Infectivity and resistance to antibiotics of uropathogenic gram-negative rods

The nature of bacterial isolates from children with clinically suspected urinary tract infections (UTI) was studied. The susceptibility of urinary pathogens to selected antibiotics was determined. The results clearly show that E. coli was identified as the main causative agent of UTI children (67% of isolates). The second commonest pathogen was P. mirabilis (10%). Over half E. coli isolates were resistant to amino-penicilins but almost all isolates (over 80%) were sensitive to antimicrobial agents combined with beta-lactamase inhibitors. We found significantly high percentage (32.5%) of ESBL strains among K. pneumoniae isolates.

目的:探讨糖尿病合并尿路感染患者尿液降钙素原(PCT)水平及其临床意义。方法:选取2017年8月至2018年12月中山大学附属第五医院内分泌与代谢病科收治的糖尿病患者78例,以其中合并真性细菌尿者39例作为观察组,未合并尿路感染39例作为对照组,比较两组患者的临床资料以及相关实验室检查结果,同时留取尿液标本,观察组分别留取使用抗生素治疗前、后的尿液标本。采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测尿液PCT浓度。分别比较观察组与对照组以及观察组治疗前后的尿液PCT水平,分析尿液PCT水平对于诊断糖尿病合并尿路感染的临床价值。结果:观察组尿液PCT水平为0.030 (0.025,0.039) ng/m L,明显高于对照组0.017 (0.011,0.021) ng/m L(P0.05);观察组有症状尿路感染与无症状细菌尿(ABU)的尿液PCT水平比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05),但其均显著高于对照组(P0.05);观察组使用抗生素治疗后的尿液PCT水平为0.031 (0.025,0.040) ng/mL,与治疗前相比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。尿液PCT对糖尿病合并尿路感染诊断的敏感度为82.05%,特异度为79.49%,阳性预测值为80.00%,阴性预测值81.58%,ROC曲线下面积为0.81 (95%CI为0.71-0.89, P0.0001)。结论:尿液PCT水平对糖尿病合并尿路感染有一定的诊断参考价值,但对于抗生素疗效的评估价值还需进一步深入研究。     

Change in antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli urinary tract isolates at a single institution over a period of 10 years

Urinary tract infections are common. Few published studies have demonstrated the change in Escherichia coli urinary isolate antimicrobial susceptibility over time within a given area and (or) population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in susceptibility of E. coli clinical isolates obtained from urine specimens at a single institution over a period of 10 years. The microbiology laboratory information system at St. Boniface Hospital (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) was searched retrospectively from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2009, for all E. coli isolates from either a midstream or catheter urine source that had susceptibility testing performed. Only one isolate per patient was included during the entire study period. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out with either a Microscan instrument (pre-April 2004) or a Vitek instrument (May 2004 onwards). In total, 7353 E. coli urinary isolates were included for evaluation. Ciprofloxacin susceptibility declined significantly, from 99% in 2000 to 85% in 2009 (p < 0.0001). A small but statistically significant decline in susceptibility was also observed for ampicillin, cefazolin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, and nitrofurantoin. These data suggest that certain antimicrobials recommended for the treatment of urinary tract infections (ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) may no longer be optimal.     

Comparison of genomic profiles of Escherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infections

Formally included in the larger category of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), the uropathogenic E. coli remains the most frequent cause of urinary tract infection (UTI), an important endemic health problem. The genomic DNA of E. coli urinary isolates from adults diagnosed with urinary tract infections and of E. coli fecal isolates from healthy subjects was analysed by PCR for the presence of virulence factor encoding genes pap, sfa/foc, afa, hly and cnf and by field inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE) fingerprinting of XbaI DNA macrorestriction fragments. The aim was to obtain more detailed microbiological data regarding the community circulating strains in respect of their virulence potential and genetic relatedness. Almost 70% of the urinary strains carried at least one of the target virulence genes, and only 35.5% of the fecal E. coli strains were positive in the PCR screening. Taking into account the virulence genotypes exhibited, a part of the strains isolated from the urinary tract could be defined as belonging to the ExPEC pathotype. A unique FIGE profile was obtained for each of the selected isolates and the dendrogram generated by Taxotron software package analysis suggested a polyclonal population of potential uropathogenic strains clustered into 14 groups of only 60% similarity. For better understanding the epidemiology of UTIs, diseases commonly caused by such a heterogeneous species like E. coli, molecular analysis methods could be essential due to their increased power of identification and fingerprinting.     

