摘要:

【目的】了解新疆阿克苏地区猪源粪肠球菌中optrAlsa(E)的流行及传播特点,并探明optrAlsa(E)阳性粪肠球菌的耐药情况,为评估两个耐药基因对公共卫生的影响和危害提供科学依据。【方法】对新疆农业大学兽医药理学实验室分离保存的322株粪肠球菌采用PCR的方法进行optrAlsa(E)筛查,根据CLSI推荐药物及方法采用琼脂稀释法测定optrAlsa(E)阳性菌株对氨苄西林、红霉素、泰乐菌素、四环素、多西环素、利奈唑胺、氟苯尼考、万古霉素、左氧氟沙星、恩诺沙星、庆大霉素和沃尼妙林的最小抑菌浓度(MIC)并进行耐药判定,利用PCR方法筛查相应的耐药基因,包括ermA、ermB、ermC、fexA、fexB、tet(K)、tet(L)、tet(M)、aac(6')-le-aph(2")-Iacfr。选取31株不同来源的optrAlsa(E)阳性粪肠球菌进行MLST分子分型和接合转移试验。【结果】共193株粪肠球菌检出optrA和/或lsa(E),其中38株optrAlsa(E)共存,9株仅携带optrA,146株仅携带lsa(E)。这193株粪肠球菌对红霉素、泰乐菌素、四环素、多西环素、庆大霉素和沃尼妙林的耐药率均达到100%,虽然optrA检出率远低于lsa(E),但optrA阳性菌株总体耐药程度明显高于仅携带lsa(E)的菌株以及optrAlsa(E)双阴性的菌株,其耐药基因的检出结果也呈现相同趋势。optrAlsa(E)共存和仅携带optrA菌株的多重耐药谱集中在8耐和10耐,占比分别为84.6%和100.0%,而仅携带lsa(E)的菌株和optrAlsa(E)双阴性菌株的多重耐药谱主要集中在6—8耐,占比为89.4%和90.7%。进一步分析optrAlsa(E)与耐药性之间的关系发现,耐药较为严重的猪场optrAlsa(E)的检出率也相对较高。耐药基因检出结果显示:193株菌均不同程度地携带ermBermCtet(K)tet(L)tet(M)aac(6')-Ie-aph(2")-Iafex(A),并且optrAlsa(E)共存的菌株及仅携带optrA菌株的耐药基因检出率总体上也高于仅携带lsa(E)的菌株和optrAlsa(E)双阴性菌株。MLST和接合转移试验结果提示,optrA/lsa(E)菌株遗传环境复杂、可能既存在克隆传播又存在水平转移的现象。【结论】新疆阿克苏地区猪源粪肠球菌中optrAlsa(E)的高携带率以及高耐药水平表明该地区耐药形势严峻,对当地生猪养殖业甚至于公共卫生安全都造成威胁,应及时采取措施以防控耐药性的进一步发展。

Abstract:

【Objective】 The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of optrA and lsa(E) genes in Enterococcus faecalis isolates from pig farms in Aksu region of Xinjiang and the resistance profiles of these optrA/lsa(E)-carrying isolates, which would provide scientific data for evaluating the impact and hazard of these two important resistance genes. 【Method】PCR screening of optrA and lsa(E) genes were conducted for the collected 322 E. faecalis isolates in laboratory of veterinary pharmacology from Xinjiang Agricultural University. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of doxycycline, linezolid, florfenicol, vancomycin, levofloxacin, enrofloxacin, gentamicin and valnemulin were determined by agar dilution method recommended by CLSI documents. Corresponding resistance genes, including ermA, ermB, ermC, fexA, fexB, tet(K), tet(L), tet(M), aac(6')-le- aph(2")-Ia, and cfr, were detected by PCR method. 31 strains with different backgrounds were selected to determine the MLST types and subjected to conjugation transfer experiments. 【Result】A total of 193 E. faecalis isolates were positive for optrA and/or lsa(E), of which 38 strains co-harbored optrA and lsa(E), 9 strains produced only optrA gene, and 146 strains contained only lsa(E) gene. The 193 E. faecalis strains showed 100% resistance to erythromycin, tylosin, tetracycline, doxycycline, gentamicin and valnemulin. Although the detection rate of optrA gene was much lower than that of lsa(E), the bacterial resistance degree in optrA-carrying isolates was significantly higher than that in strains carrying only lsa(E) gene and optrA and lsa(E)-negative strains. The detection rates of resistance genes also showed similar trend. E. faecalis strains carrying both optrA and lsa(E) and strains carrying only optrA showed multiresistance to 8 and 10 antibiotics, accounting for 84.6% and 100.0%, respectively. E. faecalis strains carrying only lsa(E) and optrA and lsa(E)-negative strains were mainly resistant to 6-8 antibitoics, accounting for 84.6% and 100.0%, respectively. Further analysis showed that detection rates of optrA and lsa(E) genes were higher in the pig farms with high resistance degree. Screening of resistance genes showed that ermB, ermC, tet(K), tet(L), tet(M), aac(6')-Ie-aph(2")-Ia, and fex(A) genes were presented in the 193 E. faecalis strains. In general, the detection rates of resistance genes in E. faecalis strains carrying both optrA and lsa(E) and single optrA genes were higher than that in strains carrying single lsa(E) and optrA and lsa(E)-negative strains. The results of MLST and conjugation transfer experiments indicated that optrA/lsa(E)-producing E. faecalis strains were genetically complex and clonal and horizontal transfer co-existed in these pig farms. 【Conclusion】The high carriage rate of optrA and lsa(E) genes and the high level of drug resistance in E. faecalis in pig farms in Aksu region of Xinjiang indicated that antibiotic resistance was serious in this region, which could threaten not only pig industry, but also public health. Preventive and control actions should be taken immediately to prevent further deterioration of antibiotic resistance.
