Project description:Transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes has increased the global prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria, especially in developing countries. Human infection with these bacteria may be food-mediated but has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to examine ESBL-producing bacteria in edible river fish and elucidate their potential for horizontal gene transfer. A total of 173 ESBL-producing Enterobacterales were isolated (Escherichia coli [n = 87], Klebsiella pneumoniae [n = 52], Enterobacter cloacae complex [n = 18], Citrobacter freundii complex [n = 14], Atlantibacter hermannii [n = 1] and Serratia fonticola [n = 1]) from 56 of 80 fish intestinal contents sampled. Among the bacterial bla CTX-M genotypes, bla CTX-M-55 was the most predominant, followed by bla CTX-M-15, bla CTX-M-27, and bla CTX-M-65. Furthermore, we found that ESBL-producing Enterobacterales were able to transfer their bla CTX-M genes to E. coli. In summary, our results suggest that ESBL-producing Enterobacterales transfer bla CTX-M to indigenous gut E. coli in humans, following the consumption of contaminated fish.

Project description:Escherichia coli sequence type 405 is an emerging antibiotic-resistant clonal group associated with the global dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli. In this study, we report the genome assembly and characterization of a uropathogenic E. coli ST405 strain, SZESBLEC201, based on long and short reads obtained from the Nanopore and Illumina sequencing platforms, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that SZESBLEC201 harbors a 5,020,403 bp chromosome and three plasmids, namely, pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-2, and pSZESBLEC201-3. pSZESBLEC201-1 (111,621 bp) belongs to the IncFIA-FIB type and harbors bla CTX-M-15. However, this plasmid does not harbor conjugative transfer-associated genes, rendering pSZESBLEC201-1 unable to be conjugatively transferred. pSZESBLEC201-2 (95,138 bp) is a phage-like plasmid that shows a strong genome synteny with Escherichia phage P1 but with the absence of mobile genetic elements and some regulatory genes. pSZESBLEC201-3 (92,865 bp) belongs to the IncI1 type and carries bla CTX-M-24. In contrast to pSZESBLEC201-1, pSZESBLEC201-3 retains its full active conjugation machinery and can be transferred via conjugation. The genetic features of the genome show that the SZESBLEC201 has a unique virulence pattern compared with genetically similar strains found in the same country (China). The plasmid backbones exhibit a high degree of similarity to those of geographically distant isolates, highlighting the global spread of bla CTX-M genes and the genome plasticity of this clonal group. The coexistence of two bla CTX-M variants in the same strain increases the risk of the emergence of new bla CTX-M variants. Further studies on phage-like plasmids are necessary to provide insights into their biological activities and clinical significance.

Project description:To study molecular epidemiology of CTX-M-55-carrying Escherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infections (UTIs) in China. 111 blaCTX-M-55-positive E.coli isolates from UTIs patients in China were studied. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were used to analyze the homologies among the strains. Conjugation experiments, S1nuclease PFGE and PCR analysis were performed to characterize plasmids harboring blaCTX-M-55 and their genetic environment. 111 isolates were clustered into 86 individual pulsotypes and three clusters by PFGE. Fifty-five (49.5%) of the isolates belonged to 8 STs. Most of the ST1193 isolates belonged to one PFGE cluster. Transconjugants (n = 45) derived from randomly selected blaCTX-M-55 donors (n = 58), were found to contain a single 90-kb conjugative plasmid, which mainly belonged to the IncI1 groups (34, 76%). Among the IncI1 plasmids, the blaCTX-M-55/IncI1/ST16 predominated (23/34, 68%). The blaTEM-1 and aac (3')-II genes were frequently detected on the IncI1 plasmids, and the insertion of ISEcp1 or IS26 was observed at the 48 bp or 45 bp upstream of the start codon of blaCTX-M-55 gene. The dissemination of blaCTX-M-55 gene among E. coli UTI isolates, appeared to be due to both the major clonal lineage of ST1193 and the horizontal transfer of epidemic plasmid IncI1/ST16.

