serovar Kentucky (. Kentucky) sequence type 198 has emerged as a global zoonotic pathogen. We explored serovar Kentucky ST198 samples from the broiler chicken supply chain and patients between 2010 and 2016. Here, we collected 180 . Kentucky isolates from clinical cases and the poultry supply chain. We performed pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing. We assessed mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions and screened for the presence of the genomic island 1 (SGI1). We determined that 63 (35.0%) of the 180 isolates were . Kentucky ST198. Chinese strains of . Kentucky ST198 have a high transmission of ciprofloxacin resistance (38/63, 60.3%) and a high risk of multidrug resistance. The quinolone resistance of the . Kentucky ST198 strain found in China may be due to mutations in its quinolone resistance-determining region. Our study firstly revealed that ciprofloxacin-resistant . Kentucky ST198 strains can undergo cross-host transmission, thereby causing a serious foodborne public health problem in China.
肯塔基血清型(. Kentucky)序列型198已成为一种全球人畜共患病原体。我们对2010年至2016年间来自肉鸡供应链和患者的肯塔基血清型ST198样本进行了研究。在此,我们从临床病例和家禽供应链中收集了180株. Kentucky分离株。我们进行了脉冲场凝胶电泳和多位点序列分型。我们评估了喹诺酮耐药决定区的突变,并筛查了基因组岛1(SGI1)的存在情况。我们确定180株分离株中有63株(35.0%)为. Kentucky ST198。中国的. Kentucky ST198菌株对环丙沙星耐药的传播率很高(38/63,60.3%),且多重耐药风险高。在中国发现的. Kentucky ST198菌株的喹诺酮耐药性可能归因于其喹诺酮耐药决定区的突变。我们的研究首次揭示,耐环丙沙星的. Kentucky ST198菌株可发生跨宿主传播,从而在中国引发严重的食源性公共卫生问题。
