Extended-Spectrum B-Lactamase Genes of Escherichia coli in Chicken Meat and Humans, the Netherlands

Abstract: We determined the prevalence and characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes of Enterobacteriaceae in retail chicken meat and humans in the Netherlands. Raw meat samples were obtained, and simultaneous cross-sectional surveys of fecal carriage were performed in 4 hospitals in the same area. Human blood cultures from these hospitals that contained ESBL genes were included. A high prevalence of ESBL genes was found in chicken meat (79.8%). Genetic analysis showed that the predominant ESBL genes… Show more

“…This finding is supported by data from our study: 50% of participants who had a positive pretravel sample had traveled during the previous 12 months. This high percentage of carriers identified in this study before travel points toward ongoing importation of ESBL-E. Other potential reservoirs for ESBL-E are poultry and other retail meats, which have been found to be contaminated with ESBL-producing E. coli strains harboring the genes on identical plasmids as found in human isolates ( 15 , 16 ). …”

“…A large proportion of resistant isolates causing human infections are derived from food animals ( 3 6 ). However, lack of data has made it difficult to quantify the proportion of antimicrobial drug resistant E. coli infecting persons through food sources and the resultant effects on human health.…”

“…However, lack of data has made it difficult to quantify the proportion of antimicrobial drug resistant E. coli infecting persons through food sources and the resultant effects on human health. Recent data from the Netherlands now make such estimates possible ( 2 , 6 ). The additional illness and death among humans resulting from bloodstream infections caused by third-generation cephalosporin–resistant E. coli (G3CREC) has been calculated for Europe ( 2 ).…”