Project description:We investigated the cephalosporin resistance of Escherichia coli from waterfowl among different breeding mode farms. In 2021, we isolated 200 strains of E. coli from waterfowl feces samples collected from Sichuan, Heilongjiang, and Anhui provinces. The key findings are: Out of the 200 strains, 80, 80, and 40 strains were isolated from waterfowl feces samples in intensive, courtyard, and outdoor breeding mode farms, respectively. The overall positive rate of the ESBL phenotype, detecting by the double disk diffusion method, was 68.00% (136/200). In particular, the rates for intensive, courtyard, and outdoor breeding modes were 98.75%, 36.25%, and 70.00%, respectively. Results of MIC test showed drug resistance rates in the intensive breeding mode: 100.00% for cephalothin, 38.75% for cefoxitin, 100.00% for cefotaxime, and 100.00% for cefepime. In courtyard breeding mode, the corresponding rates were 100.00%, 40.00%, 63.75%, and 45.00%, respectively. In outdoor breeding mode, the corresponding rates were 100.00%, 52.50%, 82.50%, and 77.50%, respectively. The PCR results for blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaOXA, and blaSHV showed the detection rate of blaCTX-M was highest at 75.50%, with blaCTX-M-55 is the main subtype gene, followed by blaTEM at 73.50%. We screened 58 donor strains carrying blaCTX-M-55, including 52 strains from the intensive breeding mode. These donor bacteria can transfer different plasmids to recipient E. coli J53, resulting in recipient bacteria acquiring cephalosporin resistance, and the conjugational transfer frequency ranged from 1.01 × 10-5 to 6.56 × 10-2. The transferred plasmids remained stable in recipient bacteria for up to several days without significant adaptation costs observed. During molecular typing of E. coli with conjugational transfer ability, the blaCTX-M-55 was found to be widely present in different ST strains with several phylogenetic groups. In summary, cephalosporin resistance of E. coli carried by waterfowl birds in intensive breeding mode farm was significantly higher than in courtyard and outdoor mode farms. The blaCTX-M-55 subtype gene was the prevalent ARGs and can be horizontally transferred through plasmids, which plays a key role in the spread of cephalosporin drug resistance.

Project description:In recent years, blaCTX-M-55-positive Escherichia coli has been widely reported in multiple locations with an increasing trend in prevalence, yet few studies have comprehensively analyzed the transmission characteristics and epidemiological patterns of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli. Here, we constructed a blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli global genomic data set as completely as possible and explored the epidemiology and potential impact of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli on a global scale by high-resolution bioinformatics methods. The results show that blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli has spread widely worldwide, especially in Asia, with the rich sequence typing (ST) diversity and high proportion of auxiliary genome occupancy indicating a high degree of openness. The phylogenetic tree suggests that blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli is frequently clonally transmitted between the three human-animal environments and often cotransmitted with fosA, mcr, blaNDM, and tet(X). The stable presence of InclI1 and InclI2 in different hosts from different sources suggests that this part of the plasmid drives the widespread transmission of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli. We inductively clustered all blaCTX-M-55 flanking environmental gene structures and obtained five types. Notably, "ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-55-orf477-(Tn2)" and "IS26(IS15DI)-hp-hp-blaCTX-M-55-orf477-hp-blaTEM-IS26-hp-IS26-Tn2" are dominant in "humans" and in "animals and related foods," respectively. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of whole-genome sequencing-based surveillance in exploring the transmission and evolution of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli in the context of "One Health," and they serve as a reminder to strengthen the surveillance of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli in order to address the potential risk of future large outbreaks. IMPORTANCE CTX-M-55 was first discovered in Thailand in 2004, and today, this enzyme is the most common CTX-M subtype in E. coli of animal origin in China. Thus, blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli getting widely spread is a growing public health problem. Although prevalence surveys of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli in different hosts have been widely reported in recent years, they remain insufficient in "One Health" context and from a global comprehensive perspective. Here, we constructed a genomic database of 2144 blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli and used bioinformatics methods to resolve the spread and evolution of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli. The results suggest a potential risk of rapid transmission of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli and that long-term continuous surveillance of blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli should be emphasized.

Project description:BackgroundExtended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a group of beta-lactamase enzymes that confer resistance to the oxyimino-cephalosporins and monobactams. The emergence of ESBL - producing genes possesses a serious threat for treating infections since it is associated with multi-drug resistance. This study was focused to identify the ESBLs producing genes from Escherichia coli isolates from clinical samples from a referral-level tertiary care hospital in Lalitpur.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted from September 2018 to April 2020 at the Microbiology Laboratory of Nepal Mediciti Hospital. Clinical samples were processed, and culture isolates were identified and characterized following standard microbiological techniques. An antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by a modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines.Extended -spectrum beta-lactamases were phenotypically confirmed by the combined disc method. The ESBL-producing genes blaTEM, blaCTX-M and blaSHV were confirmed by PCR.ResultsOf the 1449 total E. coli isolates, 22.29% (323/1449) isolates were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Among the total MDR E. coli isolates, 66.56% (215/323) were ESBL producers. The maximum number of ESBL E. coli was isolated from urine 90.23% (194) followed by sputum 5.58% (12), swab 2.32% (5), pus 0.93% (2), and blood 0.93% (2). The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of ESBL E. coli producers showed the highest sensitivity toward tigecycline (100%) followed by polymyxin b, colistin and meropenem. Out of 215 phenotypically confirmed ESBL E. coli, only 86.51% (186) isolates were found to be positive by PCR for either blaTEM or blaCTX-M genes. Among the ESBL genotypes, the most common were blaTEM 63.4% (118) followed by blaCTX-M 36.6% (68).ConclusionThe emergence of MDR and ESBL - producing E. coli isolates with high antibiotic - resistant rates to commonly used antibiotics and increased predominance of major gene types blaTEM is a serious concern to the clinicians and microbiologists. Periodic monitoring of antibiotic susceptibility and associated genes would help guide the rationale use of antibiotics for treating the predominant pathogen E. coli in the hospitals and healthcare facilities of the communities.

