Abstract
The One Health approach of antimicrobial resistance highlighted the role of the aquatic environment as a reservoir and dissemination source of resistance genes and resistant bacteria, especially due to anthropogenic activities. Resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) conferred by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in E. coli has been proposed as the major marker of the AMR burden in cross-sectoral approaches. In this study, we investigated wastewater, surface water and seawater that are subjected to official water quality monitoring in Monastir, Tunisia. While all but one sample were declared compliant according to the official tests, ESC-resistant bacteria were detected in 31 (19.1 %) samples. Thirty-nine isolates, coming from urban, industrial and surface water in Monastir, were collected and characterized using antibiograms and whole-genome sequencing. These isolates were identified as 27 Escherichia coli (69.3 %) belonging to 13 STs, 10 Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.6 %) belonging to six STs, and two Citrobacter freundii (5.1 %). We observed the persistence and dissemination of clones over time and in different sampling sites, and no typically human-associated pathogens could be identified apart from one ST131. All isolates presented a blaCTX-M gene - blaCTX-M-15 (n = 22) and blaCTX-M-55 (n = 8) being the most frequent variants - which were identified on plasmids (n = 20) or on the chromosome (n = 19). In conclusion, we observed ESC resistance in rather ubiquitous bacteria that are capable of surviving in the water environment. This suggests that including the total coliform count and the ESBL count as determined by bacterial growth on selective plates in the official monitoring would greatly improve water quality control in Tunisia.

Abstract
The presence of methicillin-resistant or -susceptible S. aureus in pig nostrils has been known for a long time, but the occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli has hardly been investigated. Here, we collected 25 E. coli recovered from nasal samples of 40 pigs/10 farmers of four farms. Nine ESBL-producing isolates belonging to ST48, ST117, ST847, ST5440, ST14914 and ST10 were retrieved from seven pigs. All blaESBL genes (blaCTX-M-32,blaCTX-M-14,blaCTX-M-1,blaCTX-M-65, and blaSHV-12) were horizontally transferable by conjugation through plasmids belonging to IncI1 (n=3), IncX1 (n=3) and IncHI2 (n=1) types. IncI1-plasmids displayed different genetic environments: i) IS26-blaSHV-12-deoR-IS26, ii) wbuC-blaCTX-M-32-ISKpn26 (IS5), and iii) IS930-blaCTX-M-14-IS26. The IncHI2-plasmid contained the genetic environment IS903-blaCTX-M-65-fipA with multiple resistance genes associated either to: a) Tn21-like transposon harbouring genes conferring aminoglycosides/beta-lactams/chloramphenicol/macrolides resistance located on two atypical class 1 integrons with an embedded ΔTn5393; or b) Tn1721-derived transposon displaying an atypical class 1 integron harbouring aadA2-arr3-cmlA5-blaOXA-10-aadA24-dfrA14, preceding the genetic platform IS26-blaTEM-95-tet(A)-lysR-floR-virD2-ISVsa3-IS3075-IS26-qnrS1, as well as the tellurite resistance module. Other plasmids harbouring clinically relevant genes were detected, such as a ColE-type plasmid carrying the mcr-4.5 gene. Chromosomally encoded genes (fosA7) or integrons (intI1-dfrA1-aadA1-qacE-sul1/intI1-IS15-dfrA1-aadA2) were also identified. Finally, an IncY plasmid harbouring a class 2 integron (intI2-dfrA1-sat2-aadA1-qacL-IS406-sul3) was detected but not associated with a blaESBL gene. Our results evidence that pig nostrils might favour the spread of ESBL-E. coli and mcr-mediated colistin-resistance. Therefore, enhanced monitoring should be considered, especially in a sector where close contact between animals in intensive farming increases the risk of spreading antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Wild birds are vectors of antimicrobial resistance. Birds living in close contact with humans or other animals, like feral pigeons (Columba livia), might be especially prone to acquire resistance genes such as those encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases. METHODS Cloacal samples (n = 206) of free-living feral pigeons (C. livia) were collected in Sousse and Monastir, Tunisia. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were determined by disc-diffusion, and resistant isolates were short- and long-read whole-genome sequenced. Sequence analysis was performed using tools of the Centre for Genomic Epidemiology, and Phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the core-genome MLST. RESULTS Fourteen (14/206, 6.8%) pigeons harboured Enterobacterales resistant to last-generations cephalosporins, of which 10 were CTX-M-15- or CTX-M-27-producers, while two (1.0%) carried a VIM-2-producing Pseudomonas putida. Positive pigeons lived on four different livestock farms. Three STs (ST206, ST5584, ST8149) were identified among E. coli, of which ST5584 and ST8149 were found in two different farms. Genetic diversity was also observed in Enterobacter cloacae and P. putida isolates. The blaCTX-M-27 genes were chromosomally encoded, while the blaCTX-M-15 genes were carried on highly similar IncF/F-:A-:B53 plasmids. The blaVIM-2 gene was located on a class 1 integron co-harbouring several resistance genes. CONCLUSION Pigeons living on livestock farms carried clinically important resistance genes encoding ESBLs and carbapenemases. Our results evidenced that both clonal (ST8149 and ST5584) and plasmidic (IncF/F-:A-:B53) transfers played a role in the spread of resistance genes among pigeons. Further studies are needed to identify factors favouring the transfer and persistence of resistance genes within the pigeon communities.

