Characterization of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Escherichia coli Isolates from Pigs and Farm Workers

Abstract: Food-producing animals can serve as reservoirs for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli . The present study aimed to characterize and compare ESBL-carrying E. coli isolates from both pigs and farm workers. Rectal swabs were obtained from 60 pigs on four pig-fattening farms (15 samples per farm), and rectal swabs were taken from 40 farm workers on these farms (10 samples per farm). ESBL-carrying E. coli isolates from the workers and pigs were characterized by ESBL genotype, antibiotic… Show more

“…This prevalence is much higher than in other European countries such as the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, in which the carriage rates of farm workers have been similar to the general population (2.5 to 13%) [36][37][38][39]. Rates similar to ours have been reported in China (20%) where colonization with ESBL-Enterobacteriaceae in healthy non-animal exposed humans was also very high, reaching up to 70% and carriage rate in pigs is reported above 60% [4,40]. In contrast to farmers, the phenotypic resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins isolated from pigs in Estonia has been reported as low, i.e., 2.5% and 3.3% in healthy and 4.2% and 7.7% in diseased animals, for cefotaxime and ceftazidime, respectively [41].…”

“…bla CTX-M-14 is also frequently detected in farm animals, including pigs, and in pets in China. Although bla CTX-M-65 does occur in both humans and pets, it appears to be more common in pigs and broiler chickens (17)(18)(19)(20). The other bla CTX-M genes identified in this study (Table 1) are also frequently detected in humans and animals, especially bla CTX-M-55 among clinical isolates.…”

“…Of note, ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were resistant to ampicillin and cefotaxime. The resistance to these antibiotics may be largely linked with the frequently use of ampicillin and cefotaxime in local human and animal clinical practices [43]. Our study provides evidence that poultry farms and retail chicken should be reflected as an important reservoir of ESBL-producing E. coli.…”
