Extended-spectrum and AmpC β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in broilers and people living and/or working on broiler farms: prevalence, risk factors and molecular characteristics

Abstract: The prevalence among people on broiler farms was higher than in previous studies involving patients and the general population. Furthermore, an increased risk of carriage was shown among individuals having a high degree of contact with live broilers. The (relative) contribution of transmission routes that might play a role in the dissemination of ESBL/AmpC-encoding resistance genes to humans on broiler farms should be pursued in future studies.

“…People who worked or lived on a farm were excluded from this study. However, it is already known that broiler and pig farmers and their family members have a higher prevalence of ESBL/pAmpC carriage, and contact with animals was identified as risk factor in two studies [4,6,12]. Prevalence was 27%e33% for broiler farmers [4,6] and 13% for persons living or working on ESBL/pAmpCpositive pig farms [12].…”

“…In contrast to the other types of animals studied, mink are carnivores; they eat raw residual products from the poultry and fish industry at least once a day [27]. Given the fact that ESBL/pAmpC-E have been frequently found in poultry [2,4,6,17], it is likely that mink carry ESBL/pAmpC-E. It is still unclear if, and how, the presence of mink leads to an increased risk for carriage in the community.…”

“…ESBLs mediated by plasmids are common in Enterobacteriaceae, particularly in E. coli and K. pneumoniae, which have been reported to cause serious infections in hospitals, as well as in the community in different parts of the world (19,20). A previous study indicated that the present disk diffusion criteria underestimate the prevalence of ESBL-producing strains (21).…”
