Characterization of integrons in Escherichia coli of the normal intestinal flora of swine

Multiresistant Escherichia coli isolates of the normal intestinal flora of healthy fattening pigs were examined for the presence of integron class 1 by XL (extra long) PCR. The class 1 integron was detected in 17 isolates originating from 14 healthy animals on seven different farms. One isolate contained two class 1 integrons. The inserted gene cassettes were characterized by DNA sequencing and PCR. The ant(3")-Ia gene responsible for resistance to streptomycin/spectinomycin was inserted in all integrons detected. Fifteen isolates contained this gene cassette as the only inserted cassette. Three isolates contained integrons with two gene cassettes. Two isolates contained integrons with the trimethoprim resistance gene dfr1 and one isolate contained the oxa1 beta-lactamase gene upstream to the ant(3")-Ia gene. Detection of these three different resistance gene cassettes in bacteria from swine shows that cassettes occurring in integrons in human clinical isolates also appear in bacteria of the normal intestinal flora of healthy swine. Two integron-harboring strains were obtained from each of three different animals. These strains were probably not clonal derivatives of each other, suggesting the existence of different multiresistance clones within the intestinal normal flora of one specific animal. The oxa1 nucleotide sequence found in E. coli from swine differ by seven nucleotides from the oxa1 nucleotide sequence of the gene from the R-plasmid RGN238. The fact that these two sequences are not identical might indicate that the two genes have evolved separately in different surroundings from the common ancestor. Transmissible plasmids of approximately 200 kb containing integron class I were detected in eight of the isolates when conjugation experiments were performed with E. coli DH5 as recipient strain. The transfer frequency ranged from 4x10(-4) to 6x10(-2) transconjugants per recipient cell. This study shows that the enteric commensals of domestic animals may be considered as a reservoir of integron-containing transmissible plasmids and gene cassettes that might be transferable to the pathogens of swine and to important zoonotic bacteria associated with the enteric flora of swine such as Salmonella typhimurium DT104.

Molecular epidemiology of the integron-located VEB-1 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in nosocomial enterobacterial isolates in Bangkok, Thailand

Over a 21/2-month period in 1999, 37 ceftazidime-resistant nonrepetitive enterobacterial isolates were collected from 37 patients in a Bangkok hospital, Thailand. Eighty-one percent of these strains expressed a clavulanic acid-inhibited extended-cephalosporin resistance profile. An identical extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), VEB-1, was found in 16 unrelated enterobacterial isolates (Escherichia coli, n = 10; Enterobacter cloacae, n = 2; Enterobacter sakazakii, n = 1; and Klebsiella pneumoniae, n = 3) and in two clonally related E. cloacae isolates. The bla(VEB-1) gene was located on mostly self-conjugative plasmids (ca. 24 to 200 kb) that conferred additional non-beta-lactam antibiotic resistance patterns. Additionally, the bla(VEB-1) gene cassette was part of class 1 integrons varying in size and structure. The bla(VEB-1)-containing integrons were mostly associated with bla(OXA-10)-like and arr-2-like gene cassettes, the latter conferring resistance to rifampin. These data indicated the spread of bla(VEB-1) in Bangkok due to frequent transfer of different plasmids and class 1 integrons and rarely to clonally related strains. Plasmid- and integron-mediated resistance to rifampin was also found in enterobacterial isolates.     

Identification of extended-spectrum, AmpC, and carbapenem- hydrolyzing beta-lactamases in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae by disk tests

Antibiotic disks with and without clavulanic acid, 3-aminophenylboronic acid, or EDTA were tested with a set of 55 Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli strains producing well-characterized extended-spectrum, AmpC, or carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases. A relatively simple scheme was devised for distinguishing beta-lactamase types in clinical isolates with or without intact outer membrane porins.     

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Australia

The aim of this study was to search for plasmid-encoded quinolone resistance determinants QnrA and QnrS in fluoroquinolone-resistant and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacterial isolates recovered in Sydney, Australia, in 2002. Twenty-three fluoroquinolone-resistant, of which 16 were also ESBL-positive, enterobacterial and nonrelated isolates were studied. PCR with primers specific for qnrA and qnrS genes and primers specific for a series of ESBL genes were used. A qnrA gene was identified in two ESBL-positive isolates, whereas no qnrS-positive strain was found. The QnrA1 determinant was identified in an Enterobacter cloacae isolate and in a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate, both of which expressed the same ESBL SHV- 12. Whereas no plasmid was identified in the E. cloacae isolate, K. pneumoniae K149 possessed two conjugative plasmids, one that harbored the qnrA and bla (SHV)-12 genes whereas the other expressed the carbapenemase gene bla (IMP-4). The qnrA gene, was located in both cases downstream of the orf513 recombinase gene and upstream of the qnrA1 gene, a structure identical to that found in sul1-type integron In36 and qnrA-positive strains from Shanghai, China. However, the gene cassettes of the sul1-type integrons were different. This study identified the first plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinant in Enterobacteriaceae in Australia.     

