Gene typing of ESBLs-producing third-generation cephalosporins-resistant Shigella in Ningbo, China / 中国人兽共患病学报

ABSTRACT

We investigated the third-generation cephalosporins-resistant Shigella and its genotype in Ningbo,China,providing a basis for disease prevention and control.Pathogenic bacteria were analyzed by direct isolation combined with enrichment culture isolation.Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by K-B disk diffusion method and PCR was used for detecting multidrug resistance genes like CTX-M,OXA,TEM and SHV.BLAST analysis was used to determine the genotype.Results showed that 69 strains of third-generation cephalosporins-resistant Shigella were detected by drug sensitivity screening,accounting for 74.19％ of ESBLs Shigella.Drug resistance gene CTX-M(CTM-M-1 and CTM-M-9),OXA and TEM were detected.The detection rate were 79.71％,79.01％ and 26.09％ respectively.With no CTX-M-2 and SHV,DNA sequence alignment showed CTX-M-1 group were mainly of CTX-M-15 type besides seven other types;CTX-M-9 group were mainly of CTX-M-14 type besides six other types;49 strains of OXA and 18 strains of TEM were sequenced to be type 1 (OXA-1 and TEM-1 type).The 21 Shigella strains carrying more than two drug resistance genes accounts for 30.43 ％.Shigella in Ningbo has high third-generation cephalosporins-resistance rate and many kinds of ESBLs enzymes were detected.The mainstream enzyme type was CTX-M,meanwhile they also carried a variety of drug resistance genes,which could bring difficulties to disease prevention and control.The high carrying rate of OXA-1 type suggests that we should pay more attention.The detection rate of group B was higher than that of group D,including not only the phenotype resistance but also the drug-resistance genes;these findings will be useful in the study of the drug resistance prevalence of Shigella.
