidly expanding sector in which it is important to monitor the occurrence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. The presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL-) or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales is a commonly used indicator of the resistance burden in a given sector. In this study, 641 pieces of farmed fish (sea bream and sea bass), as well as 1075 Mediterranean clams, were analyzed. All ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales collected were whole-genome sequenced. The proportion of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales was 1.4% in fish and 1.6% in clams, carried by Escherichia coli (n = 23) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 4). The ESBL phenotype was exclusively due to the presence of blaCTX-M genes, the most frequent one being blaCTX-M-15. The blaCTX-M-1 gene was also identified in six E. coli, among which four were carried by IncI1/pST3 plasmids, possibly betraying an animal origin. Carbapenemases were absent in fish but identified in two K. pneumoniae isolates from clams (blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-48). Several sequence types (STs) identified were associated with human MDR clones such as E. coli ST131 and ST617, or K. pneumoniae ST307 and ST147. Our results might indicate that bacteria from hospital or farm effluents can reach the open sea and contaminate seafood and fish that are living or raised nearby. Therefore, monitoring the quality of water discharged to the sea and the presence of MDR bacteria in seafood is mandatory to ensure the quality of fishery products.

Abstract
Although the spread of plasmid-mediated antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health concern, food contamination with plasmid-mediated antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in Vietnam has not been well investigated. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of colistin-resistant, carbapenem-resistant, and endemic blaCTX-M in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli isolates. Colistin and carbapenem-resistant ESBL-producing E. coli were isolated from chickens in Vietnam and Japan. Colistin-resistant and AmpC/ESBL-producing E. coli (52% and 93%, respectively) were detected in chickens from Vietnam, in comparison to 52.7%, AmpC/ESBL-producing E. coli found in chicken from Japan. Carbapenem-resistant E. coli has not been isolated in Vietnam and Japan. Genotyping revealed that colistin-resistant E. coli harboured mcr-1, and most of the AmpC/ESBL-related genes were blaCTX-M-55 and blaCTX-M-65 together with blaTEM in Vietnamese chickens and blaCMY-2 in Japanese chickens. Multi-drug resistance analysis showed that ESBL-producing E. coli isolates had greater resistance to quinolones, streptomycin, and chloramphenicol than colistin-resistant E. coli isolates from Vietnam, suggesting the selection of multiple antibiotic resistance genes in ESBL-producing E. coli. In conclusion, colistin-resistant E. coli was detected in approximately half of the chicken samples, the majority of which harboured mcr-1. The high prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli has remained constant in the last 5 years. The predominant blaCTX-M in ESBL-producing E. coli was blaCTX-M-55 or blaCTX-M-65, with the coexistence of blaTEM in Vietnam. These results can be implemented in monitoring systems to overcome the development of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to elucidate the relationship among blaCTX-M-carrying plasmids and their transmission between humans and domestic animals. METHODS Phylogenetic relationship of 90 I1 plasmids harboring blaCTX-M genes encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) was analyzed using the ORF-based binarized structure network analysis of plasmids (OSNAp). RESULTS The majority of plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-1 or blaCTX-M-8 belonged to a single lineage, respectively, and were primarily associated with domestic animals especially chickens. On the other hand, plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-14 or blaCTX-M-15, identified from both humans and domestic animals, were distributed in two or more lineages. CONCLUSION OSNAp has revealed the phylogenetic relationships and diversity of plasmids carrying blaCTX-M more distinctly than pMLST. The findings suggest that circulation of I1 plasmids between humans and animals may contribute to their diversity.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious threats to medical science. Food supply is recognized as a potential source of resistant bacteria, leading to the development of surveillance programs targeting primarily poultry, pork, and beef. These programs are limited in scope, not only in the commodities tested, but also in the organisms targeted (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter); consequently, neither the breadth of food products available nor the organisms that may harbour clinically relevant and (or) mobile resistance genes are identified. Furthermore, there is an inadequate understanding of how international trade in food products contributes to the global dissemination of resistance. This is despite the recognized role of international travel in disseminating antimicrobial-resistant organisms, notably New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase. An increasing number of studies describing antimicrobial-resistant organisms in a variety of imported foods are summarized in this review.

