Masoud Dadashi et al.

Summary: A systematic review study on the global prevalence and distribution of colistin resistance genes among human clinical isolates of Escherichia coli found that the recent widespread dissemination of E. coli strains harboring mcr genes conferring colistin resistance, especially in Asia and Europe, is concerning and requires more attention.

Populations of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are different in human-polluted environment and food items: a multicentre European study

Daniel Martak et al.

Summary: This study in five European cities found that food items were not the main source of ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Kp, as the strains from contaminated environments were genetically distinct from those in food. The findings suggest that human-to-human transmission is possibly the most frequent route of ESBL-Ec and ESBL-Kp transmission in high-income countries.

Prevalence and Traits of Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene Harbouring Isolates from Different Ecosystems in Africa

Madubuike Umunna Anyanwu et al.

Summary: The mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene poses a threat to the effectiveness of colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, in Africa where the regulation of critically important antimicrobial agents like colistin is lacking. Various mcr genes have been detected in isolates from humans, animals, foods, and the environment on the continent, leading to increased antimicrobial resistance and virulence in African strains. Transmission routes of mcr-containing bacteria in Africa include contact with reservoirs, consumption of contaminated foods, and trade and travel.

Characterization of the Complete Nucleotide Sequences of mcr-1-Encoding Plasmids From Enterobacterales Isolates in Retailed Raw Meat Products From the Czech Republic

Marketa Zelendova et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of mcr-1-carrying plasmids from Enterobacterales isolates recovered from domestic and imported raw retailed meat, and compare them with plasmids in the GenBank database. IncX4, IncI2, and IncHI2 plasmids were found to play a role in disseminating the mcr-1.1 gene in various environmental niches, such as retail meat samples from different geographical regions. IncHI2 plasmids, unlike IncX4 and IncI2, were more diverse and carried additional genes for resistance to heavy metals and multiple antimicrobials.

Genomic diversity of Escherichia coli isolates from backyard chickens and guinea fowl in the Gambia

Ebenezer Foster-Nyarko et al.

Summary: The study revealed that E. coli isolates from chickens and guinea fowl in Gambian homes harbor antimicrobial resistance genes, particularly the ST155 strain showing multidrug resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics, indicating potential pathogenicity. Moreover, close relatedness between Gambian poultry strains and human isolates suggests a risk of transmission.

Virulence Properties of mcr-1-Positive Escherichia coli Isolated from Retail Poultry Meat

Michaela Kubelova et al.

Summary: Escherichia coli is a globally concerning bacterium due to its genetic plasticity and diversity, with a particular focus on pathogenic and antimicrobial-resistant strains. Analysis of retail raw meat in the Czech Republic revealed the presence of mcr-1-positive E. coli strains with zoonotic potential. Whole-genome sequencing methods allow for comprehensive evaluation of virulent properties and antibiotic resistance genes in E. coli strains, highlighting poultry meat as an important reservoir for potentially harmful strains.

Prevalence and Characterization of Quinolone-Resistance Determinants in Escherichia coli Isolated from Food-Producing Animals and Animal-Derived Food in the Philippines

Lawrence Belotindos et al.

Summary: A high prevalence of E. coli harboring quinolone-resistant determinants was found in food-producing animals and products derived from them in the Philippines, with mutations predominantly in the quinolone-resistance determining regions (QRDRs) of gyrA and parC. Additionally, isolates with mutations in QRDR and/or plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes were mostly classified into phylogroup B1 and Enteroaggregative E. coli.

Summary: This study analyzed multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from retail food and humans, identifying multiple resistance genes and plasmids mediating resistance to fosfomycin. The research revealed the rapid spread of a genotype co-harboring mcr-1 and fosA4 genes, with genetic structures similar to regional and international E. coli lineages. The adoption of a WGS-based surveillance system is recommended to monitor the international spread of MDR pathogens.

Global prevalence and molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing-Escherichia coli in dogs and cats - A scoping review and meta-analysis

Marilia Salgado-Caxito et al.

Summary: The prevalence of ESBL-E. coli varied across continents, with a range from 0.63% (Oceania) to 16.56% (Africa) in dogs and from 0% (Oceania) to 16.82% (Asia) in cats. Despite more studies on dogs than on cats, the global prevalence of ESBL-E. coli showed no significant difference between the two species. Numerous ESBL genes and sequence types were found in companion animals, with widespread presence of CTX-M-15 and SHV-12 encoding ESBL-E. coli strains. Further investigation is needed to understand the drivers influencing ESBL-E. coli prevalence and its clinical relevance in veterinary medicine and public health, as well as the economic impact of ESBL-E. coli infections among companion animals.
