Prevalence of β-Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli from Retail Meat in Turkey.
Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase (pAmpC) producing Escherichia coli have been shown to be present in humans and animals representing a significant problem worldwide. This study aimed to search the presence of ESBL and/or AmpC-producing E. coli in retail meats (chicken and beef) in Turkey. A total of 88 β-lactamase-producing E. coli were isolated from chicken (n = 81/100) and beef meat (n = 7/100) samples and their susceptibility to several antimicrobials were tested using disc diffusion method. E. coli isolates were further characterized for their phylogenetic groups. β-Lactamase encoding (blaTEM , blaSHV , blaOXA , blaCTX-M , and blaAmpC ) and quinolone resistance genes (qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, qepA, and acc(6')-Ib-cr) were also secreened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, in regard to β-lactamase genes, 84 of 88 isolates were positive for blaCTX-M-1 (n = 39), blaCTX-M-3 (n = 5), blaCTX-M-15 (n = 4), blaTEM-1b (n = 2), blaSHV-12 (n = 1), blaCTX-M-1 /blaTEM-1b (n = 10), blaCTX-M-1 /blaTEM-1b /blaSHV-5 (n = 1), blaCTX-M-1 /blaCMY-2 (n = 1) and blaTEM-1b /blaCMY-2 (n = 6), blaCTX-M-15 /blaSHV-12 (n = 1), blaCTX-M-15 /blaTEM-1b (n = 1), blaTEM-1b /blaSHV-12 (n = 1), and blaCMY-2 (n = 12) genes. Resistance to cefuroxime (75.6% and 85.7%), nalidixic acid (89% and 85.7%), tetracycline (91.4% and 100%), streptomycin (40.2% and 100%), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (36.6% and 85.7%) was observed among strains isolated from chicken and beef, respectively. However, all isolates were found to be susceptible to amikacin, imipenem, and cefepime. Resistance to ampicillin and cefoxitin was significantly linked to blaCMY-2 gene, while there was a significant correlation between CTX-M type ESBL and antimicrobial resistance to cefuroxime and streptomycin (P < 0.05). The results of this study suggest that raw chicken retail meats are highly contaminated with ESBL-producing E. coli implementing a great risk to human health in Turkey.

High prevalence of mcr-1 encoding colistin resistance and first identification of bla(CTX-M-55) in ESBL/CMY-2-producing Escherichia coli isolated from chicken faeces and retail meat in Tunisia.
Avian industries have been reported as an important contributor in the worldwide spread of antibiotic resistance owing to some particular practices especially the overuse of antibiotics. Thus in this study, we aimed to characterize extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL) and acquired-AmpC-beta-lactamase (aAmpC)-producing Escherichia coli isolates from chicken faeces and raw meat in Tunisia. During the year 2018, 286 faecal chicken swabs and 47 raw chicken meat samples were collected and processed to recover cefotaxime-resistant E. coli. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by disk-diffusion and/or broth-microdilution. blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M, and blaCMY genes were investigated by PCR/sequencing. Genes encoding resistance to colistin (mcr-1 to mcr-8), tetracycline (tetA/tetB), sulfonamide (sul1/sul3), and chloramphenicol (cmlA), were analysed by PCR. Class 1 integrons were investigated by PCR/sequencing. Phylogenetic groups of all isolates were determined. PFGE and MLST were performed for representative isolates. PCR-based replicon typing was performed in mcr1-harbouring isolates. Cefotaxime-resistant E. coli was detected in 22.4% (64/286) and 63.8% (30/47) of faeces and meat samples, respectively. Ninety isolates were ESBL-producers and harboured the genes: blaCTX-M-1 +/- blaTEM-1 (n = 65), blaCTX-M-55 +/- blaTEM-1 (n = 21), blaCTX-M-14 (n = 1), and blaSHV-12 (n = 3). The blaCMY-2 gene was detected in four ESBL-negative isolates. Isolates belonged to phylogroups D (50%), A (36.2%), B1 (9.6%), and B2 (4.3%). Fifty-four were colistin-resistant and 52 carried the mcr-1 gene. The tetA, sul1/sul3 and cmlA genes were detected among resistant isolates and 76 harboured class 1 integrons. MLST analysis revealed 13 sequence types (STs). The isolates were classified into 28 PFGE types. The IncP, IncFIB, and IncI1 replicons were detected among mcr-1-positive strains. We report a high frequency of ESBL-producers and colistin-resistant E. coli in chicken and derived food and the detection for the first time of blaCTX-M-55 in poultry in Tunisia.

