High prevalence of blaCTX-M extended-spectrum β-lactamase genes in Escherichia coli isolates from pets and emergence of CTX-M-64 in China

Abstract: As a cause of community-acquired infections, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli constitute an emerging public-health concern. Few data on the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates from pets are available in China. Detection and characterization of ESBL genes (bla(CTX-M), bla(SHV) and bla(TEM)) was conducted among 240 E. coli isolates recovered from healthy and sick pets in South China from 2007 to 2008. The clonal relatedness of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates w… Show more

“…bla CTX-M+TEM was the dominant bla gene type, which is consistent with the results of other studies detecting these genes in ESBL producers from companion animals in China and other counties [11,16,31]. CTX-M-15-producing E. coli of ST131 was not found in the present study, which is regarded as an emerging human pandemic clone [32].…”

“…The recipient strain was sensitive to cefazolin, cephalexin, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime and was not carrying bla CTX-M-1 and/or bla TEM genes in its plasmid as confirmed by PCR analysis. In vitro mating experiments were performed by broth mating [19], filter paper mating [20] and plate mating [21]. Transconjugants were selected on Mac Conkey's agar containing ceftriaxone (50 lg/ml) and nalidixic acid (100 lg/ml).…”

“…CTX-M-55 first isolated from E. coli in Thailand [33] developed from one point mutation of CTX-M-15, leading to replacement of amino acid 80.In recent years, CTX-M-55 in E. coli was separated from food animals and pets in China [33][34][35][36][37], but was very rare in clinical isolates. Yu et al [10] first detected it in S. Typhimurium from the stool of a child in 2011.…”
