Prevalence and Molecular Characterization of Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Diarrheic Cattle in Korea

Abstract: ABSTRACT. A total of 176 E. coli isolates were retrieved from 203 diarrheic fecal samples collected from Korean cattle on 117 different farms. The most frequently observed resistance in E. coli isolates was to tetracycline (88.6%), followed by streptomycin (80.7%) and ampicillin (64.8%). Resistance to cefazolin, cefoperazone, cefepime and amikacin was very low. Of the 176 E. coli strains, forty (22.7%) isolates from 30 farms showed resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQ). All the FQ-resistant strains possessed dou… Show more

“…Transport of pigs between these sites would result in a more widespread spreading of clones [28]. Likewise, in line with previous studies, E. coli may be transmitted from farm to farm by vehicles such as transport trucks and visitors on farms (truck drivers, veterinarians, producers, technicians) or by farm workers [29,30].…”

“…In this study, we found the same MLVA types on several farms, strongly indicating the clonal dissemination of QREC between farms. This is in line with the results of Lim et al (27) and Marchese et al (4). Farms located within a shorter distance from each other were also more likely to be contaminated with the same clone of QREC than farms located far apart.…”

“…Farms located within a shorter distance from each other were also more likely to be contaminated with the same clone of QREC than farms located far apart. Although the distances between farms in our study were much longer than those in the study of Lim et al (27), a similar pattern emerged. This was a rather rough and primitive method of investigating a genetic-geographic relationship, and more advanced analyses could yield more confident results.…”

“…livestock farms). Many previous studies on E. coli phylotype analyses have so far shown that the cross-contamination of phylotypes over a wide area frequently occurs as a result of animal transport (29, 42). The results of our study indicated that each phylotype was generally well conserved in each district.…”
