Fecal Carriage of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Swine and Cattle at Slaughter in Switzerland

Abstract: During the past decade, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have become a matter of great concern in human medicine. ESBL-producing strains are found in the community, not just in hospital-associated patients, which raises a question about possible reservoirs. Recent studies describe the occurrence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in meat, fish, and raw milk; therefore, the impact of food animals as reservoirs for and disseminators of such strains into the food production chai… Show more

“…There have been improvements in isolation of ESBL-resistant enterobacteria in food-producing animals worldwide (Geser et al, 2011). Zoonotic transmission of ESBL-producing enterobacteria has been reported (Ewers et al, 2012;Schmeidel et al, 2014).…”

“…Beta-lactam resistance genes present in the discharged enterobacteria could be acquired by horizontal transfer to pathogenic human bacteria, thereby complicating infections and compromising antibacterial therapy (GarciaGraells et al, 2010). Presence of ESBL-resistant enterobacteria in faecal samples of food-producing animals represents a risk for carcass contamination at slaughter and subsequent potential for contamination of retail meat products (Geser et al, 2011). This contamination risk is particularly important in developing countries, such as Nigeria, where inadequate hygienic practices are employed during meat processing.…”

“…Therefore, the 42.9% bla(SHV) detection rate in this study suggested that many dogs with diarrhoea in Iran may harbor extended-spectrum β-lactam (ESBL)-resistant E. coli. This finding is a cause for concern because extended-spectrum β-lactams are critical for treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals (Bradford 2001) and E. coli isolates habouring bla(SHV) have been reported to exhibit multidrug resistance (Branger et al 2005, Bush and Jacoby 2010, Geser et al 2011. Thus, the presence of bla(SHV) gene in the examined isolates in this study, pose serious threat to public health as well as that of the examined dogs since compromise in antibacterial therapy may result following zoonotic transmission of the organisms (Warren et al 2001).…”
