RESUMO

The study aimed to investigate (i) the occurrence of third-generation cephalosporins and/or carbapenems non-sensitive Enterobacterales in Pavia surface and groundwaters, (ii) their resistance determinants, and (iii) the clonal features of the most relevant strains. During May 13 and 14, 2019, n = 18 water samples from n = 12 sampling sites in the urban/peri-urban area of Pavia (Po Plain, Northern Italy) have been evaluated. At first, hydrochemical analysis and bacterial plate counts were carried out on all the water samples. One milliliter of each water sample was then screened on both MacConkey agar (MC) added with cefotaxime (1 mg/L; 2 mg/L) and MC plus meropenem (0.25 mg/L; 4 mg/L). Species identification and antimicrobial susceptibilities were assessed by MicroScan autoSCAN-4. Double Disk Synergy (DD) test, CT103XL microarray, acc(6')-Ib-cr, qnrS, blaCTX-M-/MOX-/VEB-/OXA-type genes targeted PCR and sequencing, Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), MultiLocus Sequence Typing (MLST), and Whole-Genome Sequencing on selected strains were performed. A total of n = 30 isolates grown on ß-lactams enriched MC: Escherichia coli (n = 21; 70%), Klebsiella spp. (n = 5; 16.6%), Citrobacter freundii (n = 2; 6.7%), and Kluyvera intermedia (n = 2; 6.7%). All E. coli and K. pneumoniae were ESßL-producers by DD. The 66.6, 38.0, and 19.0% of E. coli were ciprofloxacin/levofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and gentamicin resistant (EUCAST 2019 breakpoints), respectively. A blaCTX-M-type determinant was identified in E. coli (n = 20/21; 95.2%) and K. pneumoniae (n = 2/3; 66.7%). The remaining E. coli was blaVEB-1 and blaMOX-2 genes positive. The aac(6')-Ib-cr determinant was found in n = 7 E. coli and n = 1 K. pneumoniae, while qnrS was found in n = 1 E. coli and n = 2 K. pneumoniae. PFGE showed clonal heterogeneity among ESßL-E. coli. Two out of four E. coli detected as blaOXA-244-positive, belonged to the pandemic ST131. One XDR K. pneumoniae from a stream sample, detected as blaKPC-2 positive, resulted of ST258. The epidemiological impact of blaOXA-244 ST131 E. coli and blaKPC-2 ST258 K. pneumoniae presence in surface waters of an urban area in Northern Italy must not be underestimated.

RESUMO

To evaluate the water compartment antibiotic-resistance contamination rates, 11 wells, five streams, and four treatment plants located in the Oltrepò Pavese area were screened for the presence of third generation cephalosporins resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Enterobacteriaceae were also characterized for the Extended-Spectrum-ß-Lactamases (ESBLs), carbapenemases, and mcr-1 genes presence. From December 2014 to November 2015, 246 water samples were filtered, plated on Plate Count Agar, MacConkey Agar, and MacConkey Agar with cefotaxime. Isolates were species identified using AutoSCAN-4-System and ESBLs, carbapenemases, and colistin resistance determinants were characterized by PCR, sequencing, and microarray. Plasmid conjugative transfer experiments, PCR-based Replicon typing, Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, Multi-Locus-Sequence-Typing, and in-silico plasmid characterization were performed. A total of 132 enterobacteria isolates grew on MacConkey agar with cefotaxime: 82 (62.1%) were obtained from streams, 41 (31.1%) from treatment plants, and 9 (6.8%) from wells. Thirty out of 132 (22.7%) isolates, mainly belonging to Escherichia coli (n = 15) species, showed a synergic effect with piperacillin-tazobactam. A single ESBL gene of blaCTX-M-type was identified in 19/30 isolates. In further two E. coli strains, a blaCTX-M-1 gene co-existed with a blaSHV-type ESBL determinant. A blaSHV-12 gene was detected in two isolates of E. coli (n = 1) and Klebsiella oxytoca (n = 1), while any ESBL determinant was ascertained in seven Yersinia enterocolitica strains. A blaDHA-type gene was detected in a cefoxitin resistant Y. enterocolitica from a stream. Interestingly, two Klebsiella pneumoniae strains of ST307 and ST258, collected from a well and a wastewater treatment plant, resulted KPC-2, and KPC-3 producers, respectively. Moreover, we report the first detection of mcr-1.2 ST10 E. coli on a conjugative IncX4 plasmid (33.303 bp in size) from a stream of Oltrepò Pavese (Northern Italy). Both ESBLs E. coli and ESBLs/carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae strains showed clonal heterogeneity by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis and Multi-Locus-Sequence-Typing. During one-year study and taking in account the whole Gram-negative bacterial population, an average percentage of cefotaxime resistance of 69, 32, and 10.3% has been obtained for the wastewater treatment plants, streams, and wells, respectively. These results, of concern for public health, highlight the need to improve hygienic measures to reduce the load of discharged bacteria with emerging resistance mechanisms.