Abstract
The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli is a complex process linked with various mobile genetic elements (MGEs) like plasmids, transposons, and integrons. This study aimed to determine the co-occurrence of ESBL and mcr-1 and their physical linkage with MGEs in E. coli. E. coli strains of chicken origin were obtained from different commercial farms of eastern China from 2010 to 2011. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing, identification of different antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs), and prevalence and evidence involvement of integrons, ISEcp1, ISCR1, and ISApl1, were determined. A multiplex PCR was used to detect virulence genes and the phylogenetic clustering of isolates. Conjugation experiments, plasmid replicon typing were performed to know the transferability of ARGs and MGEs. A total of 83.33% of isolates were found to be multidrug-resistant (MDR). The incidence rate of blaCTX-M, blaSHV,blaTEM, and mcr-1 was found to be 30%, 10.95%, 8.09%, and 36.66%, respectively. The most prevalent combination was noticed for mcr-1 and blaCTX-M 73%, whereas the most prominent blaCTX-M alleles found, were blaCTX-M-55 46%, followed by blaCTX-M-14 31%, and blaCTX-M-15 13%. The frequency of ISEcp1, ISCR1, ISApl1, and int1 was 27.77%, 53.70%, 51.85%, and 70.37% respectively. Most β-lactamases, especially blaCTX-M, blaSHV, and blaTEM, were associated with ISEcp1, ISCR1, and Integron 1, whereas the ISAPl1-mcr-1 segment was observed in mcr-1-positive E. coli isolates. Phylogrouping revealed that group A was the most predominant phylotype, whereas the common virulence genes detected in these isolates were EHEC, EAEC, and EPEC. Conjugation assay also indicated that multiple genetic elements were involved; common plasmids identified were FIB 61.11%, followed by IncHI2 48.14%, and FrepB 33.33%. Propagation of such MDR strains carrying multiple resistance elements among the bacterial population is a threat of worry.

Genomic characterization of multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing Escherichia coli ST58 causing fatal colibacillosis in critically endangered Brazilian merganser (Mergus octosetaceus). Transbound Emerg Dis 2020; 68:258-266. [PMID: 32544292 PMCID: PMC8246901 DOI: 10.1111/tbed.13686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Even though antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria have begun to be detected in wildlife, raising important issues related to their transmission and persistence of clinically important pathogens in the environment, little is known about the role of these bacteria on wildlife health, especially on endangered species. The Brazilian merganser (Mergus octosetaceus) is one of the most threatened waterfowl in the world, classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. In 2019, a fatal case of sepsis was diagnosed in an 8‐day‐old Brazilian merganser inhabiting a zoological park. At necropsy, major gross lesions were pulmonary and hepatic congestion. Using microbiologic and genomic methods, we identified a multidrug‐resistant (MDR) extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (ESBL) CTX‐M‐8‐producing Escherichia coli (designed as PMPU strain) belonging to the international clone ST58, in coelomic cavity, oesophagus, lungs, small intestine and cloaca samples. PMPU strain harboured a broad resistome against antibiotics (cephalosporins, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, sulphonamides, trimethoprim and quinolones), domestic/hospital disinfectants and heavy metals (arsenic, mercury, lead, copper and silver). Additionally, the virulence of E. coli PMPU strain was confirmed using a wax moth (Galleria mellonella) infection model, and it was supported by the presence of virulence genes encoding toxins, adherence factors, invasins and iron acquisition systems. Broad resistome and virulome of PMPU contributed to therapeutic failure and death of the animal. In brief, we report for the first time a fatal colibacillosis by MDR ESBL‐producing E. coli in critically endangered Brazilian merganser, highlighting that besides colonization, critical priority pathogens are threatening wildlife. E. coli ST58 clone has been previously reported in humans, food‐producing animals, wildlife and environment, supporting broad adaptation and persistence at human–animal–environment interface.

