Carriage of CTX-M-15-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates among Children Living in a Remote Village in Senegal

Abstract: Two out of 20 children with no known antibiotic exposure, living in a very remote Senegalese village, were found to be fecal carriers of a multiresistant Escherichia coli clone that produced CTX-M-15. This highlights the current massive spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamases, even in isolated communities.

“…These results support previous findings suggesting a wider dissemination of AAC(69)-Ib-cr than Qnr determinants, especially in multiple clones of E. coli carrying the bla CTX-M-15 gene (Pitout et al, 2009;Ruppé et al, 2009;Soge et al, 2006).…”

“…Moreover, ESBL maintenance in the bacterial population may be due to the high levels of use of ampicillin or by co-selection related to the presence in the same genetic structure of mechanisms of resistance for other non-related antimicrobial agents used in the area. In this line of thought, carriage of bla CTX-M-15 -producing E. coli isolates was reported in children living in a remote village with no data known of antibiotic exposure [30]. These data agree with the current massive spread of ESBLs worldwide.…”

“…Although ESBLs have been previously reported in sub-Saharan Africa [5][6][7][27][28][29][30], the report of ESBLs in a rural hospital with limited access to third-generation cephalosporins, such as in Manhiça, Mozambique, is relevant, suggesting again the coselection of antibiotic resistance genes. Despite access to thirdgeneration cephalosporins being limited in this community, a high prevalence of b-lactamase genes, such as bla TEM-like and bla OXA-like , has been reported in Shigella and Salmonella isolates in previous studies, reflecting of the high use of ampicillin in the area [23].…”

“…In our study, the prevalence of ESBL-E. coli carriage in stool was as high as 66.3%. This is much higher than in a 2012 study in northern Cameroon which reported a prevalence of 23.1% among community outpatients [3] or in other African studies which reported rates of 30.9 % in Niger [10], 10% in Senegal [11] and 7.3 % in Tunisia [12]. This is even higher to what has been reported in China where a rate of 50.5% of CTX-M-E. coli [13] was described.…”
