The increase of Escherichia coli producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in hospitals and their emergence as intestinal colonisers of healthy humans is of concern. Transmission ways and the extent of spread of distinct E. coli clones or ESBL genes among humans and animals via the food chain or the environment is a matter of debate. In this study we determined ESBL genotypes in E. coli isolates (n=233) resistant to 3rd generation cephalosporins from hospitals and medical practices using PCR and sequencing. Bacterial strain typing was performed by PCR-based phylogrouping, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and a ST131-specific PCR. Results showed that CTX-M-15 (50.4%), CTX-M-1 (28.4%) and CTX-M-14 (5.6%) were the most common ESBL types. Especially, CTX-M-15 was associated with E. coli ST131 of phylogenetic group B2, which was the dominant sequence type among our isolates (35.8%). MLST typing revealed 40 different sequence types (STs), with ST131, ST410, ST10 and ST38 as the most prevalent ones. Our findings give an overview of the current distribution of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates from humans in Germany. E. coli 025b:H4-ST131 was confirmed to be the most common clone, which is known for its successful dissemination worldwide. Although heterogeneity among the isolates was found, several successful clones previously described in animals (ST410, ST10) also occurred in our isolate collection. Further detailed investigations of ESBL-producing isolates from different habitats are needed to evaluate possible transfer ways. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
