A prevalence study in two nursing homes (one each in the Netherlands and Ireland) found four (11%) Dutch and six (9%) Irish residents colonized with 11 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli, 10 of which contained CTX-M-15. Four Dutch isolates, from three residents of the same ward, belonged to E. coli O25:H4, sequence type (ST) 131 and were part of the same cluster type by whole-genome sequencing. Four Irish residents on three different wards were colonized with an identical E. coli O89:H9, ST131, complex type 1478. Cross-transmission between three Irish wards may reflect differences in nursing home infrastructure, specifically communal areas and multi-bedded resident rooms.
一项在两家养老院(一家在荷兰,一家在爱尔兰)进行的流行性病学研究发现,4 名(11%)荷兰居民和 6 名(9%)爱尔兰居民定植了 11 株产超广谱β-内酰胺酶的大肠埃希菌,其中 10 株含有 CTX-M-15。4 株来自同一病房的 3 名居民的荷兰分离株属于大肠埃希菌 O25:H4、序列型(ST)131,通过全基因组测序属于同一聚类型。3 个不同病房的 4 名爱尔兰居民定植了一株相同的大肠埃希菌 O89:H9、ST131、复合型 1478。3 名爱尔兰居民之间的交叉传播可能反映了养老院基础设施的差异,特别是公共区域和多床位居民房间。