Pathogens 2020; 9:pathogens9060420. [PMID: 32481680 PMCID: PMC7350304 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens9060420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2020] [Revised: 05/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Escherichia coli is known as one of the most important foodborne pathogens in humans, and contaminated chicken meat is an important source of foodborne infection with this bacterium. The occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli (ESBL-Ec), in particular, in chicken meat is considered a global health problem. This study aimed to determine the magnitude of E. coli, with special emphasis on ESBL-Ec, along with their phenotypic antimicrobial resistance pattern in frozen chicken meat. The study also focused on the determination of ESBL-encoding genes in E. coli. A total of 113 frozen chicken meat samples were purchased from 40 outlets of nine branded supershops in five megacities in Bangladesh. Isolation and identification of E. coli were done based on cultural and biochemical properties, as well as PCR assay. The resistance pattern was determined by the disc diffusion method. ESBL-encoding genes were determined by multiplex PCR. The results showed that 76.1% of samples were positive for E. coli, of which 86% were ESBL producers. All the isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Resistance to 9-11 and 12-13 antimicrobial classes was observed in 38.4% and 17.4% isolates, respectively, while only 11.6% were resistant to 3-5 classes. Possible extensive drug resistance (pXDR) was found in 2.3% of isolates. High single resistance was observed for oxytetracycline (93%) and amoxicillin (91.9%), followed by ampicillin (89.5%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and pefloxacin (88.4%), and tetracycline (84.9%). Most importantly, 89.6% of isolates were resistant to carbapenems. All the isolates were positive for the blaTEM gene. However, the blaSHV and blaCTX-M-2 genes were identified in two ESBL-non producer isolates. None of the isolates carried the blaCTX-M-1 gene. This study provided evidence of the existence of MDR and pXDR ESBL-Ec in frozen chicken meat in Bangladesh, which may pose a risk to human health if the meat is not properly cooked or pickled raw only. This emphasizes the importance of the implementation of good slaughtering and processing practices by the processors.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health concern for both clinical and veterinary medicine. Rodent feces are one of the major infectious sources of zoonotic pathogens including AMR bacteria. So far, there are limited studies reported focused on Escherichia coli isolated in rodent feces from rural and suburban areas in Vietnam. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli isolated from feces samples of 144 urban rodents caught in Hanoi, Vietnam. A total of 59 AMR E. coli was isolated from urban rodents of which 42 were multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates (resistance to at least three classes of antimicrobial agents), four were extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing isolates and five were colistin-resistant isolates. The highest prevalence of the resistance was against ampicillin (79.7%: 47/59), followed by tetracycline (78.0%: 46/59), nalidixic acid (67.8%: 40/59), sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (59.3%: 35/59), chloramphenicol (45.8%: 27/59), ciprofloxacin (44.1%: 26/59), cefotaxime (30.5%: 18/59), cefodizime (23.7%: 14/59), amoxicillin-clavulanate (22.0%: 13/59), and gentamicin (22.0%: 13/59). With regard to the virulence genes associated with diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC), only aaiC gene found in one AMR isolate. In general, the use of antimicrobials does not aim to treat rodents except for companion animals. However, our findings show the carriage of AMR and MDR E. coli in urban rodents and highlight the potential risk of rodents in Hanoi acting as a reservoir of transferable MDR E. coli, including ESBL-producing, colistin-resistant E. coli, and virulence-associated with DEC.

