ESBL-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from dogs and cats in Switzerland

Characterization of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli recovered from companion dogs in Tai'an, China

“…coli of ST410 carrying the bla CTX-M-15 gene has been detected in dog urinary samples and human samples in China and other countries [16,[25][26][27]. E. coli of ST648 carrying bla CTX-M-15 gene has been frequently found in clinical ESBL-producing E. coli isolates from humans and animals worldwide [15,16,24,28], and therefore the ESBL-producing E. coli of ST648 is regarded as the potential extended-host spectrum genotype. ESBL-producing E. coli of ST533 is sparse and was only detected twice in humans with UTIs in Brazil and Germany [29], once in manure samples of gulls in France [30], and once in urinary samples of pet dogs in Switzerland [16].…”

To our best knowledge, E. coli of ST533 carrying bla CTX-M-15 was detected in companion dog for the first time in China.…”

“…Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used in this study to amplify beta-lactamase resistance genes (bla CTX-M , bla TEM , and bla SHV ) for all ESBL-producing isolates, and the corresponding primers and reaction conditions were used as previously described [16]. The amplified products were either directly sequenced from both ends or cloned in pMD18-T and then sequenced.…”

“…ESBL-producing E. coli not only are the intestinal pathogen, but also the common causative bacterium for urinary tract infections (UTIs) [11]. To date, numerous investigations about prevalence and characterization of ESBL-producing E. coli from humans and companion animals have been reported [12][13][14][15][16][17]; however, information about characteristics of ESBL-producing E. coli from pet animals in China is very limited. To fill the literature gap, the present study was designed to describe the prevalence and characterization of ESBL producers among E. coli urinary tract isolates from pet dogs in Tai'an, China.…”

Nosocomial Infections and their Surveillance in Veterinary Hospitals

“…ESBL E. coli are linked to range of clinical diseases like urinary tract infections, neonatal septicaemia and wound infections (Pitout, 2010;Ewers et al, 2014) and reported from canine clinical isolates (Sanchez et al, 2002;Shaheen et al, 2011). ESBL-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli (CTX-M-15) were isolated from 5% dogs and 3.3% cats in Switzerland (Huber et al, 2013). A survey carried out in Netherlands in companion animals and horses demonstrated a 2% prevalence of ESBL and AmpC-producing isolates.…”