Molecular epidemiology of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains that produce SHV-4 beta-lactamase and which were isolated in 14 French hospitals.

Preliminary results suggested that the diffusion in France of the SHV-4 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase was probably due to the spread of one single epidemic strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae. In this study, we tested various phenotypic and genotypic markers to compare K. pneumoniae strains producing this enzyme isolated in 14 French hospitals between 1987 and 1989. All of the strains were of the same capsule serotype, K25. Twelve of them were of the same biotype: weak urease activity and no sucrose fermentation. Among the six plasmid profiles observed, one accounted for eight strains. Large plasmids of 170 kb encoding SHV-4 beta-lactamase were present in all strains of K. pneumoniae and could be transferred by conjugation with high frequency to Escherichia coli J53-2 or HB101 from all except one strain. Plasmid EcoRI restriction patterns suggested that these plasmids were closely related and similar to pUD18 encoding SHV-3 beta-lactamase, originally described in France and differing from SHV-4 by one amino acid substitution. Ribotyping with EcoRI and HindIII and genomic fingerprinting with XbaI by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were concordant and suggested that 12 of the isolates recovered from the 14 hospitals were probably the same strain. Dissemination in France of the SHV-4 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase was thus essentially due to the diffusion of a single K. pneumoniae clone.     

Relationship between adhesion to intestinal Caco-2 cells and multidrug resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic gram-negative pathogen involved in outbreaks of nosocomial infections in intensive care units. Strains are resistant to multiple antibiotics, and 15 to 30% of them are also resistant to the broad-spectrum cephalosporins by the production of R plasmid-encoded extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. Because the gastrointestinal tracts of patients have been shown to be the reservoir for nosocomial strains of K. pneumoniae, we looked for a correlation between antibiotic resistance and adhesion of K. pneumoniae strains to intestinal cells. We investigated adhesion to the human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell line of 61 clinical K. pneumoniae strains isolated in hospitals in Clermont-Ferrand, France. None of the strains tested expressed the previously described adhesive factors CF29K and KPF-28. Adhesive properties were found for 42.6% of the strains tested (26 strains). Just 7.7% (2 strains) of the 26 strains producing only the chromosomally encoded SHV-1 beta-lactamase adhered to the Caco-2 cell line, whereas 68.5% (24 strains) of the 35 strains producing a plasmid-encoded beta-lactamase were adherent. All the adherent strains, and even the two strains producing only the SHV-1 enzyme, harbored at least one self-transmissible R plasmid. At variance for CAZ-1/TEM-5 or CAZ-5/SHV-4 beta-lactamase-producing K. pneumoniae strains, curing and mating experiments demonstrated that the self-transmissible R plasmids encoding the TEM-1, CTX-1/TEM-3, CAZ-2/TEM-8, CAZ-6/TEM-24, or CAZ-7/TEM-16 beta-lactamase were not involved in the adhesion of K. pneumoniae strains to intestinal epithelial cells. Nevertheless, there was an association of multiple antibiotic resistance, including resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, and adhesive properties in K. pneumoniae clinical isolates.     

Prevalence and characterization of multidrug-resistant and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli from pediatric wards of a Malaysian hospital

The emergence of Escherichia coli resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) is of concern as ESC is often used to treat infections by Gram-negative bacteria. One-hundred and ten E. coli strains isolated in 2009-2010 from children warded in a Malaysian tertiary hospital were analyzed for their antibiograms, carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC genes, possible inclusion of the beta-lactamase genes on an integron platform, and their genetic relatedness. All E. coli strains were sensitive to carbapenems. About 46% of strains were multidrug resistant (MDR; i.e., resistant to ≥3 antibiotic classes) and almost half (45%) were nonsusceptible to ESCs. Among the MDR strains, high resistance rates were observed for ampicillin (98%), tetracycline (75%), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (73%). Out of 110 strains, bla(TEM-1) (49.1%), bla(CTX-M) (11.8%), and bla(CMY-2) (6.4%) were detected. Twenty-one strains were ESBL producers. CTX-M-15 was the predominant CTX-M variant found and this is the first report of a CTX-M-27-producing E. coli strain from Malaysia. Majority (3.1%) of the strains harbored class 1 integron-encoded integrases with a predominance of aadA and dfr genes within the integron variable region. No gene cassette encoding ESBL genes was found and integrons were not significantly associated with ESBL or non-ESBL producers. Possible clonal expansion was observed for few CTX-M-15-positive strains but the O25-ST131 E. coli clone known to harbor CTX-M-15 was not detected while CMY-2-positive strains were genetically diverse.
