Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the prevalence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) colistin resistance and mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes among extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)/AmpC-producing E. coli isolates recovered from chicken feces in Canada (Quebec), Senegal and Vietnam, and evaluated the susceptibility pattern of the colistin-resistant E. coli isolates to other clinically relevant antimicrobials. METHODS: A total of 327 potential ESBL/AmpC-producing E. coli isolates from chicken farms in Canada (Quebec), Senegal and Vietnam were analysed for colistin susceptibility by broth microdilution method and for the presence of mcr (1-2) genes by PCR. The pmrA and pmrB genes of colistin-resistant E. coli isolates, in the absence of mcr (1-2) genes, were sequenced. Antimicrobial resistance phenotypes of colistin-resistant E. coli isolates were determined by disk diffusion. RESULTS: None of the 108 potential ESBL/AmpC-producing E. coli isolates from seven farms in Canada were colistin-resistant or possessed mcr-1 or mcr-2 gene. A low prevalence of 2.2% of colistin resistance was observed in 93 Senegalese isolates from the 15 sampled farms, although neither mcr-1 nor mcr-2 gene was found. A prevalence of 8.7% of colistin resistance was observed among 126 Vietnamese isolates from two of the four sampled farms. The mcr-1 gene was detected in 85% of the 13 phenotypically colistin-resistant isolates. Moreover, all colistin-resistant isolates presented a multidrug-resistant phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: The co-existence of the mcr-1 and ESBL/AmpC genes and the very high level of multiple drug resistance in all colistin-resistant E. coli isolates obtained from sampled chicken farms in Vietnam is a major concern.
