摘要
BackgroundAntibiotic resistance is one of the most serious global health problems and threatens the effective treatment of bacterial infections. Of greatest concern are infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of ESBL-EC isolated over an 18-year pre-COVID period from lower respiratory tract (LRT) samples collected from selected Slovenian hospitals.Objectives and methodsAll isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF and phenotypically confirmed as ESBLs by a disk diffusion assay. Using a PCR approach, 487 non-repetitive isolates were assigned to phylogroups, sequence type groups, and clonal groups. Isolates were also screened for virulence-associated genes (VAGs) and antimicrobial resistance genes.ResultsThe prevalence of ESBL-EC isolates from LRT in a large university hospital was low (1.4%) in 2005 and increased to 10.8% by 2019. The resistance profile of 487 non-repetitive isolates included in the study showed a high frequency of group 1 blaCTX-M (77.4%; n = 377), blaTEM (54.4%; n = 265) and aac(6')-Ib-cr (52%; n = 253) genes and a low proportion of blaSHV and qnr genes. Isolates were predominantly assigned to phylogroup B2 (73.1%; n = 356), which was significantly associated with clonal group ST131. The ST131 group accounted for 67.6% (n = 329) of all isolates and had a higher number of virulence factor genes than the non-ST131 group. The virulence gene profile of ST131 was consistent with that of other extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains and was significantly associated with ten of sixteen virulence factor genes tested. Using ERIC-PCR fingerprinting, isolates with the same ERIC-profile in samples from different patients, and at different locations and sampling dates were confirmed, indicating the presence of "hospital-adapted" strains.ConclusionOur results suggest that the ESBL-EC isolates from LRT do not represent a specific pathotype, but rather resemble other ExPEC isolates, and may be adapted to the hospital environment. To our knowledge, this is the first study of ESBL-EC isolated from LRT samples collected over a long period of time.
