can exist in food animals as multiserovar populations, and different serovars can harbor diverse antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles. Conventional isolation assesses AMR only in the most abundant members of a multiserovar population, which typically reflects their relative abundance in the initial sample. Therefore, AMR in underlying serovars is an undetected reservoir that can readily be expanded upon antimicrobial use. CRISPR-SeroSeq profiling demonstrated that 60% of cattle fecal samples harbored multiple serovars, including low levels of serovar Reading in 11% of samples, which were not found by culture-based isolation. An challenge revealed that serovar Reading was tetracycline resistant, while more abundant serovars were susceptible. This study highlights the importance of AMR surveillance in multiserovar populations.
可以以多血清型群体的形式存在于食用动物中,不同的血清型可能具有不同的抗生素耐药性 (AMR) 特征。传统的分离方法仅评估多血清型群体中最丰富的成员的 AMR,这通常反映了它们在初始样本中的相对丰度。因此,血清型下的 AMR 是一个未被发现的储库,在使用抗生素后很容易被扩大。CRISPR-SeroSeq 分析表明,60%的牛粪便样本携带多种血清型,包括 11%的样本中低水平的 Reading 血清型,而这些血清型无法通过基于培养的分离方法检测到。一项 挑战实验表明,Reading 血清型对四环素具有耐药性,而更为丰富的血清型则具有敏感性。本研究强调了在多血清型群体中进行 AMR 监测的重要性。
