Encephalitozoon intestinalis and Enterocytozoon bieneusi can cause diarrhea in humans, especially severe diarrhea in immunocompromised patients. However, there have been few studies on Enc. intestinalis and Ent. bieneusi in patients with acute diarrhea in the Republic of Korea (ROK). In this study, fecal samples were collected from 1241 patients with acute diarrhea in 2020. Among these, 24 cases of Enc. intestinalis and one case of Ent. bieneusi were detected via PCR amplification of small subunit ribosomal RNA. Genotyping of the internal transcribed spacer region sequence revealed that the detected Ent. bieneusi genotype was in Group 1. This study provides the first evidence that Ent. bieneusi exists in humans in addition to animals in the ROK. To identify the causative agent, continuous monitoring of Enc. intestinalis and Ent. bieneusi is necessary for patients with acute diarrhea in the ROK.

ABSTRACTA total of 47 extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistantEscherichia colistrains isolated from stray dogs in 2006 and 2007 in the Republic of Korea were investigated using molecular methods. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamase phenotypes were identified in 12 and 23E. coliisolates, respectively. All 12 ESBL-producing isolates carriedblaCTX-Mgenes. The most common CTX-M types were CTX-M-14 (n= 5) and CTX-M-24 (n= 3). Isolates producing CTX-M-3, CTX-M-55, CTX-M-27, and CTX-M-65 were also identified. Twenty-one of 23 AmpC β-lactamase-producing isolates were found to carryblaCMY-2genes. TEM-1 was associated with CTX-M and CMY-2 β-lactamases in 4 and 15 isolates, respectively. In addition toblaTEM-1, two isolates carriedblaDHA-1, and one of them cocarriedblaCMY-2. Both CTX-M and CMY-2 genes were located on large (40 to 170 kb) conjugative plasmids that contained the insertion sequence ISEcp1upstream of theblagenes. Only in the case of CTX-M genes was there an IS903sequence downstream of the gene. The spread of ESBLs and AmpC β-lactamases occurred via both horizontal gene transfer, accounting for much of the CTX-M gene dissemination, and clonal spread, accounting for CMY-2 gene dissemination. The horizontal dissemination ofblaCTX-MandblaCMY-2genes was mediated by IncF and IncI1-Iγ plasmids, respectively. The clonal spread ofblaCMY-2was driven mainly byE. colistrains of virulent phylogroup D lineage ST648. To our knowledge, this is the first report ofblaDHA-1inE. colistrains isolated from companion animals. This study also represents the first report of CMY-2 β-lactamase-producingE. coliisolates from dogs in the Republic of Korea.
