OBJECTIVES: Aquatic ecosystems serve as a dissemination pathway and a reservoir of both antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of colistin-resistant mcr-like genes in Enterobacteriales in aquatic products, which may be contribute to the transfer of ARGs in water environments.
METHODS: The mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli were recovered from 123 freshwater fish and 34 cultured crocodile cecum samples from 10 farmers' markets in Guangdong, China. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the agar dilution method. Genotyping was performed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). Conjugation assay was carried out to investigate the transferability of mcr-1. Genomic information was obtained by whole genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS: Forty-four mcr-1 positive isolates showed co-resistance to tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and gentamicin, while they were all sensitive to tigecycline, meropenem, and amikacin. They were typed into sixteen PFGE clusters. ST10 and ST117 were the most popular sequence types, followed by ST1114. S1-PFGE verified the presence of the mcr-1 gene on plasmids in sizes of ∼60 kb (n = 1) and ∼240 kb (n = 3). Whole genome sequencing-based analysis identified mcr-1 integrated in IncHI2 plasmid (n = 3), IncI2 plasmid (n = 2), and bacterial chromosome in two copies (n = 1). In addition to mcr-1, they carried several other antibiotic resistance genes, such as blaCTX-M-14, fosA3, and aac(6')-Ib-cr.
CONCLUSION: These data suggest that aquatic products are an important antibiotic resistance reservoir and highlight possible risks regarding food safety.
