养殖动物分离的大肠埃希菌质粒介导喹诺酮耐药机制的研究

目的 调查养殖业动物大肠埃希菌对喹诺酮类抗生素的耐药情况,阐明耐药机制,为控制畜牧养殖业滥用抗生素提供依据.方法 从7省市9家养殖场采集鸡和猪的肛门拭子样本,分离并鉴定其中的大肠埃希菌,PCR扩增筛选其中的质粒上的喹诺酮耐药基因qnrA、qnrB、qnrS、qnrC、qnrD和aac(6')-I 6-cr,并进行测序和药敏试验,通过接合试验以确定耐药基因的可转移性以及在喹诺酮耐药中的作用.结果 在818株大肠埃希菌中检出38株qnr阳性菌株和75株aac阳性菌株,其中gyrA突变的有15株,parC突变的有13株.结论 养殖业动物分离大肠埃希菌对喹诺酮的耐药性较为普遍,质粒介导的喹诺酮耐药作为一个重要的机制参与其中,提示应加强食源性细菌耐药性的监测.

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Escherichia coli strains isolated from food animals

Objective To study on plasmid-mediated quinolone-resistant in Escherichia coli strains isolated from fecal samples of chicken and swine from the nine farms around our country.Methods Antimi-crobial susceptibility testing was carried out by broth microdilution testing,gyrA,gyrB,parC,qnr and aac (6')- Ⅰ b-cr were examined by PCR,and the products were sequenced.Conjugation experiment was carried out to proved that the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance was transferable.Results In the total 818 animal isolates,qnr and aac genes were detected in 38 (4.6%) and 75 (9.2%) strains.The qnrA,qnrB,and qnrS genes were detected in 1 (0.1%),9 (1.1%) and 28 (3.4%) of the isolates.All isolates were negative for qnrC,qnrD genes.Conclusion There is a close relationship between high level quinolone resistance and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance.The results of the current study highlight food-producing animals as a potential reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and clinically important resistance genes.More attention should be paid to the surveillance of such strains.