Abstract
European starlings are widespread migratory birds that have already been described as carrying bacteria resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC-R). These birds are well known in Tunisia because they spend the wintertime in this country and are hunted for human consumption. The goal of our study was to estimate the proportion of ESC-R in these birds and to characterize the collected isolates using whole-genome sequencing. Results showed that 21.5% (42/200) of the birds carried either an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) or an acquired AmpC gene. Diverse bla CTX-M genes were responsible for the ESBL phenotype, bla CTX-M-14 being the most prevalent, while only bla CMY-2 and one bla CMY-62 were found in AmpC-positive isolates. Likewise, different genetic determinants carried these resistance genes, including IncHI2, and IncF plasmids for bla CTX-M genes and IncI1 plasmids for bla CMY-2 genes. Three chromosomally encoded bla CTX-M-15 genes were also identified. Surprisingly, species identification revealed a large proportion (32.7%) of Escherichia marmotae isolates. This species is phenotypically indistinguishable from Escherichia coli and has obviously the same capacity to acquire ESC-R genes. Our data also strongly suggest that at least the IncHI2/pST3 plasmid can spread equally between E. coli and E. marmotae. Given the potential transmission routes between humans and animals, either by direct contact with dejections or through meat preparation, it is important to closely monitor antimicrobial resistance in European starlings in Tunisia and to set up further studies to identify the sources of contamination of these birds. IMPORTANCE The One Health concept highlighted knowledge gaps in the understanding of the transmission routes of resistant bacteria. A major interest was shown in wild migratory birds since they might spread resistant bacteria over long distances. Our study brings further evidence that wild birds, even though they are not directly submitted to antibiotic treatments, can be heavily contaminated by resistant bacteria. Our results identified numerous combinations of resistance genes, genetic supports, and bacterial clones that can spread vertically or horizontally and maintain a high level of resistance in the bird population. Some of these determinants are widespread in humans or animals (IncHI2/pST3 plasmids and pandemic clones), while some others are less frequent (atypical IncI1 plasmid and minor clones). Consequently, it is essential to be aware of the risks of transmission and to take all necessary measures to prevent the proportions of resistant isolates from increasing uncontrollably.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to characterize Escherichia coli isolates from cloacal samples of white stork nestlings, with a special focus on extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing E. coli isolates and their plasmid content. METHODS Cloacal samples of 88 animals were seeded on MacConkey-agar and chromogenic-ESBL plates to recover E. coli and ESBL-producing E. coli. Antimicrobial susceptibility was screened using the disc diffusion method, and the genotypic characterization was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequent sequencing. S1 nuclease Pulsed-Field-Gel-Electrophoresis (PFGE), Southern blotting, and conjugation essays were performed on ESBL-producing E. coli, as well as whole-genome sequencing by short- and long-reads. The four blaESBL-carrying plasmids were completely sequenced. RESULTS A total of 113 non-ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were collected on antibiotic-free MacConkey-agar, of which 27 (23.9%) showed a multidrug-resistance (MDR) phenotype, mainly associated with β-lactam-phenicol-sulfonamide resistance (blaTEM/cmlA/floR/sul1/sul2/sul3). Moreover, four white stork nestlings carried ESBL-producing E. coli (4.5%) with the following characteristics: blaSHV-12/ST38-D, blaSHV-12/ST58-B1, blaCTX-M-1/ST162-B1, and blaCTX-M-32/ST155-B1. Whole-genome sequencing followed by Southern blot hybridizations on S1-PFGE gels in ESBL-positive isolates proved that the blaCTX-M-1 gene and one of the blaSHV-12 genes were carried by IncI1/pST3 plasmids, while the second blaSHV-12 gene and the blaCTX-M-32 gene were located on IncF plasmids. The two blaSHV-12 genes and the two blaCTX-M genes had similar but non-identical close genetic environments, as all four genes were flanked by a variety of insertion sequences. CONCLUSION The role played by several genetic platforms in the mobility of ESBL genes allows for interchangeability on a remarkably small scale (gene-plasmid-clones), which may support the spread of ESBL genes.