Abstract
In animal husbandry, antimicrobial agents have been administered as supplements to increase production over the last 60 years. Large-scale animal production has increased the importance of antibiotic management because it may favor the evolution of antimicrobial resistance and select resistant strains. Brazil is a significant producer and exporter of animal-derived food. Although Brazil is still preparing a national surveillance plan, several changes in legislation and timely programs have been implemented. Thus, Brazilian data on antimicrobial resistance in bacteria associated with animals come from official programs and the scientific community. This review aims to update and discuss the available Brazilian data on this topic, emphasizing legal aspects, incidence, and genetics of the resistance reported by studies published since 2009, focusing on farm animals and derived foods with the most global public health impact. Studies are related to poultry, cattle, and pigs, and mainly concentrate on non-typhoid Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. We also describe legal aspects of antimicrobial use in this context; and the current occurrence of genetic elements associated with resistance to beta-lactams, colistin, and fluoroquinolones, among other antimicrobial agents. Data here presented may be useful to provide a better understanding of the Brazilian status on antimicrobial resistance related to farm animals and animal-derived food products.

Abstract
Background We investigate here the presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from stool samples of yellow-legged gulls and chickens (n = 136) in urban parks and beaches of Marseille, France. Bacterial isolation was performed on selective media, including MacConkey agar with ceftriaxone and LBJMR medium. Antibiotic resistance genes, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) (i.e. blaCTX-M, blaTEM and blaSHV), carbapenemases (blaKPC, blaVIM, blaNDM, blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24, blaOXA-48 and blaOXA-58) and colistin resistance genes (mcr-1 to mcr-5) were screened by real-time PCR and standard PCR and sequenced when found. Results Of the 136 stools samples collected, seven ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria (BGN) and 12 colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae were isolated. Among them, five ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and eight colistin-resistant Hafnia alvei strains were identified. Four blaTEM-1 genes were detected in yellow-legged gulls and chickens. Three CTX-M-15 genes were detected in yellow-legged gulls and pigeons, and one CTX-M-1 in a yellow-legged gull. No mcr-1 to mcr-5 gene were detected in colistin-resistant isolates. Genotyping of E. coli strains revealed four different sequence types already described in humans and animals and one new sequence type. Conclusions Urban birds, which are believed to have no contact with antibiotics appear as potential source of ESBL genes. Our findings highlight the important role of urban birds in the proliferation of multidrug-resistant bacteria and also the possible zoonotic transmission of such bacteria from wild birds to humans.

Abstract
In this study we characterized the genetic environment of blaCTX-M and blaCMY-2 genes carried by 46 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from 20 chicken carcasses produced by five different brands in Brazil, including exporters and antibiotic-free-certified producers, purchased between 2010 and 2014. Similar plasmids characterized according to size and incompatibility group (Inc) were identified in E. coli belonging to different MLST-ST collected, regardless of carcass brand or production system. Hybridization assays with transconjugant strains revealed that blaCMY-2 gene (n = 19) was located on 85 kb plasmids of IncB/O, IncI1, IncFIB, or nontypeable groups. blaCTX-M-8 (n = 9) was located on 90 kb IncI1 plasmids. blaCTX-M-2 (n = 14) was inserted in class 1 integrons and conjugated only by one isolate in a 125 kb IncP plasmid. blaCTX-M-15 (n = 1), rarely described in isolates from food-producing animals in South America, was characterized by whole genome sequencing of transconjugant; the gene was carried in a 49.3 kb IncX1 plasmid. Sequencing of bla gene-flanking regions indicated the association of these genes with previously described insertion sequences. These results suggest that conserved genetic environments are related to ESBL and pAmpC genes in the Brazilian chicken production chain.

