Epidemiologic Typing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Neonate Intensive Care Units Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis

To elucidate the mode of dissemination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in neonate intensive care units (NICUs), a total of 223 isolates from 3 separate hospitals were investigated between 1994 and 1996 by a DNA fingerprinting technique with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Exoprotein profiles of some strains were also examined using SDS-polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the assessment of enzyme/toxin production such as coagulase, enterotoxin and TSST-1. Judging from the strain typing data from PFGE results and the epidemiological data, 2 different types of PFGE patterns (A and B) and their subtypes (A′, A″ and B′) were identified. The A type including A′ and A″ (comprising approximately 95% of the isolates) was markedly dominant. Only 5% of the isolates belonged to type B and subtype B′. On the other hand, MRSA isolated from adult patients admitted to the same hospital showed many different PFGE patterns. The results strongly suggested that some strain(s) with specific PFGE pattern(s) is prevalent in NICUs. Furthermore, isolates which expressed the same PFGE pattern did not always express the same SDS-PAGE pattern. There were some isolates with different abilities to produce coagulase, enterotoxin C and toxic-shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1, and the abilities had no relation with a particular type of PFGE pattern. Therefore, a combination of PFGE analysis and biochemical analyses of coagulase, enterotoxin C and TSST-1 may provide us with more detailed information for the epidemiological study of MRSA in NICUs.     

Salmonella enterica serotype Bredeney: antimicrobial susceptibility and molecular diversity of isolates from Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Salmonella enterica serotype Bredeney has emerged as the third most commonly identified serotype among human clinical isolates referred to the Irish National Salmonella Reference Laboratory in the years 1998 to 2000. A collection of 112 isolates of S. enterica serotype Bredeney collected during the period 1995 to 1999 from animal, food, and human sources from both Ireland and Northern Ireland were studied. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) were performed on all isolates. Plasmid profiles were examined on a subset of 33 isolates. A high proportion (74%) of isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobial agents tested. Resistance to both sulfonamide and trimethoprim was observed in 21% of isolates, and resistance to multiple (five) antimicrobial agents was observed in a single isolate (0.9%). Eight different PFGE patterns were obtained, with 87% of isolates grouping as PFGE type A. PFGE type A was predominant in animals, food, and humans. There was good overall concordance between the groups identified by PFGE and DAF. Overall results indicate that most S. enterica serotype Bredeney isolates in Ireland and Northern Ireland from animal and human sources are clonally related.     

Combined Use of Bacteriophage Typing and Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis in the Epidemiological Analysis of Japanese Isolates of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7

A total of 236 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolates in Japan were investigated by bacteriophage typing, and the results were compared with those of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Seven phage types (PTs) were observed in 71 isolates which were derived from 22 outbreaks. All of the isolates from ten outbreaks in the Kinki region (midwestern part of Japan) in July-August 1996 were grouped into the same PFGE type (IIa) and PT 32, while among total isolates, there were such varieties as PFGE type IIa containing five phage types and PT32 containing two PFGE types. These results suggest that the ten outbreaks should be considered to be a single outbreak, and show that the combined use of bacteriophage typing and PFGE enhances reliability in epidemiological surveys.     

Phage types and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salmonella enterica</Emphasis> serovar Enteritidis isolated from humans and chickens

We analyzed 66 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates in 2002. Thirty isolates were obtained from human patients with diarrhea, and 36 were obtained from chickens. A total of ten phage types (PT) were identified in the human and chicken isolates. PT1 and PT21 were the predominant PTs in both the human (20% and 13%) and chicken (17% and 47%) isolates. Twelve pulsotypes were generated by PFGE and divided into two major groups. Most of the PFGE types were categorized into cluster group 1. Eighteen chicken isolates in cluster group 1 showed high-level genetic association (>95%) with 22 other human isolates. Additionally, six chicken isolates from cluster group 2 showed fairly high-level genetic association (>95%) with the other seven human isolates. The highest levels of genetic association in humans and chickens were seen with A5-PT21 (11 isolates), A2-PT1 (7 isolates), and B1-PT4 (6 isolates). The Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) and phage typing provided conclusive evidence that human Salmonella infections are attributable to the consumption of contaminated chicken.     

Genotyping of Campylobacter spp. from retail meats by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and ribotyping

AIMS: To determine the genetic relatedness of Campylobacter spp. from retail meat products, and compare the discriminatory power of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and automatic ribotyping. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 378 Campylobacter isolates recovered from 159 raw meats (130 chicken, 25 turkey, three pork and one beef) sampled from 50 retail grocery stores of four supermarket chains in the Maryland suburban area from August 1999 to July 2000 were analysed by PFGE with SmaI, 120 isolates of which were also characterized by ribotyping with PstI using RiboPrinter system. A total of 148 unique PFGE patterns were identified, 91 of which were present in multiple Campylobacter isolates and 24 in multiple meat samples. Nineteen Campylobacter clones with identical PFGE patterns recurred frequently (up to nine times) throughout the sampling period. Comparing ribotyping with PFGE, we identified 44 PFGE patterns and 22 RiboGroups among the 120 isolates tested. Multiple PFGE patterns within one RiboGroup were commonly observed, as well as multiple RiboGroups within one PFGE pattern. CONCLUSIONS: Although Campylobacter present in retail meats were genetically diverse, certain clones persisted in poultry meats. PFGE had a greater discriminatory power than ribotyping, and the two methods were complementary in genotyping Campylobacter. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Genomic DNA fingerprinting of Campylobacter confirmed diverse and recurrent Campylobacter clones in the retail meats, which provides additional data for a better understanding of the epidemiological aspect of Campylobacter infection.     

