Genotypic characterization of hospital Enterococcus faecalis strains using multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis

Aims:  The level of genetic diversity and relationships between the specific genotypes and the distribution of virulence determinants among Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from patients hospitalized in different wards of two hospitals were investigated.
Methods and Results:  Fifty-six clinical strains of E. faecalis , isolated from patients hospitalized in the period of 1999–2004 in several wards in Wrocław (Poland), were analysed by multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA). Analysis of seven genomic loci identified 40 novel genotypes among the analysed E. faecalis strains, with two major genomic groups, designated I and II, distinguished at a cut-off of 35%. With a similarity cut-off of 85·7%, the genotypes could be combined into 12 clusters (C1–C12), containing at least two isolates. The remaining 18 MLVA types were represented by a single isolate.
Conclusions:  Based on the data obtained by MLVA, it was found that (i) many E. faecalis isolates recovered from patients from the wards whose location allowed the potential transmission of micro-organisms, belonged to closely related MLVA types and (ii) possible relationships between specific E. faecalis genotype and the virulence factors lipase, haemolysin and esp gene can exist.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Our study confirms that MLVA is a suitable method for the epidemiological study of E. faecalis and for the first time shows possible relationships between specific genotypes and such virulence determinants, i.e. lipase, haemolysin and esp gene.     

The first molecular analysis of clinical isolates of VanA-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains in Mainland China

AIMS: The aim of this study was to examine two VanA-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) strains that had been isolated from patients resident in mainland China. This is the first molecular analysis of clinical VRE strains being isolated in mainland China. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two VanA-type VRE isolates were isolated from in-patients at hospitals located in the Chinese cities Beijing and Dalian and were designated C264 and I125. The plasmids pC264V (40 kbp) and pI125V (370 kbp) that were isolated from C264 and I125, respectively, carried a Tn1546-like element encoding VanA resistance. The vancomycin-resistant plasmids pC264V and pI125V were transferred by filter mating at frequencies of 10(-7) and 10(-4) respectively. Sequence analysis of pC264V revealed that two IS1216V sequences and an IS1542 sequence were present within the Tn1546-like element. pI125V had two IS1216V insertions in the Tn1546-like element. CONCLUSIONS: The two VanA-type vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VRE) strains C264 and I125 were isolated from in-patients in Chinese hospitals. The vancomycin-resistant conjugative plasmids pC264V and pI125V plasmids isolated from these strains carried the Tn1546-like element. The Tn1546-like element was found to contain the insertion sequences IS1216V and IS1542. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first molecular analysis of VanA-type VRE strains from patients resident in mainland China.     

Population structure and safety aspects of Enterococcus strains isolated from artisanal dry fermented sausages produced in Argentina

Enterococci population from Argentinean artisanal dry fermented sausage was identified and their safety aspects were evaluated. Species-specific PCR was used to distinguish between Enterococcus faecium (56%) and Enterococcus faecalis (17%). Other isolates (27%) were identified as Enterococcus durans , Enterococcus casseliflavus and Enterococcus mundtii by using 16S RNA gene sequence. RAPD analyses showed different biotypes for Ent. faecium and Ent. faecalis species. Low incidence of antibiotic resistance and high virulence traits in Ent. casseliflavus and Ent. faecalis were found; the majority of the Ent. faecium strains were shown to be free of virulence factors. The absence of virulence/resistance traits and the anti-Listeria activity of Ent. faecium isolates may be exploited to enhance natural preservation thereby guaranteeing organoleptic/safety characteristics of artisanal fermented sausages.     

Comparative study of vanA gene transfer from Enterococcus faecium to Enterococcus faecalis and to Enterococcus faecium in the intestine of mice

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci represent a large reservoir in animals because of the use of avoparcin as a growth promoter in Europe. These strains of animal origin enter the food chain and can either colonize the human gut or transfer their resistance genes to the human microbiota. In this study, we compared the transfer of vancomycin resistance from resistant animal Enterococcus faecium to sensitive human Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium. We analysed these transfers in dibiotic mice and human faecal flora-associated mice. VanA transfer from animal E. faecium to human E. faecalis occurred in dibiotic mice. The transconjugants appeared rapidly and persisted at levels between 3.0 and 4.0 log10 colony-forming units g(-1) of faeces. In human faecal flora-associated mice, vanA gene transfer was not detected towards E. faecalis but was possible between E. faecium strains. Our experiments revealed the possibility of vanA transfer from animal E. faecium to human E. faecalis in vitro and in vivo in the intestine of dibiotic mice. However, intraspecies transfer of vanA gene seems more common than interspecies transfer among enterococci.
