Extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing (ESBL-producing ) have emerged, causing human and animal infections worldwide. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and molecular genetic features of ESBL-producing and multidrug-resistant (MDR) in river water.
A total of 172 samples were collected from the Kok River and Kham River in Chiang Rai, Thailand, during a 10-month period (2020-2021).
We detected 45.3% of to be MDR. The prevalence of ESBL-producers was 22%. Among those ESBL-producing strains, CTX-M-15 (44.7%) was predominantly found, followed by CTX-M-55 (26.3%), CTX-M-14 (18.4%), and CTX-M-27 (10.5%). The and genes were found to be co-harbored with the genes. Mobile elements, ., IS1 and Tn, were observed. Twelve plasmid replicons were found, predominantly being IncF (76.3%) and IncFIB (52.6%). Whole genome sequencing of ten selected isolates revealed the co-existence of ESBL with genes in two ESBL-producing . A wide diversity of MLST classifications was observed. An -- gene cassette was found to disrupt the PUF2806 domain-containing gene, while an contig on another isolate contained the /-- core segment.
In conclusion, our data provides compelling evidence of MDR and ESBL-producing , co-existing with genes in river water in northern Thailand, which may be disseminated into other environments and so cause increased risks to public health.
产生超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL 产生)的 已经出现,导致全球人类和动物感染。本研究旨在调查河流水中 ESBL 产生和多药耐药(MDR) 的流行情况和分子遗传特征。
在 2020 年至 2021 年期间,从泰国清莱的孔河和克姆河共采集了 172 个样本。
我们发现 45.3%的 为 MDR。ESBL 产生菌的检出率为 22%。在这些 ESBL 产生菌中,主要发现 CTX-M-15(44.7%),其次是 CTX-M-55(26.3%)、CTX-M-14(18.4%)和 CTX-M-27(10.5%)。 和 基因与 基因共同存在。观察到移动元件 、. 、IS1 和 Tn。发现了 12 种质粒复制子,主要为 IncF(76.3%)和 IncFIB(52.6%)。对 10 个选定分离株进行全基因组测序,发现两种 ESBL 产生菌中 ESBL 与 基因共存。观察到多种 MLST 分类。在两个 ESBL 产生菌中,发现一个 基因盒破坏了 PUF2806 结构域基因,而另一个分离株的 基因片段则包含 /--核心片段。
总之,我们的数据提供了确凿的证据,表明在泰国北部的河水中存在 MDR 和 ESBL 产生 ,它们与 基因共存,这些基因可能会传播到其他环境中,从而增加对公众健康的威胁。