Occurrence and antibiotic sensitivity of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from a group of Jordanian patients with community acquired urinary tract infections

The type and antibiotic sensitivity of urinary tract pathogens may differ in various communities. Of 207 isolates recovered from midstream urine specimens collected from a group of patients with community acquired urinary tract infections (UTI), 86% were species of Enterobacteriaceae. The most frequently recovered pathogens were Escherichia coli (82%), Klebsiella spp. (7.3%), Proteus spp. (6.2%), Enterobacter spp. (3.4%) and Citrobacter spp. (1.1%). High rates of resistance were found against ampicillin (95%), tetracycline (86%), carbenicillin (84%), trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (48%), and amoxycillin/clavulanic acid (45%). For the antibiotics tobramycin, aztreonam, ceftriaxone and gentamicin 7% of the isolates were resistant, while resistance varied from 9-18% for amikacin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, nalidixic acid and cefuroxime. The incidence of UTI caused by Enterobacteriaceae was three times higher in females than in males, particularly in young and middle age groups (< or = 19 and 20-39 years).     

Glycosylation changes as important factors for the susceptibility to urinary tract infection

FimH is the type?1 fimbrial tip adhesin and invasin of Escherichia coli. Its ligands are the glycans on specific proteins enriched in membrane microdomains. FimH binding shows high-affinity recognition of paucimannosidic glycans, which are shortened high-mannose glycans such as oligomannose-3 and -5. FimH can recognize equally the (single) high-mannose glycan on uroplakin Ia, on the urinary defence protein uromodulin or Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein and on the intestinal GP2 glycoprotein present in Peyer's patches. E. coli bacteria may attach to epithelial cells via hundreds of fimbriae in a multivalent fashion. This binding is considered to provoke conformational changes in the glycoprotein receptor that translate into signalling in the cytoplasm of the infected epithelial cell. Bladder cell invasion by the uropathogenic bacterium is the prelude to recurrent and persistent urinary tract infections in humans. Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus are more prone to contract urinary tract infections. In a study of women, despite longer treatments with a more potent antibiotic, these patients also have more often recurrences of urinary tract infections compared with women without diabetes. Type?1 fimbriae are the most important virulence factors used not only for adhesion of E. coli in the urinary tract, but also for the colonization by E. coli in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It appears that the increased prevalence of urinary tract infections in diabetic women is not the result of a difference in the bacteria, but is due to changes in the uroepithelial cells leading to an increased adherence of E. coli expressing type?1 fimbriae. Hypothetically, these changes are in the glycosylation of the infected cells. The present article focuses on possible underlying mechanisms for glycosylation changes in the uroepithelial cell receptors for FimH. Like diabetes, bacterial adhesion induces apoptosis that may bring the endoplasmic reticulum membrane with immature mannosylated glycoproteins to the surface. Indicatively, clathrin-mediated vesicle trafficking of glucose transporters is disturbed in diabetics, which would interfere further with the biosynthesis and localization of complex N-linked glycans.     

