Epidemiology of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli in the Stools of Returning Japanese Travelers, and the Risk Factors for Colonization

Abstract: ObjectiveTravel overseas has recently been considered a risk factor for colonization with drug-resistant bacteria. The purpose of this study was to establish the epidemiology and risk factors associated with the acquisition of drug-resistant bacteria by Japanese travelers.MethodsBetween October 2011 and September 2012, we screened the stools of 68 Japanese returning travelers for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli. All specimens were sampled for clinical reasons. Based on the resul… Show more

“…These results correlate with ESBLs families most commonly associated with ESBL-producing E. coli causing community-onset UTIs in most areas of the world. 5,7,17,[25][26][27][28][29][30] Because four strains were phenotypically negative to the bla CTX-M , bla TEM and bla SHV genes, these results suggest the involvement of other ESBLs genes that were not tested for in this study. For example, bla VEB gen has been reported within the genes identified from ESBL-producing E. coli isolated from community-onset UTIs in Taiwan 31 and bla TLA-1 gen has been identified in 11% of the ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae causing nosocomial infections in Mexico.…”

“…In addition to multi-drug efflux pumps, five isolates contained CTX-M15 and TEM-1 , with one isolate also carrying OXA-1 . As previously reported, CTX-M15 has emerged recently in travel-related infections caused by pathogenic E. coli worldwide [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae strains carrying CTX-M (ESBL- CTX-M ) have been reported in healthy humans, and an ESBL- CTX-M15 E. coli B2:ST131 clone has been associated with hospital and community acquired infections [ 49 ].…”

“…Traveling (predominantly to South Asia) and having a high degree of contact with broilers are today’s most important identified risk factors for colonization with ESBL positive bacteria [ 12 , 22 , 23 , 28 , 29 ]. In our study, we analyzed several potential risk factors for HR-GNR colonization.…”