Abundance of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli harbouring mcr-1 and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli co-harbouring bla(CTX-M-55) or (-65) with bla(TEM) isolates from chicken meat in Vietnam.
Although the spread of plasmid-mediated antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health concern, food contamination with plasmid-mediated antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in Vietnam has not been well investigated. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of colistin-resistant, carbapenem-resistant, and endemic blaCTX-M in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli isolates. Colistin and carbapenem-resistant ESBL-producing E. coli were isolated from chickens in Vietnam and Japan. Colistin-resistant and AmpC/ESBL-producing E. coli (52% and 93%, respectively) were detected in chickens from Vietnam, in comparison to 52.7%, AmpC/ESBL-producing E. coli found in chicken from Japan. Carbapenem-resistant E. coli has not been isolated in Vietnam and Japan. Genotyping revealed that colistin-resistant E. coli harboured mcr-1, and most of the AmpC/ESBL-related genes were blaCTX-M-55 and blaCTX-M-65 together with blaTEM in Vietnamese chickens and blaCMY-2 in Japanese chickens. Multi-drug resistance analysis showed that ESBL-producing E. coli isolates had greater resistance to quinolones, streptomycin, and chloramphenicol than colistin-resistant E. coli isolates from Vietnam, suggesting the selection of multiple antibiotic resistance genes in ESBL-producing E. coli. In conclusion, colistin-resistant E. coli was detected in approximately half of the chicken samples, the majority of which harboured mcr-1. The high prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli has remained constant in the last 5 years. The predominant blaCTX-M in ESBL-producing E. coli was blaCTX-M-55 or blaCTX-M-65, with the coexistence of blaTEM in Vietnam. These results can be implemented in monitoring systems to overcome the development of antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Genes in E. coli Isolated from Equine Fecal Samples in Turkey.
The extensive use of antibacterial agents used for treatment in human and veterinary clinics to increase yield in livestock and aquaculture in developing countries causes the detection and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains in different sources. The presence of Escherichia coli strains is very common in racehorses and it's a serious problem on horse farms. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production is an important source of MDR development in Gram-negative strains such as E.coli. This study aimed to detect the presence of ESBL genes in E. coli strains isolated from horse farms in eastern Turkey. A total of 200 equine fecal samples were collected from 16 horse farms (70 Thoroughbred and 130 Arabian horses) in the Adana and Şanlıurfa provinces of Turkey. The presence of ESBL genes, such as blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaSHV, blaOXA-48, and blaKPC in the E. coli strains was investigated using real-time PCR. According to the real-time PCR results, 107 (53.5%) out of 200 E. coli strains were positive for at least one gene. BlaCTX-M, blaSHV, and blaTEM were detected in 11, 6, and 4 strains respectively. blaCTX-M+blaSHV coexisted in 16 strains, blaCTX-M+blaTEM in 11 strains, blaSHV+blaOXA-48 in 8 strains, blaTEM+blaSHV in 8 strains, blaCTX+blaSHV+ blaOXA-48 coexistent in 3 strains, blaCTX-M+blaTEM+blaSHV+blaOXA-48 in 7 strains, blaCTX-M+ blaTEM+blaSHV+blaKPC in 2 strains, and finally, blaCTX-M+blaTEM+blaSHV+blaOXA-48+blaKPC in 3 strains. In a summary, ESBL-producing E. coli strains were frequently seen in the racehorses from eastern Turkey. The excessive misuse of antibiotics has led to the evolution of MDR strains such as ESBL-producing E. coli that cause serious health problems and are difficult to treat. Routine molecular epidemiology studies are warranted to closely monitor these resistant strains.