Autotransporter-encoding sequences are phylogenetically distributed among Escherichia coli clinical isolates and reference strains

Autotransporters are secreted bacterial proteins exhibiting diverse virulence functions. Various autotransporters have been identified among Escherichia coli associated with intestinal or extraintestinal infections; however, the specific distribution of autotransporter sequences among a diversity of E. coli strains has not been investigated. We have validated the use of a multiplex PCR assay to screen for the presence of autotransporter sequences. Herein, we determined the presence of 13 autotransporter sequences and five allelic variants of antigen 43 (Ag43) among 491 E. coli isolates from human urinary tract infections, diarrheagenic E. coli, and avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) and E. coli reference strains belonging to the ECOR collection. Clinical isolates were also classified into established phylogenetic groups. The results indicated that Ag43 alleles were significantly associated with clinical isolates (93%) compared to commensal isolates (56%) and that agn43K12 was the most common and widely distributed allele. agn43 allelic variants were also phylogenetically distributed. Sequences encoding espC, espP, and sepA and agn43 alleles EDL933 and RS218 were significantly associated with diarrheagenic E. coli strains compared to other groups. tsh was highly associated with APEC strains, whereas sat was absent from APEC. vat, sat, and pic were associated with urinary tract isolates and were identified predominantly in isolates belonging to either group B2 or D of the phylogenetic groups based on the ECOR strain collection. Overall, the results indicate that specific autotransporter sequences are associated with the source and/or phylogenetic background of strains and suggest that, in some cases, autotransporter gene profiles may be useful for comparative analysis of E. coli strains from clinical, food, and environmental sources.

The role of cytotoxic necrotizing factor-1 in colonization and tissue injury in a murine model of urinary tract infection

Cytotoxic necrotizing factor-1 (CNF1) is commonly found in Escherichia coli isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI). To determine whether CNF1 is an important UTI virulence factor we compared the ability of a clinical E. coli UTI isolate and a CNF1-negative mutant of that isolate to colonize and induce histological changes in the urinary tract in a murine model of ascending UTI. We found no evidence that the mutant strain was attenuated.     

Correlation of genes in the pap gene cluster to expression of globoside-specific adhesin by uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Abstract Expression of globoside-specific pilus adhesin of Escherichia coli is the virulence factor most commonly associated with pyelonephritis. In the clinical isolate J96 (O4:K6:H5) expression of globoside binding pili require the proteins encoded by the papE, papF , and papG genes in the pap gene cluster. Probes derived from these genes were used in dot blot hybridization analysis of E. coli urinary tract isolates obtained from patients with significant bacteriuria. Fecal E. coli isolates from healthy individuals were also analyzed. The probe encompassing the papF and papF J96 genes hybridized to all urinary tract infectious (UTI) isolates expressing globoside-specific adhesin, whereas papG J96 only hybridized to the strain from which the fragment was cloned. In contrast, a papG -specific probe from the O:6 strain IA2 hybridized to all but one of the UTI isolates that expressed the adhesin. In both materials, but especially among the fecal isolates, strains were found that hybridized to the probes but did not express the adhesin. The data shows that papEF -specific DNA can be used for the diagnosis of potentially pyelonephritic E. coli .     

Resistance of urinary tract infection pathogens and choice of antibacterial therapy in pediatric urologic practice]

The data on antibiotic resistance of the main uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection in an urologic department (319 isolates) and outpatient and diagnostic units (360 isolates) are presented. It was shown that by the antibiotic resistance the Escherichia coli isolates from the urologic department patients and outpatients did not practically differ: 44.1 and 47.8% of the isolates were resistant to ampicillin, 26.7 and 23.4% were resistant to amoxycillin/clavulanate, 28.9 and 24.9% were resistant to co-trimoxazole and 26.5% was resistance to cefuroxime (outpatients). The basic differences referred to Pseudomonas aeruginosa: resistance to ceftazidime in 38.5% of the isolates and resistance to gentamicin in 36.2% of the isolates. The activity against P. aeruginosa could be arranged as follows in the decreasing order: amikacin = meropenem > imipenem > cefepime = cefoperazone/sulbactam > gentamicin = ceftazidime. Resistance of P. aeruginosa to fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) remained low (7.4 and 8.0% respectively). No ampicillin resistance was revealed in the isolates of Enterococcus faecalis.