Abstract
Introduction Colistin-resistance widely disseminated in food-producing animals due to decades of colistin use to treat diarrhea. The plasmid-borne mcr-1 gene has been extensively reported from bovine, swine and chicken worldwide, but smaller productions such as the goat farming sector were much less surveyed. Methods We looked for colistin-resistant isolates presenting plasmid-borne genes of the mcr family in both breeding (n=80) and fattening farms (n=5). Localization of the mcr-1 gene was performed using Southern blot analysis coupled to short-read and long-read sequencing. Results Only the mcr-1 gene was identified in 10% (8/80) of the breeding farms and four over the five fattening farms. In total, 4.2% (65/1561) of the animals tested in breeding farms and 60.0% (84/140) of those tested in fattening farms presented a mcr-1-positive E. coli. The mcr-1 gene was located either on the chromosome (32.2%) or on IncX4 (38.9%) and IncHI2 (26.8%) plasmids. As expected, both clonal expansion and plasmidic transfers were observed in farms where the mcr-1 gene was carried by plasmids. Tn6330 transposition was observed in the chromosome of diverse E. coli sequence types within the same farm. Discussion Our results show that the mcr-1 gene is circulating in goat production and is located either on plasmids or on the chromosome. Evidence of Tn6330 transposition highlighted the fact that chromosomal insertion does not impair the transmission capability of the mcr-1 gene. Only strict hygiene and biosecurity procedures in breeding farms, as well as a prudent use of antibiotics in fattening farms, can avoid such complex contamination pathways.

Abstract
Improvements in cost and speed of next generation sequencing (NGS) have provided a new pathway for delivering disease diagnosis, molecular typing, and detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Numerous published methods and protocols exist, but a lack of harmonisation has hampered meaningful comparisons between results produced by different methods/protocols vital for global genomic diagnostics and surveillance. As an exemplar, this study evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of five well-established in-silico AMR detection software where the genotype results produced from running a panel of 436 Escherichia coli were compared to their AMR phenotypes, with the latter used as gold-standard. The pipelines exploited previously known genotype–phenotype associations. No significant differences in software performance were observed. As a consequence, efforts to harmonise AMR predictions from sequence data should focus on: (1) establishing universal minimum to assess performance thresholds (e.g. a control isolate panel, minimum sensitivity/specificity thresholds); (2) standardising AMR gene identifiers in reference databases and gene nomenclature; (3) producing consistent genotype/phenotype correlations. The study also revealed limitations of in-silico technology on detecting resistance to certain antimicrobials due to lack of specific fine-tuning options in bioinformatics tool or a lack of representation of resistance mechanisms in reference databases. Lastly, we noted user friendliness of tools was also an important consideration. Therefore, our recommendations are timely for widespread standardisation of bioinformatics for genomic diagnostics and surveillance globally.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with healthcare settings, the role of veterinary hospitals in the spread of extended-spectrum cephalosporin- and carbapenem-resistant (ESC-R/CP-R) bacteria has been overlooked. OBJECTIVES To investigate using genome-based approaches the dynamics of ESC-R and CP-R Enterobacterales among 125 dogs admitted to the same veterinary hospital over a 4 month period. METHODS Dogs (n = 125) were sampled within 48 h of admission and at discharge. ESC-R/CP-R were phenotypically characterized and whole-genome sequenced using short- and long-read technologies. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using appropriate pipelines. RESULTS ESC-R/CP-R prevalence in dogs was 4.8% (6/125) upon admission and reached 24.8% (31/125) at discharge, reflecting multiple acquisitions of ESBL/AmpC and OXA-48-positive Enterobacterales during hospitalization. Indistinguishable or closely related isolates were found within dogs, shared between dogs, and shared between dogs and their environment, suggesting numerous clonal and plasmid spreads. Even though carbapenems are not licensed for use in companion animals, a wide distribution of the blaOXA-48/IncL plasmid was evidenced across different bacterial species and dogs. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights nosocomial acquisitions of ESBL/AmpC and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales by companion animals and the risk of further transmission within the community in a One Health perspective. Reinforced infection prevention and control measures and screening procedures are urgently needed in small animal veterinary settings where advanced therapeutics and intensive care is provided.

Abstract
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a colonizer as well as an important pathogen of dogs where it is responsible for skin, ear and post-operative infections. The emergence of methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) in the early 2000s, which were additionally resistant to most veterinary-licensed antibiotics, drew specific attention to these pathogens due to the limitations created in veterinary therapeutic options. Multiple studies showed that the sequence type (ST)71 was the most frequently identified clone in Europe. A few years ago, several publications have suggested a decline of the ST71 clone and the emergence of the ST258 lineage in Northern Europe. In this study, we show that ST71 is also decreasing over time in France and that the non-ST71 population is highly heterogeneous. Globally, the non-ST71 clones are more susceptible to antibiotics, which might be good news for veterinarians. Two other lineages, ST258 and ST496, seem to be successful in France. These isolates, as well as representatives of the ST71 clone, underwent whole-genome sequence. This study shows that the ST71 and ST496 clusters are highly homogenous while the ST258 cluster is more diverse. Each ST possesses a specific pattern of resistance and virulence genes. The reasons for the apparent and simultaneous success of the ST258 and ST496 clones remain unclear. But the emergence of the ST496 clone will require monitoring given its multi-resistant genotype and threat to canine health.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been reported as a worldwide pathogen in humans and animals including companion animals, i.e., cats, dogs, and horses. France lacked a comprehensive nationwide study describing the molecular features of MRSA circulating among companion animals over a large period of time. Here is reported the characterization of 130 non-duplicate clinical MRSA isolates collected from those three animal species from 2010 to 2015 through the French national Resapath network. Characterization of isolates was performed using phenotypic (antimicrobial susceptibility tests) and molecular (DNA arrays, spa-typing) methods. A horse-specific epidemiology was observed in France with the large dissemination of a unique clone, the CC398 clone harboring a Staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) type IV and spa-type t011. It was even the unique clone collected in 2015 whereas the clone CC8 USA500 (SCCmec type IV), classically described in horses, was present until 2014. Contrarily, cats and dogs were mainly infected by human-related MRSA isolates, i.e., clones usually reported in human infections, thus mirroring the human epidemiology in hospitals in France. Isolates belonging to the CC398 clone (SCCmec type IV or V) were also identified in 21.4% of dogs' and 26.5% of cats' MRSA isolates. In order to differentiate human-related from CC398 MRSA, tetracycline-resistance [or tet(M) detection] could be useful since this resistance is scarce in human-related strains but constant in CC398 MRSA isolates. In all, our data give a nationwide epidemiological picture of MRSA in companion