Over the years, multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli has contributed to the development of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs), which evolved primarily from poultry in every corner of the world. The unregulated use of antibiotics commonly administered to poultry products to prevent any subclinical infections that lead to multidrug resistance (MDR) that is due to acquired bacteria resistance. The main aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence in Malaysia of multidrug-resistant, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E.coli from poultry country chicken and country eggs. In several states of Malaysia, fifty samples from country chicken and country chicken eggs were extracted randomly from chosen poultry. The sample was taken from May to June 2019. The samples were tested using traditional microbiological techniques for the presence of E. coli. Antibiotics susceptibility test using 5 forms of β-lactam antibiotics was used using the double-disk diffusion screening, and confirmation of the test is performed by a combination disk diffusion process to establish the strains generating the ESBL. Although, the phenotypic characterization of bla TEM and bla CTX-M ESBL was carried out using PCR and SDS methods. Twenty of the fifty samples collected were classified as E.coli (20/50), suggesting 40%. The results of the distribution of the β-lactamases genes were reported as bla TEM, bla CTX-M with results of 75% (3/4), and 100% (4/4), respectively. The findings indicate a high prevalence of multidrug resistance as the most prevalent of all ESBL genes in ESBL infections with CTX-M genes. Consequently, effective monitoring of MDR infections, in particular resistance to β-lactamases in poultry chicken, can predict the potential for ESBL infections in humans and animals.

AbstractThe proliferation of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa represent a major public health threat. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial resistance patterns of P. aeruginosa strains and characterized the ESBLs and Metallo- β-lactamases (MBL) produced. Strains of P. aeruginosa cultured from patients who attended Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital and other clinics in the four district municipalities of the Eastern Cape between August 2017 and May 2019 were identified; antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out against thirteen clinically relevant antibiotics using the BioMérieux VITEK 2 and confirmed by Beckman autoSCAN-4 System. Real-time PCR was done using Roche Light Cycler 2.0 to detect the presence of ESBLs; blaSHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes; and MBLs; blaIMP, blaVIM. Strains of P. aeruginosa demonstrated resistance to wide-ranging clinically relevant antibiotics including piperacillin (64.2%), followed by aztreonam (57.8%), cefepime (51.5%), ceftazidime (51.0%), piperacillin/tazobactam (50.5%), and imipenem (46.6%). A total of 75 (36.8%) multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains were observed of the total pool of isolates. The blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M was detected in 79.3%, 69.5% and 31.7% isolates (n = 82), respectively. The blaIMP was detected in 1.25% while no blaVIM was detected in any of the strains tested. The study showed a high rate of MDR P. aeruginosa in our setting. The vast majority of these resistant strains carried blaTEM and blaSHV genes. Continuous monitoring of antimicrobial resistance and strict compliance towards infection prevention and control practices are the best defence against spread of MDR P. aeruginosa.
