“…As pathogenic EC has emerged as an important cause of clinical and subclinical disease in poultry, monitoring for resistance in this organism would be desirable. In addition, reports of serious systemic infection with EC have been reported in people (Greub et al 1997;De Baere et al 2000;Hsueh et al 2000;Woo et al 2004;Ahmed et al 2011;Delaunay et al 2015;Warnke et al 2015). Culture methodologies required for recovery of pathogenic EC are fairly straightforward; however, the practicality of monitoring agencies to adopt additional culture techniques for organisms like EC needs to be weighed against the desire to accurately detect antimicrobial resistance.…”

Enterococci are an important reservoir for antimicrobial resistance. This study demonstrates how current culture methods underreport resistance to macrolides in enterococci by selecting against strains of Enterococcus cecorum in pre- and postharvest chicken. Further, the application of postharvest surveillance methods to preharvest samples resulted in selective recovery of Enterococcus faecium over Enterococcus faecalis. Isolates of E. faecium recovered exhibited multidrug resistance including penicillin, daptomycin and linezolid resistance. These findings suggest that culture methodology significantly impacts the range and amount of antimicrobial resistance detected in enterococci isolated from chicken.

Biochar, Bentonite and Zeolite Supplemented Feeding of Layer Chickens Alters Intestinal Microbiota and Reduces Campylobacter Load

A range of feed supplements, including antibiotics, have been commonly used in poultry production to improve health and productivity. Alternative methods are needed to suppress pathogen loads and maintain productivity. As an alternative to antibiotics use, we investigated the ability of biochar, bentonite and zeolite as separate 4% feed additives, to selectively remove pathogens without reducing microbial richness and diversity in the gut. Neither biochar, bentonite nor zeolite made any significant alterations to the overall richness and diversity of intestinal bacterial community. However, reduction of some bacterial species, including some potential pathogens was detected. The microbiota of bentonite fed animals were lacking all members of the order Campylobacterales. Specifically, the following operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were absent: an OTU 100% identical to Campylobacter jejuni; an OTU 99% identical to Helicobacter pullorum; multiple Gallibacterium anatis (>97%) related OTUs; Bacteroides dorei (99%) and Clostridium aldenense (95%) related OTUs. Biochar and zeolite treatments had similar but milder effects compared to bentonite. Zeolite amended feed was also associated with significant reduction in the phylum Proteobacteria. All three additives showed potential for the control of major poultry zoonotic pathogens.

Significance and Impact of the Study: This study demonstrates that poultry environment of Karachi city harbours a diverse reservoir of Enterococcus spp. with multiple antibiotic resistance and virulence determinants. It is expected that the results will help in assessing the impact of multiple antibiotic resistance and virulent enterococci on public health, improvement of farm management practices and preventing their dissemination. Our findings strongly suggest the need for reducing antibiotic usage during poultry production, particularly those that are being used to treat human infections. AbstractEnterococci are well-established causative agents of a number of diseases in humans and animals alike. A total of 1047 isolates (838 presumptive enterococci and 209 non-enterococci), related to poultry environment (faeces/ manure, feed, water and air), were evaluated for species diversity, virulence potential, antibiotic resistance and associated threats. Multiplex PCR of 204 presumptive enterococci using genus (16s rDNA)-and species-specific (superoxide dismutase) primer set leads to identification of six Enterococcus spp., i.e. Ent. faecium, Ent. faecalis, Ent. mundtti, Ent. hirae, Ent. gallinarum and Ent. casseliflavus. BOX-PCR analysis of the representative strains confirmed inter-strain variation among species. Although enterococci generally appear to be catalase negative, Ent. faecalis from some faecal, water and air samples showed catalase production. In vitro assays identified poultry environment as a reservoir of MVD and MAR enterococci and non-enterococci. In addition to vancomycin, high-level-ampicillin-, clarithromycin-, erythromycin-, kanamycinand gentamicin-resistant enterococci and non-enterococci are also indicated. Our results show that virulence potential and resistance vary with the source of isolation. Our studies on MAR and MVD enterococci in environment, especially in air and water, clearly indicate the need for a serious commitment to deal with pathogenic enterococci associated with poultry for preventing transmission of infectious agent to humans.