Salmonella enterica Serotype Bredeney: Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Molecular Diversity of Isolates from Ireland and Northern Ireland

Salmonella enterica serotype Bredeney has emerged as the third most commonly identified serotype among human clinical isolates referred to the Irish National Salmonella Reference Laboratory in the years 1998 to 2000. A collection of 112 isolates of S. enterica serotype Bredeney collected during the period 1995 to 1999 from animal, food, and human sources from both Ireland and Northern Ireland were studied. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) were performed on all isolates. Plasmid profiles were examined on a subset of 33 isolates. A high proportion (74%) of isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobial agents tested. Resistance to both sulfonamide and trimethoprim was observed in 21% of isolates, and resistance to multiple (five) antimicrobial agents was observed in a single isolate (0.9%). Eight different PFGE patterns were obtained, with 87% of isolates grouping as PFGE type A. PFGE type A was predominant in animals, food, and humans. There was good overall concordance between the groups identified by PFGE and DAF. Overall results indicate that most S. enterica serotype Bredeney isolates in Ireland and Northern Ireland from animal and human sources are clonally related.     

Characterization of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from food animal clinical cases: PFGE pattern similarity to strains from human listeriosis cases

Twenty-one isolates of Listeria monocytogenes from food animal clinical cases that involved meningitis or meningoencephalitis, encephalitis, mastitis and abortion were characterized by serotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in order to improve our understanding of the genetic links between individual strains and strains recovered from human listeriosis cases. Results showed that five of the isolates were serotype 1/2a, six were 1/2b, nine were 4b, and one was untypeable. A caprine, two bovine and an ovine brain isolate shared identical PFGE patterns indicating that strains of L. monocytogenes are not host specific. Other isolates exhibited distinct patterns that were not shared, indicating a genetic diversity. Dendrogram analysis revealed that PFGE patterns of the isolates clustered primarily according to serotype. We compared the PFGE types obtained for these isolates with PFGE types for human clinical isolates present in the CDC national PulseNet database. Six (29%) of the twenty-one strains had patterns that were indistinguishable from pathogenic human isolates in the database. Our observations offer preliminary evidence that food animals could be significant reservoirs of L. monocytogenes that lead to human infections and support the inclusion of PFGE patterns of veterinary clinical isolates in the national PulseNet database for increased surveillance.     

Genetic variation among Staphylococcus aureus strains from Norwegian bulk milk

Strains of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from bovine (n = 117) and caprine (n = 114) bulk milk were characterized and compared with S. aureus strains from raw-milk products (n = 27), bovine mastitis specimens (n = 9), and human blood cultures (n = 39). All isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). In addition, subsets of isolates were characterized using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), multiplex PCR (m-PCR) for genes encoding nine of the staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE), and the cloverleaf method for penicillin resistance. A variety of genotypes were observed, and greater genetic diversity was found among bovine than caprine bulk milk isolates. Certain genotypes, with a wide geographic distribution, were common to bovine and caprine bulk milk and may represent ruminant-specialized S. aureus. Isolates with genotypes indistinguishable from those of strains from ruminant mastitis were frequently found in bulk milk, and strains with genotypes indistinguishable from those from bulk milk were observed in raw-milk products. This indicates that S. aureus from infected udders may contaminate bulk milk and, subsequently, raw-milk products. Human blood culture isolates were diverse and differed from isolates from other sources. Genotyping by PFGE, MLST, and m-PCR for SE genes largely corresponded. In general, isolates with indistinguishable PFGE banding patterns had the same SE gene profile and isolates with identical SE gene profiles were placed together in PFGE clusters. Phylogenetic analyses agreed with the division of MLST sequence types into clonal complexes, and isolates within the same clonal complex had the same SE gene profile. Furthermore, isolates within PFGE clusters generally belonged to the same clonal complex.     

Genetic diversity of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A from different geographical regions in Asia

AIMS: Subtyping of Salmonella Paratyphi A isolates from India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia was carried out by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to assess the extent of genetic diversity of these isolates from different endemic countries. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 39 human isolates of Salmonella Paratyphi A from Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Malaysia were studied using PFGE analysis following digestion of chromosomal DNA with XbaI. Seven isolates from Pakistan were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline and cotrimoxazole. It was noted that Salmonella Paratyphi A isolates obtained from outbreaks in India had limited genetic diversity and probably belonged to closely related clones. Significant genetic homogeneity was observed among antimicrobial-resistant isolates from Pakistan and antimicrobial-sensitive isolates from Pakistan and Indonesia, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: PFGE was a useful subtyping technique to differentiate Salmonella Paratyphi A from different endemic countries. However, it fails to differentiate the antimicrobial-resistant and -sensitive strains. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The findings of the present study verify the usefulness of PFGE in characterizing and comparing strains of Salmonella Paratyphi A. Our study suggests that a limited number of clones are responsible for paratyphoid fever in these countries.
