“…Studies in different Latin American countries (Table 2) [1,7,[19][20][21][22] have indicated differences in the prevalence of various pathotypes of E. coli. For example, in Colombia and Nicaragua, most of the reported cases of diarrhea are associated with ETEC, and in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru, the most frequent pathotype is EAEC; on the other hand, in Chile, Venezuela, and Uruguay, the main associated pathotype is EPEC [23].…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers antimicrobial resistance to be one of the critical global public health priorities to address. Escherichia coli is a commensal bacterium of the gut microbiota in humans and animals; however, some strains cause infections and are resistant to antibiotics. One of the most common ways of acquiring pathogenic E. coli strains is through food. This review analyzes multidrug-resistant E. coli isolated from food, emphasizing Latin America and Mexico, and the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) responsible for spreading antibiotic resistance determinants among bacteria in different environments and hosts. We conducted a systematic search of the literature published from 2015 to 2022 in open access databases and electronic repositories. The prevalence of 11 E. coli pathotypes was described, with diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes being the most frequently associated with foodborne illness in different Latin American countries, highlighting the presence of different antibiotic resistance genes mostly carried by IncF-type plasmids or class 1 integrons. Although the global incidence of foodborne illness is high, there have been few studies in Mexico and Latin America, which highlights the need to generate updated epidemiological data from the "One Health" approach, which allows monitoring of the multidrug-resistance phenomenon in E. coli from a common perspective in the interaction of human, veterinary, and environmental health.

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli is one of the most prevalent foodborne pathogens and poses significant clinical challenges due to increasing rates of antibiotic resistance. In this study, 9,068 diarrheagenic E. coli isolates from sporadic diarrhea cases across 20 provinces of China from 2016 to 2022 were systematically analyzed to determine the prevalence and distribution of resistance. A total of 14 antibiotics were included in the antimicrobial resistance surveillance. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing indicated that the majority of the isolates (89.3%) were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent, with a significant proportion (60.3%) demonstrating multidrug resistance. Isolates showed high levels of resistance to ampicillin (68.2%) and high sensitivity to imipenem (97.0%). Over the 7 years, an increasing trend in resistance to cefoxitin and chloramphenicol among the isolates was found. Enteroaggregative E. coli was identified as the predominant pathotype. Furthermore, antimicrobial resistance rates were higher among the isolates from infants under 1 year of age compared to other populations and resistance levels differed among pathotypes. In summary, our findings revealed the detailed resistance characteristics of diarrheagenic E. coli strains isolated from human sporadic diarrhea cases in China, offering valuable insights that can inform clinical antibiotic treatment strategies and priorities.