Bacterial profile and drug susceptibility pattern of urinary tract infection in pregnant women at University of Gondar Teaching Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common health problem among pregnant women. Proper investigation and prompt treatment are needed to prevent serious life threatening condition and morbidity due to urinary tract infection that can occur in pregnant women. Recent report in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia indicated the prevalence of UTI in pregnant women was 11.6 % and Gram negative bacteria was the predominant isolates and showed multi drug resistance. This study aimed to assess bacterial profile that causes urinary tract infection and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among pregnant women visiting antenatal clinic at University of Gondar Teaching Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted at University of Gondar Teaching Hospital from March 22 to April 30, 2011. Mid stream urine samples were collected and inoculated into Cystine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient medium (CLED). Colony counts yielding bacterial growth of 105/ml of urine or more of pure isolates were regarded as significant bacteriuria for infection. Colony from CLED was sub cultured onto MacConkey agar and blood agar plates. Identification was done using cultural characteristics and a series of biochemical tests. A standard method of agar disc diffusion susceptibility testing method was used to determine susceptibility patterns of the isolates. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of UTI in pregnant women was 10.4 %. The predominant bacterial pathogens were Escherichia coli 47.5 % followed by coagulase-negative staphylococci 22.5 %, Staphylococcus aureus 10 %, and Klebsiella pneumoniae 10 %. Gram negative isolates were resulted low susceptibility to co-trimoxazole (51.9 %) and tetracycline (40.7 %) whereas Gram positive showed susceptibility to ceftriaxon (84.6 %) and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (92.3 %). Multiple drug resistance (resistance to two or more drugs) was observed in 95 % of the isolates. CONCLUSION: Significant bacteriuria was observed in asymptomatic pregnant women. Periodic studies are recommended to check the outcome of asymptomatic bacteriuria and also monitor any changes in the susceptibility patterns of urinary tract pathogens in pregnant women.     

Antibiotic susceptibility and genotype patterns of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from urinary tract infected patients

Thirty nine isolates of Escherichia coli, twenty two isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and sixteen isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from urinary tract infected patients were analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility typing and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out by microdilution and E Test methods. From the antibiotic susceptibility, ten patterns were recorded (four for E. coli, three for K. pneumoniae and three for P. aeruginosa respectively). Furthermore, genotyping showed seventeen RAPD patterns (seven for E. coli, five for K. pneumoniae and five for P. aeruginosa respectively). In this study, differentiation of strains of E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa from nosocomial infection was possible with the use of RAPD.     

Insights into a multidrug resistant Escherichia coli pathogen of the globally disseminated ST131 lineage: genome analysis and virulence mechanisms

Escherichia coli strains causing urinary tract infection (UTI) are increasingly recognized as belonging to specific clones. E. coli clone O25b:H4-ST131 has recently emerged globally as a leading multi-drug resistant pathogen causing urinary tract and bloodstream infections in hospitals and the community. While most molecular studies to date examine the mechanisms conferring multi-drug resistance in E. coli ST131, relatively little is known about their virulence potential. Here we examined E. coli ST131 clinical isolates from two geographically diverse collections, one representing the major pathogenic lineages causing UTI across the United Kingdom and a second representing UTI isolates from patients presenting at two large hospitals in Australia. We determined a draft genome sequence for one representative isolate, E. coli EC958, which produced CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum β-lactamase, CMY-23 type AmpC cephalosporinase and was resistant to ciprofloxacin. Comparative genome analysis indicated that EC958 encodes virulence genes commonly associated with uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). The genome sequence of EC958 revealed a transposon insertion in the fimB gene encoding the activator of type 1 fimbriae, an important UPEC bladder colonization factor. We identified the same fimB transposon insertion in 59% of the ST131 UK isolates, as well as 71% of ST131 isolates from Australia, suggesting this mutation is common among E. coli ST131 strains. Insertional inactivation of fimB resulted in a phenotype resembling a slower off-to-on switching for type 1 fimbriae. Type 1 fimbriae expression could still be induced in fimB-null isolates; this correlated strongly with adherence to and invasion of human bladder cells and bladder colonisation in a mouse UTI model. We conclude that E. coli ST131 is a geographically widespread, antibiotic resistant clone that has the capacity to produce numerous virulence factors associated with UTI.     

