CTX-M-15 Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase in a Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolate of Serotype O111:H8

Abstract: We report the discovery of a CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) of serogroup O111:H8, a major serotype responsible for human enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections. In line with the recent CTX-M-15/O104:H4 E. coli outbreak, these data may reflect an accelerating spread of resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins within the E. coli population, including STEC isolates.

“…Subtyping of stx 1 and stx 2 genes was performed as described previously (33). The presence of additional EHEC virulence markers (ehxA gene and OI-122-associated genes, namely, pagC, nleB, and efa1 genes) was screened by PCR as described previously (34,35). The presence of the virulence marker espK was screened by PCR for STEC O26:H11 (36).…”

“…The espP, eae, stx 1 , and stx 2 genes were detected as described previously (10,13,22) by using the primers listed in Table 1. eae variants and the genomic island OI-122 were detected by real-time PCR (29,47). A subset of 36 E. coli isolates from the A (13 isolates), B1 (10 isolates), and D (13 isolates) phylogroups that were positive for the eae, stx 1 , and/or espP gene was randomly sampled and was subjected to DNA microarray analysis (Identibac EC, Alere, France) for the presence of stx 1 , stx 2 , eae, and 38 additional virulence factors (VFs) (see Table 4).…”

“…This ␤-lactamase and other CTX-M-type enzymes are also prevalent in other virulent E. coli clones, such as Shiga toxinproducing serotype O111:H8 (27) and O26:H11 (28), and even in E. coli strains isolated from chicken and pig farms in Spain, highlighting the potential risk of zoonotic transmission (29). Thus, virulence factors have been identified in E. coli isolates that produce CTX-M-type ESBL (30), and E. coli ST131, which produces the widespread NDM-1 enzyme, has been found to exhibit a wide array of virulence factors (31).…”