Project description:The P1-like phage plasmid (PP) has been widely used as a molecular biology tool, but its role as an active accessory cargo element is not fully understood. In this study, we provide insights into the structural features and gene content similarities of 77 P1-like PPs in the RefSeq database. We also describe a P1-like PP carrying a blaCTX-M-55 gene, JL22, which was isolated from a clinical strain of Escherichia coli from a duck farm. P1-like PPs were very similar and conserved based on gene content similarities, with only eight highly variable regions. Importantly, two kinds of replicon types, namely, IncY and p0111, were identified and can be used to specifically identify the P1-like phage. JL22 is similar to P1, acquiring an important foreign DNA fragment with two obvious features, namely, the plasmid replication gene repA' (p0111) replacing the gene repA (IncY) and a 4,200-bp fragment mobilized by IS1380 and IS5 and containing a blaCTX-M-55 gene and a trpB gene encoding tryptophan synthase (indole salvaging). The JL22 phage could be induced but had no lytic capacities. However, a lysogenic recipient and intact structure of JL22 virions were observed, showing that the extended-spectrum β-lactamase blaCTX-M-55 gene was successfully transferred. Overall, conserved genes can be a good complement to improve the identification efficiency and accuracy in future screening for P1-like PPs. Moreover, the highly conserved structures may be important for their prevalence and dissemination. IMPORTANCE As a PP, P1 DNA exists as a low-copy-number plasmid and replicates autonomously with a lysogenization style. This unique mode of P1-like elements probably indicates a stable contribution to antibiotic resistance. After analyzing these elements, we show that P1-like PPs are very similar and conserved, with only eight highly variable regions. Moreover, we observed the occurrence of replicon IncY and p0111 only in the P1-like PP community, implying that these conserved regions, coupled with IncY and p0111, can be an important complement in future screening of P1-like PPs. Identification and characterization of JL22 confirmed our findings that major changes were located in variable regions, including the first detection of blaCTX-M-55 in such a mobile genetic element. This suggests that these variable regions may facilitate foreign DNA mobilization. This study features a comprehensive genetic analysis of P1-like PPs, providing new insights into the dissemination mechanisms of antibiotic resistance through P1 PPs.

Project description:The emergence of third-generation cephalosporin resistance in Escherichia coli is increasing at an alarming rate in many countries. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze co-infecting bla CTX-M-producing pathogenic E. coli isolates linked to three school outbreaks. Among 66 E. coli isolates, 44 were identified as ETEC O25, an ETEC isolate serotype was O2, and the other 21 were confirmed as EAEC O44. Interestingly, six patients were co-infected with EAEC O44 and ETEC O25. For these isolates, molecular analysis [antibiotic susceptibility testing, identification of the β-lactamase gene, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)] was performed for further characterization. In addition, the transmission capacity of bla CTX-M genes was examined by conjugation experiments. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on representative EAEC O44 and ETEC O25 isolates associated with co-infection and single-infection. All isolates were resistant to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone. All EAEC isolates carried the bla CTX-M-14 gene and all ETEC isolates the bla CTX-M-15 gene, as detected by multiplex PCR and sequencing analysis. Sequence type and PFGE results indicated three different patterns depending on the O serotype. WGS results of representative isolates revealed that the ETEC O25 strains harbored bla CTX-M-15 located on IncK plasmids associated with the Δbla TEM-bla CTX-M-15-orf477 transposon. The representative EAEC O44 isolates carried bla CTX-M-14 on the chromosome, which was surrounded by the ISEcp1-bla CTX-M-14-IS903 transposon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of co-infection with chromosomally located bla CTX-M-14 and plasmid-encoding bla CTX-M-15 in pathogenic E. coli. Our findings indicate that resistance genes in clinical isolates can spread through concurrent combinations of chromosomes and plasmids.
