“…Acinetobacter baumannii, A. pittii, A. calcoaceticus and other Acinetobacter spp. have been isolated from variety of poultry sources including fresh or processed chicken meat, meat processing environment (Booth & Arnold, 2003;Carvalheira, Casquete, Silva, & Teixeira, 2017;Hinton, Cason, & Ingram, 2004;Lupo, Vogt, Seifert, Endimiani, & Perreten, 2014;Nychas, Skandamis, Tassou, & Koutsoumanis, 2008;Pennacchia, Ercolini, & Villani, 2011;Püntener-Simmen, Zurfluh, Schmitt, Stephan, & Nüesch-Inderbinen, 2019;Rafei et al, 2015) and laying hens (Kempf et al, 2012;Püntener-Simmen et al, 2019;Rafei et al, 2015;Wilharm et al, 2017).…”

Increase in the number of small‐scale backyard poultry flocks in the USA has substantially increased human‐to‐live poultry contact, leading to increased public health risks of the transmission of multi‐drug resistant (MDR) zoonotic and food‐borne bacteria. The objective of this study was to detect the occurrence of Salmonella and MDR Gram‐negative bacteria (GNB) in the backyard poultry flock environment. A total of 34 backyard poultry flocks in Washington State (WA) were sampled. From each flock, one composite coop sample and three drag swabs from nest floor, waterer‐feeder, and a random site with visible faecal smearing, respectively, were collected. The samples were processed for isolation of Salmonella and other fermenting and non‐fermenting GNB under ceftiofur selection. Each isolate was identified to species level using MALDI‐TOFF and tested for resistance against 16 antibiotics belonging to eight antibiotic classes. Salmonella serovar 1,4,[5],12:i:‐ was isolated from one (3%) out of 34 flocks. Additionally, a total of 133 ceftiofur resistant (CefR) GNB including Escherichia coli (53), Acinetobacter spp. (45), Pseudomonas spp. (22), Achromobacter spp. (8), Bordetella trematum (1), Hafnia alvei (1), Ochrobactrum intermedium (1), Raoultella ornithinolytica (1), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (1) were isolated. Of these, 110 (82%) isolates displayed MDR. Each flock was found positive for the presence of one or more CefR GNB. Several MDR E. coli (n = 15) were identified as extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (ESBL) positive. Carbapenem resistance was detected in non‐fermenting GNB including Acinetobacter spp. (n = 20), Pseudomonas spp. (n = 11) and Stenotrophomonas maltophila (n = 1). ESBL positive E. coli and carbapenem resistant non‐fermenting GNB are widespread in the backyard poultry flock environment in WA State. These GNB are known to cause opportunistic infections, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Better understanding of the ecology and epidemiology of these GNB in the backyard poultry flock settings is needed to identify potential risks of transmission to people in proximity.

“…Interestingly, recent reports have also underlined the presence of colistin and polymyxin B resistant A. baumannii and other Acinetobacter spp. isolates in meat (chicken, turkey, beef and pork) [169,170]. Resistance to polymyxins in A. baumannii is mediated by mutations in the genes pmrA and/or pmrB [168].…”

Bacteria from Animals as a Pool of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes

Antimicrobial agents are used in both veterinary and human medicine. The intensive use of antimicrobials in animals may promote the fixation of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria, which may be zoonotic or capable to transfer these genes to human-adapted pathogens or to human gut microbiota via direct contact, food or the environment. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the use of antimicrobial agents in animal health and explores the role of bacteria from animals as a pool of antimicrobial resistance genes for human bacteria. This review focused in relevant examples within the ESC(K)APE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile (Klebsiella pneumoniae), Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae) group of bacterial pathogens that are the leading cause of nosocomial infections throughout the world.

“…Rare studies have been conducted in the prevalence of A. baumannii isolates in raw meat samples. Carvalheira, Casquete, Silva, and Teixeira () reported that the prevalence of A. baumannii isolates in chicken, turkey, beef and pork raw meat samples collected from Portugal were 42.85%, 42.85%, 0% and 14.28% respectively. Recent researches reported the prevalence rates of 75% in pork and beef samples collected from Hong Kong (Houang et al, ) and 28% in bovine meat samples collected from Lebanon (Rafei et al, ).…”

Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are not only known as opportunistic nosocomial bacteria but may also be regarded as emerging bacterial contaminants in foods of animal origins. The present investigation was done to assess the prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of A. baumannii isolated from different types of raw meat samples. One hundred and ninety‐four raw meat samples were collected and cultured for A. baumannii isolates. Culture‐positive bacteria were also approved using the loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique. The disc diffusion method was used for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Out of 194 raw meat samples, 39 (20.10%) were positive for A. baumannii isolates. Ovine raw meat was the most commonly contaminated samples (32.14%). All of the culture‐positive A. baumannii isolates were also approved using the LAMP assay. A. baumannii isolates harboured the highest prevalence of resistance against gentamicin (87.17%), tetracycline (79.48%), erythromycin (74.35%), azithromycin (66.66%), ciprofloxacin (58.97%), trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (56.41%) and rifampin (51.28%). The lowest prevalence of resistance was found against imipenem (17.94%) and chloramphenicol (28.20%). Raw bovine, ovine, caprine, camel and poultry meat samples were considered as the important sources of isolates resistant to some of the categories of antimicrobials used to treat infections caused by A. baumannii. Further studies are required to find the exact role of resistant A. baumannii isolates in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance to human population.
