We screened 1840 Enterobacteriaceae isolates from food-producing animals, meat, meat products and animal feed, for the detection of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance, during 2010-2015. The mcr-1 gene was detected in 8.0% (97/1206) Escherichia coli and in 0.47% (3/634) Salmonella enterica isolates, with a high number of mcr-1 positive E. coli isolates (45.7%) being extended-spectrum β-lactamase or plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase co-producers. No mcr-2 gene was detected. Our findings highlight the spread of mcr-1 genes within a wide-ranging sample of food-producing animals and meat, in Portugal.
我们在 2010 年至 2015 年期间,从食品生产动物、肉类、肉类产品和动物饲料中筛选了 1840 株肠杆菌科分离株,以检测质粒介导的多粘菌素耐药性。在 8.0%(97/1206)的大肠杆菌和 0.47%(3/634)的沙门氏菌分离株中检测到 mcr-1 基因,其中大量 mcr-1 阳性大肠杆菌分离株(45.7%)为产超广谱β-内酰胺酶或质粒介导的 AmpCβ-内酰胺酶共生产者。未检测到 mcr-2 基因。我们的研究结果强调了 mcr-1 基因在葡萄牙广泛的食品生产动物和肉类样本中的传播。