Bacteria recovered without subculture from infected human urines expressed iron-regulated outer membrane proteins

Abstract Twelve enteric bacterial strains were recovered by differential centrifugation of urines which were collected from clinically diagnosed and microbiologically confirmed cases of urinary tract infection. The outer membrane protein (OMP) profiles of the clinical isolates were then analysed by sodiumdodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). It was found that 5 of the 12 isolates (3 Escherichia coli strains, 1 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1 Proteus mirabilis strain) expressed 2 or more high M _r proteins in the range of 66000 to 85000. These high M _r proteins were expressed by the same organisms during growth in vitro in iron-restricted conditions but not in iron-sufficient media.
In addition, it was found that the major outer membrane proteins expressed by the clinical isolates varied considerably and that, in many cases, fresh isolates expressed fewer porin proteins than the same bacterial strains after growth in vitro in trypticase soy broth. This is thus the first evidence the E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis grow under iron-restricted conditions in the urinary tract of humans and that the outer membrane protein profile of clinical isolates differ from in vitro grown bacteria.     

Polymorphic mutation frequencies in Escherichia coli: emergence of weak mutators in clinical isolates

Polymorphisms in the rifampin resistance mutation frequency (f) were studied in 696 Escherichia coli strains from Spain, Sweden, and Denmark. Of the 696 strains, 23% were weakly hypermutable (4 x 10(-8) < or = f < 4 x 10(-7)), and 0.7% were strongly hypermutable (f > or = 4 x 10(-7)). Weak mutators were apparently more frequent in southern Europe and in blood isolates (38%) than in urinary tract isolates (25%) and feces of healthy volunteers (11%).     

Distribution of papG alleles among uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from different species

The distribution of alleles I, II and III of the P adhesin gene papG among Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections in humans, dogs and cats was studied by PCR. Allele I was present in 6% and 5% of the human and cat isolates. Allele II as such was present in 30% and 22%, or in association with allele III in 12% and 2% of the human and canine isolates, respectively. Allele III was present in 33% of the human strains and predominated largely over allele II in E. coli isolates from cystitis of animal origin (72% in dog and 95% in cat strains). The three different classes of the PapG adhesin have been suggested to play a role in host specificity, for example human versus canine specificity. Recent studies, however, showed papG III positive human and dog cystitis isolates to be largely indistinguishable. We found the Class II allele in animal isolates and detected for the first time in Europe the Class I allele in a different genetic background than the J96-like clonal group. Our findings show that uropathogenic E. coli isolates from different species can have the same papG alleles and thus may have zoonotic potential.     

Bacteriophage Typing as an Epidemiological Tool for Urinary Escherichia coli

Phage typing was used to identify strains of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary and nonurinary sources. When eight phages isolated in Pennsylvania were used to type 717 cultures from Missouri, 50.3% of 624 urinary isolates and 34.4% of 93 nonurinary isolates were typable. Strains from nonurinary sources were not found commonly in urine. When five additional phages isolated in Missouri were added to the original set of eight phages, 80.4% of 331 urinary isolates were typable. When this set of phages was used to type 552 urinary cultures isolated in California, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, 82.0% of the cultures were typable. Some common phage types were found in high incidence among cultures from the different regions. No correlation was found between phage type and the pattern of resistance to antibiotics. Phage typing data were presented also on the number of strains in individual urine specimens and the recurrences of strains in patients with chronic bacteriuria. Of 97 fecal isolates, 75.2% of the cultures were typable, and the most common phage type was observed in high incidence among the urinary isolates from this region. When 75 cultures from nine other genera of enteric bacteria were typed, only the shigellae were lysed. In view of the information obtained by phage typing and the ease and speed with which it can be done, it is suggested that phage typing be considered a new tool in epidemiological studies of urinary tract infections by E. coli.