animals over a 5-year period in France, adding further epidemiological information on the contribution of those animal species to a major public health issue. Considering the wide dissemination of CC398 MRSA isolates and the fact that 11/64 (17.2%) of them presented the Immune Evasion Cluster which enhances CC398 capacities to colonize humans, a specific attention should be paid in the coming years to determine the risk associated to the transmission in people in frequent contacts with companion animals. Our data also show that the prevalence of MRSA has likely decreased in cats, dogs, and horses between 2012 and 2015 in France. This trend should be monitored in the years to come.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and molecular features of extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance in Escherichia coli isolates contaminating ground beef at retail in Algeria. Of 371 ground beef samples, 27.5% were found to contain cefotaxime-resistant E. coli isolates distributed into A (24.5%), B1 (60.8%), and D (14.7%) phylogroups. A rate of 88.2% of isolates had a multidrug-resistance phenotype. All strains were producers of CTX-M type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs): CTX-M-1, CTX-M-3, CTX-M-14, CTX-M-15, CTX-M-24, or CTX-M-32. Conjugation assays allowed the transfer of blaCTX-M-1 in association with IncI1 plasmids, blaCTX-M-15 with IncI1 and IncK+B/O plasmids, blaCTX-M-3 with IncK plasmids, and blaCTX-M-14 with IncF1B or IncK plasmids. Sequence analysis of gyrA and parC genes showed mutations in 98.6% of ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates. The patterns "GyrA: S83L+D87N, ParC: S80I" (46.5%) and "ParC: S80I" (42.3%) were predominant. qnrS1, qnrB, and aac(6')-Ib-cr were detected in 18.7% of isolates. The tet genes, tetA, tetB, and tetA+tetB, were present in 95.7% of tetracycline-resistant isolates. The sul genes (sul1, sul2, sul3, sul1+sul2, sul2+sul3, and sul1+sul3) and the dfr gene clusters (dfrA1, dfrA5, dfrA7, dfrA8, dfrA12, dfrA5+dfrA12, dfrA1+dfrA5, dfrA7+dfrA12, dfrA5+dfrA7, and dfrA1+dfrA5+dfrA7) were found in 96.4% and 85.5% of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim-resistant isolates, respectively. Classes 1 and 2 integrons were detected in 67.6% and 9.8% of isolates, respectively. This study highlighted the significant presence of resistance genes, in particular those of CTXM ESBLs, in the beef meat, with the risk of their transmission to humans through food chain.

Abstract
Carbapenems are major antibiotics reserved to human medicine. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance of a selection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa veterinary strains from the French network Resapath. Thirty (5.7%) imipenem and/or meropenem non-susceptible P. aeruginosa of canine (n = 24), feline (n = 5), or bovine (n = 1) origin were identified in a large collection of 527 veterinary strains gathered by the Resapath. These resistant isolates belonged to 25 MultiLocus Sequence Types (MLST), of which 17 (68%) are shared with clinical (human) strains, such as high risk clones ST233 and ST395. Interestingly, none of the veterinary strains produced a carbapenemase, and only six of them (20%) harbored deletions or insertion sequence (IS) disrupting the porin OprD gene. The remaining 24 strains contained mutations or IS in various loci resulting in down-regulation of gene oprD coupled with upregulation of efflux system CzcCBA (n = 3; activation of sensor kinase CzcS ± CopS), MexEF-OprN (n = 4; alteration of oxido reductase MexS), MexXY (n = 8; activation of two-component system ParRS), or MexAB-OprM (n = 12; alteration of regulator MexR, NalC ± NalD). Two efflux pumps were co-produced simultaneously in three mutants. Finally, in 11 out of 12 strains displaying an intact porin OprD, derepression of MexAB-OprM accounted for a decreased susceptibility to meropenem relative to imipenem. Though not treated by carbapenems, animals thus represent a reservoir of multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa strains potentially able to contaminate fragile outpatients.

