Antibiotic Administration Routes and Oral Exposure to Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria as Key Drivers for Gut Microbiota Disruption and Resistome in Poultry

“…AR bacteria are abundant across the poultry production chain worldwide, regardless of direct exposure status to antibiotics ( Baron et al, 2018 ; Daehre et al, 2018b ; Apostolakos et al, 2019 ). Moreover, birds and mammals have distinctive anatomy and physiology, and zoonotic pathogens have the ability to directly impact human health, including those originating in poultry ( Knudsen et al, 2018 ; Borges et al, 2019 ). Therefore, this study examined the impact of antibiotic administration routes and oral exposure to AR bacteria in a poultry production environment free of growth-promotional uses of antibiotics.…”

International clones of extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (CTX‐M)‐producingEscherichia coliin peri‐urban wild animals, Brazil

“…Interestingly, ST58/CC155 frequently shares identical antimicrobial resistance patterns in both animal and human populations. Such evidence may significantly explain the successful establishment of this international lineage (Borges et al, 2019).…”

“…coli ST1251, fluoroquinolone-resistant strains have been reported in animal faeces and wastewater (Jamborova et al, 2015;Varela, Macedo, Nunes, & Manaia, 2015), as well as mcr-1-harbouring strains from food animals (Zurfluh et al, 2017). Escherichia coli belonging to ST58 has been globally reported from a variety of sources including food (Ben Said et al, 2015), polluted mangrove (Sacramento et al, 2018), poultry, hospital-and community-acquired infections (Borges et al, 2019;McKinnon, Chowdhury, & Djordjevic, 2018) and bovine mastitis (Nüesch-Inderbinen et al, 2019). Interestingly, ST58/CC155 frequently shares identical antimicrobial resistance patterns in both animal and human populations.…”

“…Nowadays, most ESBL-producing Escherichia coli circulating at the human-animal-environment interface belong to international sequence types (STs) such as ST10, ST38, ST58, ST131, ST212, ST648, ST744, ST1158 and ST1251 (Borges, Tarlton, & Riley, 2019;Cao et al, 2014;Castellanos et al, 2017;Haenni et al, 2018;Nüesch-Inderbinen et al, 2019;Pitout, 2012;Tacão et al, 2017;Tafoukt, Touati, Leangapichart, Bakour, & Rolain, 2017;Vignoli et al, 2016;Zurfluh et al, 2017), suggesting a broad host adaptation of these pathogens. In this study, we report the occurrence of pandemic clones of CTX-M-producing E. coli recovered from a diversity of peri-urban wild animals in Brazil, highlighting the transmission of this sort of bacteria in anthropogenic-shared environments.…”

Whole-genome sequence analysis of environmental Escherichia coli from the faeces of straw-necked ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis) nesting on inland wetlands

“…ST58), which predominate in commensal faecal populations in intensive food animal production [4,5] and have been observed in a diverse range of hosts [6]. ST58 is a good example, as studies have demonstrated its wide geographical distribution, as well as an affinity for human [7,8] and animal [9] hosts, plus environmental reports [10]. ST58 has also been associated with episodes of multiple-drugresistant human extraintestinal infections in Australia [8] and elsewhere [11,12].…”
