The rapid dissemination of the macrolide resistance gene erm(B) will likely compromise the efficacy of macrolides as the treatment of choice for campylobacteriosis. More importantly, erm(B) is always associated with several multidrug resistance genomic islands (MDRGI5), which confer resistance to multiple other antimicrobials. Continuous monitoring of the emergence of erm(B) and analysis of its associated genetic environments are crucial for our understanding of macrolide resistance in Campylobacter. In this study, 290 Campylobacter isolates (216 Campylobacter coil isolates and 74 Campylobacter jejuni isolates) were obtained from 1,039 fecal samples collected in 2016 from pigs and chickens from three regions of China (344 samples from Guangdong, 335 samples from Shanghai, and 360 samples from Shandong). Overall, 74 isolates (72 C. coli isolates and 2 C. jejuni isolates) were PCR positive for erm(B). Combined with data from previous years, we observed a trend of increasing prevalence of erm(B) in C. coli. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses suggested that both clonal expansion and horizontal transmission were involved in the dissemination of erm(B) in C. coli, and three novel types of erm(B)-associated MDRGIs were identified among the isolates. Furthermore, 2 erm(B)-harboring C. jejuni isolates also contained an aminoglycoside resistance genomic island and a multidrug-resistance-enhancing efflux pump, encoded by RE-cmeABC. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that most of the isolates were resistant to all clinically important antimicrobial agents used for the treatment of campylobacteriosis. These findings suggest that the increasing prevalence of erm(B)-associated MDRGIs might further limit treatment options for campylobacteriosis.
