“…ST10 is an extremely diverse and broadhost-range lineage causing extraintestinal infections in hospitalised and communitydwelling humans in The Netherlands and Canada [24][25][26], and is also detected in poultry, wild birds and pigs as well as retail chicken and pork meat [24][25][26][27]. ST1 has also been reported to be both a pig and a human pathogen in Germany (http://mlst.warwick.ac.uk/mlst/dbs/Ecoli).…”

ampicillin (9.4-71.1%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (11.1-67.5%) and streptomycin (21.9-69.3%), whereas none were resistant to imipenem or amikacin.Resistance was detected, albeit at low frequency, to ESCs (bovine isolates, 1%; porcine isolates, 3%) and FQs (porcine isolates, 1%). Most ESC-and FQ-resistant isolates represented globally disseminated E. coli lineages (ST117, ST744, ST10 and ST1). Only a single porcine E. coli isolate (ST100) was identified as a classic porcine enterotoxigenic E. coli strain (non-zoonotic animal pathogen) that exhibited ESC resistance via acquisition of bla CMY-2 . This study uniquely establishes the presence of resistance to CIAs among clinical E. coli isolates from Australian foodproducing animals, largely attributed to globally disseminated FQ-and ESC-resistant E. coli lineages.

“…This was consistent with the results from the ERIC-PCR. D-ST117 is reported to be a lineage usually associated with avian infection and clinical disease (Bergeron et al, 2012), and the presence of rmtB-bearing E. coli ST117 will accelerate its dissemination.…”

Characterization of an rmtB-carrying IncI1 ST136 plasmid in avian Escherichia coli isolates from chickens

The rmtB gene, one of the 16S rRNA methylase genes whose products confer high-level resistance to aminoglycosides, is most prevalent among Enterobacteriaceae strains. In this study, eight non-duplicate rmtB-carrying avian Escherichia coli strains from a farm in China were isolated and characterized, and further examined by phylogenetic grouping, conjugation experiments and PCR-based replicon typing. In addition, the genetic environment of rmtB was investigated by cloning and sequencing. Six rmtB-carrying E. coli were identified as phylogroup A, sequence type (ST) 156 (A-ST156), with two assigned to D-ST117; however, all of them carried the same IncI1 ST136 plasmid. The genetic environment of the rmtB gene in these eight plasmids was the same, as shown by PCR mapping. A multidrug-resistant region carrying bla TEM-1 , rmtB, a class 1 integron cassette array (intI1-dfrA12-orfF-aadA2-qacED1-sul1) and aacC2 was characterized on the conjugative IncI1 ST136 plasmid. Co-location of the rmtB gene with a class 1 integron cassette array and aacC2 on the conjugative plasmid will facilitate its maintenance and dissemination.

“…Definitive evidence for the role of food in human ExPEC infection is tentative, but there is increasing evidence that chicken may be a reservoir for ExPEC in humans as a result of studies on molecular characteristics of human and chicken clonal groups of ExPEC (Johnson et al, 2008;Bergeron et al, 2012;Mora et al, 2013). A recent review has summarised the evidence that food-borne organisms are a significant cause of ExPEC infections in humans (Manges and Johnson, 2012).…”

EFSA established an Emerging Risks Exchange Network (EREN) to exchange information between EFSA and the MSs on possible emerging risks for food and feed safety in 2010. The Network is currently composed of delegates from 21 Member States and an EFTA country (Norway) designated through the Advisory Forum of EFSA and observers from the European Commission, EU pre-accession countries, the Food and Drug Administration of the USA (FDA) and the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). The Network met three times during 2013. The Network discussed a total of 16 signals of potential emerging issues that were presented and assessed using a standard template developed by the Scientific Committee and Emerging Risks unit of EFSA. Out of these signals, 10 originated from EFSA and six from Member States. The issues discussed were from the areas of microbiological hazards, biotoxins, chemical hazards, illegal activity, new consumer consumption trends, new technologies and processes, animal health, environmental pollution, new analytical methods and new food packaging technology. The issues that merit further consideration will be discussed by EFSA's Scientific Committee Standing Working Group on Emerging Risks.
