Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and AmpC β-lactamase (AmpC)-producing from livestock and meat represent a zoonotic risk and biocontrol solutions are needed to prevent transmission to humans.
In this study, we established a representative collection of animal-origin ESBL/AmpC as target to test the antimicrobial potential of bacteriophages.
Bioinformatic analysis of whole-genome sequence data of 198 ESBL/AmpC from pigs, broilers, and broiler meat identified strains belonging to all known phylogroups and 65 multilocus sequence types. Various ESBL/AmpC genes and plasmid types were detected with expected source-specific patterns. Plaque assay using 15 phages previously isolated using the reference collection demonstrated that phages showed the broadest host range, killing up to 26 strains.
154/198 strains were resistant to infection by all phages tested, suggesting a need for isolating phages specific for ESBL/AmpC . The strain collection described in this study is a useful resource fulfilling such need.
家畜和肉类中产生超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)和AmpCβ-内酰胺酶(AmpC)的细菌存在人畜共患病风险,需要生物防治解决方案来防止其传播给人类。
在本研究中,我们建立了一个具有代表性的动物源ESBL/AmpC细菌集合作为测试噬菌体抗菌潜力的目标。
对来自猪、肉鸡和鸡肉的198株ESBL/AmpC细菌的全基因组序列数据进行生物信息学分析,确定了属于所有已知系统发育群和65种多位点序列类型的菌株。检测到各种ESBL/AmpC基因和质粒类型,并呈现出预期的来源特异性模式。使用先前从参考集合中分离出的15种噬菌体进行噬菌斑测定,结果表明一种噬菌体显示出最广泛的宿主范围,可杀死多达26株菌株。
198株菌株中有154株对所有测试噬菌体的感染具有抗性,这表明需要分离针对ESBL/AmpC细菌的特异性噬菌体。本研究中描述的菌株集合是满足此类需求的有用资源。
