Convergence of resistance and evolutionary responses in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica co-inhabiting chicken farms in China

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Jan. 5, 2024

Abstract Sharing of genetic elements among different pathogens and commensals inhabiting same hosts environments has significant implications for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), especially in settings with high exposure. We analysed 661 Escherichia coli Salmonella enterica isolates collected within across environments, 10 Chinese chicken farms over 2.5 years using data-mining methods. Most possessed the clinically relevant AMR-carrying mobile (plasmids: 70.6%, transposons: 78%), which also showed recent common evolution. Supervised machine learning classifiers revealed known novel AMR-associated mutations genes underlying to 28 antimicrobials, primarily associated E. susceptibility S. . Many were essential affected metabolic processes both species, albeit varying degrees phylogenetic penetration. Multi-modal strategies are crucial investigate interplay mobilome, metabolism cohabiting bacteria, ecological where community-driven selection occurs.

Dissecting microbial communities and resistomes for interconnected humans, soil, and livestock

The ISME Journal, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 17(1), P. 21 - 35

Published: Sept. 23, 2022

Abstract A debate is currently ongoing as to whether intensive livestock farms may constitute reservoirs of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance (AMR), thus posing a threat surrounding communities. Here, combining shotgun metagenome sequencing, machine learning (ML), and culture-based methods, we focused on poultry farm connected slaughterhouse in China, investigating the gut microbiome livestock, workers their households, microbial communities carcasses soil. For both resistomes this study, differences are observed across environments hosts. However, at finer scale, several similar genes (ARGs) associated mobile genetic elements were found human broiler chicken samples. Next, Escherichia coli, an important indicator for surveillance AMR farm. Strains E. coli intermixed between humans chickens. We that ARGs present faecal resistome showed correlation resistance/susceptibility profiles isolates cultured from same Finally, by using environmental sensing these be correlated variations temperature humidity. Our results show importance adopting multi-domain multi-scale approach when studying complex, interconnected environments.

Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA in Livestock: Antimicrobial Resistance and Genetic Lineages

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 124 - 124

Published: Jan. 3, 2023

Animal production is associated with the frequent use of antimicrobial agents for growth promotion and prevention, treatment, control animal diseases, thus maintaining health productivity. Staphylococcus aureus, in particular methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), can cause a variety infections from superficial skin soft tissue to life-threatening septicaemia. represents serious public problem hospital community settings, as well an economic welfare problem. Livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) was first described sequence (ST) 398 that grouped within clonal complex (CC) 398. Initially, LA-MRSA strains were restricted CC398, but over years it has become clear its diversity much greater constantly changing, trend increasingly multidrug resistance. Therefore, this review, we aimed describe main lineages different animals, such swine, cattle, rabbits, poultry, verify resistance each species lineage. Overall, ST398 still remains most common clone among livestock reported goats, pigs, birds, often together spa-type t011. Nevertheless, wide worldwide livestock.

Machine learning and metagenomics reveal shared antimicrobial resistance profiles across multiple chicken farms and abattoirs in China

Nature Food, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 4(8), P. 707 - 720

Published: Aug. 10, 2023

China is the largest global consumer of antimicrobials and improving surveillance methods could help to reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread. Here we report ten large-scale chicken farms four connected abattoirs in three Chinese provinces over 2.5 years. Using a data mining approach based on machine learning, analysed 461 microbiomes from birds, carcasses environments, identifying 145 potentially mobile antibiotic genes (ARGs) shared between chickens environments across all farms. A core set 233 ARGs 186 microbial species extracted gut microbiome correlated with AMR profiles Escherichia coli colonizing same gut, including Arcobacter, Acinetobacter Sphingobacterium, clinically relevant for humans, 38 ARGs. Temperature humidity barns were also ARG presence. We reveal an intricate network correlations communities AMR, suggesting multiple routes livestock production.
