The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular characteristics of commensal Escherichia coli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases and showing fluoroquinolone resistance circulating in a healthy population in Ibadan, Nigeria. In total, 101 faecal samples from healthy pregnant women on the day of admission to hospital were collected and plated on eosin-methylene blue agar supplemented with cefotaxime. Genotyping demonstrated the presence of the bla gene in all of the cefotaxime-resistant isolates (n=32), and there was circulation of prevalent clones. The aac(6')-Ib-cr, qnrS1, qepA1 and qnrB1 genes were identified in several strains. A novel plasmid supporting the spread of the bla, bla and qnrS1 genes was identified in these isolates by complete DNA sequencing.
本研究的目的是调查在尼日利亚伊巴丹健康人群中循环的产超广谱β-内酰胺酶并对氟喹诺酮耐药的共生大肠杆菌的分子特征。总共收集了101份健康孕妇入院当天的粪便样本,并接种在补充有头孢噻肟的伊红美蓝琼脂平板上。基因分型显示所有对头孢噻肟耐药的分离株(n = 32)中均存在bla基因,且有流行克隆的循环。在多个菌株中鉴定出了aac(6')-Ib-cr、qnrS1、qepA1和qnrB1基因。通过全DNA测序在这些分离株中鉴定出了一种支持bla、bla和qnrS1基因传播的新型质粒。