Abstract
The increase in antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria caused by antimicrobial usage is a public health problem. We investigated the proportion of cephalexin (LEX)-resistant bacteria in fresh feces obtained from antimicrobial-free broilers in three flocks at <15, 15-40, and> 40 days old. DHL agar plates containing 25 μg/mL LEX (DHL-L) showed LEX-resistant bacteria in all flocks at <15 days old and in one flock at > 40 days old. The bacterial counts on DHL and DHL-L were 105-108 colony forming units (CFU)/g feces and <102-105 CFU/g feces, respectively. We also assessed the proportion of AMR bacteria in feces collected at 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, and 40 days old from two flocks treated with amoxicillin at 5-7 days old and co-trimoxazole at 24-26 days old. The proportion of ampicillin (AMP)-resistant bacteria was elevated at 12 and 26-33 days old on DHL containing 50 μg/mL AMP, while no increase in LEX-resistant bacteria was observed on DHL-L. All isolates tested exhibited AMP resistance at 12 days old, while most exhibited resistance to both AMP and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole at 26-33 days old. Our results suggest that antimicrobial administration influenced the selection of AMR bacteria with cross- and coresistance.

OBJECTIVES Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) are a serious public health concern worldwide. The aim of this study was to characterise ESBL-EC isolated from raw retail chicken in South Korea. METHODS The antimicrobial resistance, phylogenetic group and virulence gene prevalence of 67 ESBL-EC isolated from retail chicken in South Korea were investigated. RESULTS All of the isolates possessed blaCTX-M genes, predominantly blaCTX-M-65 (52.2%) and blaCTX-M-55 (25.4%), and three isolates harboured both blaCTX-M-65 and blaCTX-M-55. More than one-half of the ESBL-EC strains also carried blaTEM. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that 98.5% of the strains were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Phylogenetic analysis showed that group A was predominant (56.7%), followed by B1 (19.4%), E (8.9%), B2 (6.0%) and D (6.0%). Virulence genes associated with extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) were frequently detected in isolates of phylogenetic groups B1, B2, D and E. CONCLUSION The results in this study demonstrate that retail chicken in South Korea is highly contaminated with MDR ESBL-EC and may serve as a reservoir for transmitting ExPEC to humans.

Abstract
Pathogenic Escherichia coli found in humans and poultry carcasses harbor similar virulence and resistance genes. The present study aimed to analyze the distribution of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) virulence factors (VF), blaCTX−M groups, fosA3, and mcr-1 genes in E. coli isolated from commercialized chicken carcasses in southern Brazil and to evaluate their pathogenic risk. A total of 409 E. coli strains were isolated and characterized for genes encoding virulence factors described in ExPEC. Results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing confirmed that the strains were resistant to β-lactams, fosfomycin, colistin, and others resistance groups. The highest prevalence of VFs was observed in isolates belonging to the CTX-M groups, especially the CTX-M-2 group, when compared to those in other susceptible strains or strains with different mechanisms of resistance. Furthermore, ESBL strains were found to be 1.40 times more likely to contain three to five ExPEC virulence genes than non-ESBL strains. Our findings revealed the successful conjugation between ESBL-producing E. coli isolated from chicken carcass and the E. coli recipient strain J53, which suggested that genetic determinants encoding CTX-M enzymes may have originated from animals and could be transmitted to humans via food chain. In summary, chicken meat is a potential reservoir of MDR E. coli strains harboring resistance and virulence genes that could pose serious risks to human public health.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize two third-generation cephalosporins- and
quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli (TGCs- and Q-R-Ec)
isolates recovered from the ovaries of a broiler breeder flock and the internal contents
of hatching eggs produced by the broiler breeder flock. Clonal relatedness was determined
by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The isolates displayed the same multidrug resistance
profile, with resistance to ampicillin, ticarcillin, piperacillin, cefazollin,
cephalothin, cefotaxime, nalidixic acid, tetracycline and sulfonamides. Double disk
synergy test demonstrated that the two isolates presented an ESBL phenotype. PCR and
sequencing results showed that both the isolates harbored the
blaCTX-M-1 and qnrS1 genes. MLST revealed a
novel allele combination, designated as ST461, in these isolates. This study would
contribute to the molecular epidemiological understanding of TGCs- and/or
Q-R-Ec.
