Abstract

Antimicrobial resistant bacteria has recently emerged and been disseminated in livestock environments because of excessive use of antimicrobial agents for the therapeutic and growth promotion purposes to food animals. In particular, there is potential for multidrug-resistant bacteria that can be transmitted from animals to mankind. In this study, we investigated the genotypes of E. coli strains isolated from humans and chickens using multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) and antimicrobial resistance patterns by disk diffusion method along with integron study involving antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. From July 2013 to July 2014, E. coli strains isolated from clinical specimens (n=44) and poultry chickens (n=34). ST131 (n=20) was most common in human-derived E. coli. ST752 (n=7) was most common in chicken-derived E. coli, with four isolates each for ST117, ST189, and ST69. Of the 44 E. coli strains isolated from humans, 25 of had a class 1 integron, as opposed to only 11 of 34 strains in the E. coli isolated from chickens. There were differences in genotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns between the chicken-derived and the human-derived E. coli.

최근 항균제의 광범위한 사용으로 인한 항균제 내성세균의 출현과 확산이 축산환경에서 빈번하게 일어나고 있고 이렇게 출현한 다제 내성세균은 사람에게 직접 전파될 수 있어 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 2013년 7월부터 2014년 7월까지 충청지역의 임상검체(n=44) 및 양계농장의 닭(n=34)에서 분리된 78주의 대장균을 대상으로 이루어졌다. PCR과 염기서열 분석을 통하여 MLST 분석과 class 1 integron의 유전형을 분석하였다. 항균제 감수성 검사는 디스크 확산법으로 시행하였다. 사람 유래 대장균의 경우 ST131 (n=20)과 ST38 (n=15)이 가장 많았고 닭 유래 대장균은 ST752 (n=7)이 가장 많았으며 ST117, ST189, ST69는 각각 4주였다. 사람에서 유래한 대장균은 총 44주 중 25주가 class 1 integron을 가지고 있었다. 반면 닭에서 유래한 대장균은 총 34주 중 11주가 class 1 integron을 가지고 있었다. 충청지역에 분포되어있는 사람 유래 대장균과 닭 유래 대장균의 유전형 및 항균제 내성 패턴에 차이를 보였다.