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

Abstract
F17 fimbriae are produced by pathogenic Escherichia coli involved in diarrhea and septicemia outbreaks in calves and lambs. These proteins result from the expression of four different clustered genes, namely f17A, f17D, f17C and f17G, encoding a pilin protein, a periplasmic protein, an anchor protein and an adhesin protein, respectively. Several variants of f17A and f17G genes have been reported and found genetically associated with typical virulence factors of bovine pathogenic E. coli strains. In this study, a new F17e-A variant, closely related to F17b-A, was identified from a collection of 58 E. coli isolates from diarrheic calves in Iran. While highly prevalent in Iranian F17-producing clinical isolates from calves, this variant was rare among E. coli from a French healthy adult bovine population, suggesting a possible association with virulence. The f17Ae gene was also found in the genome of the Shiga-like toxin variant Stx1d-producing bovine E. coli strain MHI813, and belonged to a gene cluster also encoding a new F17-G3 variant, which greatly differed from F17-G1 and F17-G2. This gene cluster was located on a pathogenicity island integrated in the tRNA pheV gene. The gene coding for a third new F17f-A variant corresponding to a combination of F17c-A and F17d-A was also identified on the pVir68 plasmid in the bovine pathogenic E. coli strain 6.0900. In conclusion, we identified three new F17-A and F17-G variants in cattle E. coli, which may also have significant impact on the development of new diagnostics and vaccination tools.

Abstract
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a frequent pathogen in dogs. The emergence of meticillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP), which is concomitantly resistant to nearly all veterinary licensed antibiotics used for systemic treatment in dogs, is a major problem for veterinarians. In France, 16.9% (41/243) of the S. pseudintermedius collected in 2010 were MRSP. They mainly belonged to the multiresistant MLST sequence type ST71, spa type t02, SCCmec type II-III (ST71-t02-II-III) European clone. Moreover, we also report the emergence of multiresistant meticillin-susceptible S. pseudintermedius isolates presenting atypical and/or new spa types. This study highlights the need for surveillance, optimised treatment guidelines and new therapeutic alternatives.

Abstract
Food-producing animals have become a growing reservoir of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria. In cattle, veal calves are exposed to high amounts of antibiotics but ESBL prevalence data are still limited compared to other food sectors such as poultry production. Based on the investigation of 491 veal calves from different slaughtering batches at 12 abattoirs, this study shows a prevalence of 29.4% of ESBL producers in the faecal flora of veal calves in France in 2012. A variety of blaCTX-M genes was found, reflecting possible diverse pathways of dissemination in cattle. Another major conclusion is the comparison of the ESBL prevalence in the dominant versus sub-dominant Escherichia coli population of the same calves (1% and 29.4%, respectively). Also, the ESBL E. coli clones in the sub-dominant flora mostly differed from the non-ESBL dominant E. coli clones of the same calves. Of note, the distribution of blaCTX-M genes and E. coli phylogroups were similar to the ones previously found in ESBL E. coli clones from diseased calves. The hypothesis that ESBL genes may distribute more abundantly in certain backgrounds of E. coli was also discussed. In all, as recently reported in the Netherlands, these results strongly suggest a recent increase in the prevalence of ESBL carriage in French veal calves, which should be considered one of the major ESBL reservoirs in food animals.

Abstract
In both humans and animals, the spread of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL)/AmpC producers has become a major issue, particularly due to the plasmidic dissemination of most of these genes. Besides, over-expression of the chromosomal ampC gene was largely reported in human and animal Enterobacteriaceae and, more recently, modifications within the coding region of the ampC gene [encoding Extended-spectrum AmpC β-lactamases (ESACs)] were shown to be responsible for an hydrolysis spectrum expanded to oxyiminocephalosporins in humans. In this study, among 6765 cattle E. coli isolates, 28 (0.37%) isolates harboring a reduced susceptibility to cefepime (MICs ranging from 0.5 to 12 μg/ml) were investigated as presumptive ESACs producers. Highly conserved mutations in the promoter/attenuator region were identified at positions -88, -82, -42, -18, -1, and +58. Using sequencing and cloning experiments, amino acid substitutions of the AmpC beta-lactamase were characterized at positions 287 (mostly S287N, but also S287C), 292 (A292V) and 296 (H296P), similarly to data reported in humans. Interestingly, those cattle ESAC-producing E. coli isolates predominantly