Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk Factors for Intestinal Colonization Due to Fluoroquinolone-Resistant ST131 Escherichia coli: a Longitudinal Study in Highly Dependent, Long-Term Care Facility Residents

Escherichia coli ST131 clade C is an important driver for fluoroquinolone resistance (FQ-R). We conducted a prospective observational study in residents from two long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Seville, Spain, in 2018. Fecal swabs and environmental samples were obtained. E. coli isolates were s...

description Escherichia coli ST131 clade C is an important driver for fluoroquinolone resistance (FQ-R). We conducted a prospective observational study in residents from two long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Seville, Spain, in 2018. Fecal swabs and environmental samples were obtained. E. coli isolates were screened for clade C, FQ-R ST131 by PCR, and molecular typing by PFGE; representatives from pulsotypes were studied by whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) and assigned to lineages (cgSTs). Prevalence of colonization at each time point, incidence density, and risk factors for acquisition were studied. Seventy-six FQ-R ST131 E. coli isolates belonging to 34 cgSTs were obtained; 24 belonging to subclade C1 (116 isolates, 65.9%) and 10 to C2 (60, 34.1%). C1 lineages showed lower virulence scores than C2 (median [IQR], 19 [18 to 20] versus 21 [20 to 21.5], P = 0.001) and higher number of plasmids (4 [3 to 5] versus 2 [2 to 3], P = 0.01). aac(6’)-Ib-cr and bla(OXA-1) were less frequent in C1 than C2 (2 [8.3%] versus 6 [60%], P = 0.003 for both); ESBL genes were detected in eight (33.3%) C1 (5 bla(CTX-M-27)) and three (30%) C2 (all bla(CTX-M-15)). Of the 82 residents studied, 49 were colonized at some point (59.7%), with a pooled prevalence of 38.6%. Incidence density of new lineage acquisition was 2.22 per 100 resident weeks (1.28 and 0.93 C1 and C2 subclades, respectively). Independent risk factors for acquisitions were having a colonized roommate (HR = 4.21; 95% CI = 1.71 to 10.36; P = 0.002) and urinary or fecal incontinence (HR = 2.82; 95% CI = 1.21 to 6.56; P = 0.01). LTCFs are important reservoirs of clade C ST131 E. coli. The risk factors found suggest that cross-transmission is the most relevant transmission mechanisms. IMPORTANCE We aimed at investigating the microbiological and epidemiological features of clade C fluoroquinolone-resistant ST131 E. coli isolates colonizing highly dependent residents in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) during 40 weeks and the risk factors of acquisition. Isolates from C1 and C2 subclades were characterized in this environment. The clonality of the isolates was characterized and they were assigned to lineages (cgSTs), Resistance genes, virulence factors, and plasmids were also described. This study suggests that cross-transmission is the most relevant transmission mechanisms; however, environmental colonization might also play a role. We believe the data provide useful information to depict the epidemiology of these bacteria by merging detailed microbiological and epidemiological information.
