The Pandemic H30 Subclone of Sequence Type 131 (ST131) as the Leading Cause of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Infections in the United States (2011–2012)
BACKGROUND Extraintestinal Escherichia coli infections are increasingly challenging due to emerging antimicrobial resistance, including resistance to extended-spectrum beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones. Sequence type 131 (ST131) is a leading contributor. METHODS Three hundred sixty E. coli clinical isolates from across the United States (2011-2012), selected randomly from the SENTRY collectio...
متن کاملEscherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) subclone H30 as an emergent multidrug-resistant pathogen among US veterans.
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131), typically fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQ-R) and/or extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, has emerged globally. We assessed its prevalence and characteristics among US veterans. METHODS In 2011, 595 de-identified E. coli clinical isolates were collected systematically within 3 resistance groups (FQ-susceptible [FQ-S], FQ-R, and ES...
متن کاملSeparate F-Type Plasmids Have Shaped the Evolution of the H30 Subclone of Escherichia coli Sequence Type 131
The extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) H30 subclone of sequence type 131 (ST131-H30) has emerged abruptly as a dominant lineage of ExPEC responsible for human disease. The ST131-H30 lineage has been well described phylogenetically, yet its plasmid complement is not fully understood. Here, single-molecule, real-time sequencing was used to generate the complete plasmid sequences ...
متن کاملPredominance of the fimH30 subclone among multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains belonging to sequence type 131 in Italy.
TO THE EDITOR—We read with interest the article by Johnson et al, which demonstrates that, in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance is currently associated with the rapid expansion of a single dominant multidrug-resistant (MDR) strain that emerged within sequence type (ST) 131 [1]. Although the strong predominance of the ST131 clone has been well d...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of the Epidemic and Highly Virulent CTX-M-15-Producing H30-Rx Subclone of Escherichia coli ST131
We report the complete genome sequence, including five complete plasmid sequences, of Escherichia coli ST131 isolate JJ1886. The isolate was obtained in 2007 in the United States from a patient with fatal urosepsis and belongs to the virulent, CTX-M-15-producing H30-Rx sublineage.