belonged to the Clonal Complex (CC) 23, thus mirroring what has been described in humans. The driving forces for the selection of ESACs in animals are unknown, and their prevalence needs to be further investigated in the different animal sectors. Considering the over-representation of ESAC-producing E. coli belonging to CC23 in both humans and animals, exchanges of ESAC producers between the two populations may have occurred as well. To our best knowledge, this study is the first report of ESACs in animals worldwide, which should be considered an emerging mechanism contributing to the resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in the animal population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize bla(CTX-M) IncFII plasmids and clones of Escherichia coli from cats and dogs and to compare them with bla(CTX-M) IncFII plasmids reported in humans. METHODS From December 2006 to April 2010, 518 E. coli isolates from clinical infections in cats and dogs were screened for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by disc diffusion and resistance genes were identified by PCR and sequencing. Plasmids were characterized using PCR-based replicon typing and sub-typing schemes, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, S1-PFGE and Southern hybridization. Isolates were characterized by PFGE, phylogenetic grouping, O25b typing and multilocus sequence typing. RESULTS Nineteen E. coli isolates (3.7%) produced ESBLs, of which 14 (74%) carried bla(CTX-M) IncFII plasmids. The bla(CTX-M) gene was predominant and located on F31:A4:B1, F36:A4:B1 or F36:A1:B20 plasmids, abundantly reported in humans. The bla(CTX-M) F22:A1:B20 or F2:A2:B20 plasmids were also found. Different sequence types (STs) were identified, such as ST10, ST410, ST359, ST617 and ST224. Only one E. coli isolate belonged to the ST131 E. coli clone and carried a bla(CTX-M) F2:A2:B20 plasmid. CONCLUSIONS This is the first known extensive study on ESBL-producing E. coli isolates from pets in France. The ST131 clone was rare. However, the predominance of human-like bla(CTX-M) IncFII plasmids suggests exchanges of these plasmids with the human reservoir.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clinical strains from cats and dogs in France, and to compare the clones identified with the distribution of French human MRSA. METHODS Susceptibilities to antimicrobials were assessed by disc diffusion. Resistance and virulence genes were screened using a microarray-based assay. Isolates were additionally characterized by SmaI macrorestriction analysis and spa typing. RESULTS From 2006 to 2010, the proportion of MRSA infections in pets in France was low (1.8%), but most isolates (87.0%, 20/23) belonged to human clones. The most common clones were the Lyon clone (69.6%, 16/23), the livestock-associated CC398 (13.0%, 3/23) and the Geraldine clone (8.7%, 2/23). Interestingly, we report the first USA300 clone infecting a European dog, which was probably imported by a US patient. CONCLUSIONS Over a 5 year period, the proportion of MRSA infections in pets appears low (<2%) in France, but the distribution of the clones mostly mirrors the epidemiology of human invasive clones. These data highlight the role of pets as both victims and reservoirs of endemic, epidemic and/or invasive MRSA.

Abstract
Feces from 2,255 cattle (calves, young beef cattle, and culled cows) were collected at slaughter from nine departments across France. Campylobacter was recovered from 16.5% of the 2,255 samples (C. jejuni from 12.8% and C. coli from 3.7%), predominantly from calves. Antimicrobial resistance to six antibiotics of medical and/or veterinary interest was tested with the E-test. Resistance to tetracycline was found in most isolates (52.8% of C. jejuni isolates and 88.1% of C. coli isolates) in contrast to low but consistent resistance to ampicillin and erythromycin. Only two C. coli isolates were resistant to gentamicin. Multiple resistance was frequently detected in C. jejuni and C. coli isolates, and 0.8% (3 of 372) of the isolates were resistant to five of the six antimicrobials. An upward trend in the resistance to quinolones and fluoroquinolones in C. jejuni from calves was found; resistance to nalidixic acid reached 70.4% in 2006 and fluoroquinolone resistance increased from 29.7 to 70.4% during 2002 through 2006. All data were analyzed in parallel using clinical breakpoints or epidemiological cutoff values, and the results overlapped largely, except those for gentamicin. This 5-year survey (2002 through 2006) gives the first overview of the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of C. jejuni and C. coli in cattle in France and documents to what extent cattle may contribute to the environmental reservoir of Campylobacter in France in the context of recurrent reports on links between human campylobacterioses and livestock. The results underline a notable increase in the resistance to fluoroquinolones in C. jejuni from cattle that may be of significant importance for public health.
