The epidemiology of invasive listeriosis in humans appears to be weakly characterized in Poland, the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. We obtained antimicrobial susceptibility data, PCR-serogroups and genotypic profiles for 344 invasive isolates of Listeria monocytogenes, collected between 1997 and 2013 in Poland. All isolates were susceptible to the 10 tested antimicrobials, except one that was resistant to tetracycline and minocycline and harbored the tet(M), tet(A) and tet(C) genes. Overall, no increasing MIC values were observed during the study period. Four PCR-serogroups were observed: IVb (55.8%), IIa (34.3%), IIb (8.1%) and IIc (1.8%). We identified clonal complexes (CCs) and epidemic clones (ECs) previously involved in outbreaks worldwide, with the most prevalent CCs/ECs being: CC6/ECII (32.6%), CC1/ECI (17.2%), CC8/ECV (6.1%) and CC2/ECIV (5.5%). The present study is the first extensive analysis of Polish L. monocytogenes isolates from invasive infections.
在欧盟第六大人口成员国波兰,人类侵袭性李斯特菌病的流行病学特征似乎并不明显。我们获得了 1997 年至 2013 年间在波兰收集的 344 株侵袭性李斯特菌分离株的药敏数据、PCR 血清群和基因型谱。所有分离株对 10 种测试的抗生素均敏感,除一株对四环素和米诺环素耐药,并携带 tet(M)、tet(A)和 tet(C)基因。总体而言,在研究期间未观察到 MIC 值增加。观察到 4 个 PCR 血清群:IVb(55.8%)、IIa(34.3%)、IIb(8.1%)和 IIc(1.8%)。我们鉴定了以前在全球范围内与暴发有关的克隆复合体(CC)和流行克隆(EC),最常见的 CC/EC 是:CC6/ECII(32.6%)、CC1/ECI(17.2%)、CC8/ECV(6.1%)和 CC2/ECIV(5.5%)。本研究是对波兰侵袭性感染李斯特菌分离株的首次广泛分析。
