Prevalence and Characterization of Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamases-ProducingSalmonella entericaIsolates in Saragossa, Spain (2001–2008)

Abstract: We analyzed the prevalence of resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) among clinical strains of Salmonella enterica collected by the Laboratory of Clinical Microbiology in the University Clinical Hospital Lozano Blesa in the region of Aragón (Spain), for which very few epidemiological information exists. A total of 2,092 strains of S. enterica were identified in stool samples from patients with gastroenteritis. Five isolates showed an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype: four isolat… Show more

“…In addition, IncI1-I␥-type conjugative plasmids with sizes of ϳ75 kb (1 plasmid) and ϳ100 kb (2 plasmids) were also detectable in transconjugants. Studies from different regions of the world also reported the presence of IncI1 plasmids carrying bla CTX-M-14 and other bla CTX-M variants in Salmonella (22,25,26). Interestingly, the size of some of these plasmids (ϳ90 kb) was similar to the size of plasmids recoverable from the S. Enteritidis strains tested in this study.…”

“…Various studies previously reported the presence of IncI1 plasmids that carried the bla CTX-M-14 element and other bla CTX-M variants in Salmonella spp. (9)(10)(11). In addition, other plasmid types, such as IncF, FIIA, F1B, HI2, Y, and B/O, have also been reported to be associated with bla CTX-M-14 and other bla CTX-M elements in Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (12).…”

“…This is an indication that the isolates could be harboring cefotaximehydrolyzing β-lactamases (CTX-M types) or CMY-2 AmpC β-lactamase that could hydrolyze cephalosporins normally transferred through conjugative plasmids, transposons, or integrons [52,53]. This is supported by the fact that resistance to β-lactams in S. enterica is primarily caused by the production of acquired β-lactamases [54], with TEM-1, PSE-1, and OXA-1 having been described as the enzymes most frequently related to ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate resistance. Thus, the resistance pattern of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, carbenicillin, and ampicillin observed in this study resulted from the β-lactamase enzyme [55].…”
