Genetic and phenotypic analyses of mcr-harboring extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from companion dogs and cats in Japan

Mayo Yasugi, Shingo Hatoya, Daisuke Motooka, Daisuke Kondo, Hideo Akiyoshi, Masayuki Horie, Shota Nakamura, Terumasa Shimada

Summary: The presence of mcr plasmid-mediated colistin-resistant ESBL-producing Enterobacterales in companion dogs and cats in Japan was identified. The isolates from a dog and a cat carried different mcr genes and bla genes on plasmids. This suggests that companion dogs and cats may serve as important reservoirs for cross-species transmission of the mcr gene.

Detection of mcr-1-harbouring Escherichia coli by quantum dot labelling of synthetic small peptides mimicking lipopolysaccharide receptors

Chenghao Wang, Biao Tang, Jiusheng Wu, Xi Jin, Shuwen Ke, Hua Yang, Yuehuan Liu

Summary: The overuse of antibiotics and the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria have led to colistin being the last resort against complex infections. In this study, two small peptide antibodies were developed for immunofluorescence detection of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli. These antibodies showed desired sensitivity, specificity, precision, and repeatability, providing a standardized detection process. In addition to PCR, these fluorescent antibodies can be used for immunofluorescent detection of mcr-1-harbouring E. coli.

Genomic characterization of conjugative plasmids carrying the mcr-1 gene in foodborne and clinical strains of Salmonella and Escherichia coli

Wei Li, Yanfei Yan, Jia Chen, Ruiwen Sun, Yuxuan Wang, Tingfen Wang, Zitian Feng, Kai Peng, Juan Wang, Sheng Chen, Yanping Luo, Ruichao Li, Baowei Yang

Summary: In China, mcr-1 gene was found in both foodborne and clinical strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella, indicating successful transfer of colistin resistance between the two bacteria. Different types of plasmids (IncI2, IncX4, and IncHI2) were identified carrying the mcr-1 gene, suggesting horizontal transfer of mcr-1 gene cassette through conjugation between wild-type bacteria. Furthermore, a new mcr-1 gene cassette was discovered, providing evidence for co-transfer of mcr-1 with other antibiotic resistance genes.

Prevalence and Traits of Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene Harbouring Isolates from Different Ecosystems in Africa

Madubuike Umunna Anyanwu, Charles Odilichukwu R. Okpala, Kennedy Foinkfu Chah, Vincent Shodeinde Shoyinka

Summary: The mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene poses a threat to the effectiveness of colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, in Africa where the regulation of critically important antimicrobial agents like colistin is lacking. Various mcr genes have been detected in isolates from humans, animals, foods, and the environment on the continent, leading to increased antimicrobial resistance and virulence in African strains. Transmission routes of mcr-containing bacteria in Africa include contact with reservoirs, consumption of contaminated foods, and trade and travel.

Broad-host-range IncW plasmid harbouring tet(X) in Escherichia coli isolated from pigs in Japan

Masaru Usuia, Akira Fukudaa, Yasuhiko Suzukib, Chie Nakajimab, Yutaka Tamuraa

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of the tet(X) resistance gene among pigs in Japan and reported the emergence of an IncW plasmid harboring tet(X) for the first time. The selective pressure exerted by the use of tetracyclines in livestock contributes to the spread of tet(X) plasmids, highlighting the need for prudent use of tetracyclines.

Oligosaccharide Metabolism and Lipoteichoic Acid Production in Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus paragasseri

Tsukasa Shiraishi, Shintaro Maeno, Sayoko Kishi, Tadashi Fujii, Hiroki Tanno, Katsuaki Hirano, Takumi Tochio, Yasuhiro Tanizawa, Masanori Arita, Shin-ichi Yokota, Akihito Endo

Summary: The growth and lipoteichoic acid production of two lactobacilli strains varied significantly in different oligosaccharide culture media, indicating that oligosaccharide metabolism can influence their probiotic properties. Transcription analysis suggested that differences in LTA size among the carbohydrates tested were partly due to variations in alanylation levels of LTA. This study highlights the importance of available oligosaccharides on the LTA production of industrially important lactobacilli.

Summary: Components of lactic acid bacteria with immunostimulatory effects are being increasingly studied for their therapeutic and prophylactic potential as alternatives to antibiotics, cognitive enhancements, and vaccine adjuvants. This study found that lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genus Apilactobacillus possess significantly higher activity in inducing immunoglobulin A (IgA) compared to other species. The differences in the structure of lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) may be related to this distinction in IgA-inducing activity.

Investigating the role of heat shock protein 47 in fibrosis in Crohn's disease

Hiroki Kurumi, Tomoaki Takata, Tsutomu Kanda, Takaaki Sugihara, Tomoyuki Kakugawa, Shin-ichi Yokota, Tomohito Morisaki, Taro Akashi, Hajime Isomoto

Summary: This study found that heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) is highly expressed in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and is associated with fibrosis. Serum HSP47 levels and anti-HSP47 antibody titers can serve as biomarkers to differentiate fibrotic from non-fibrotic forms of CD. In addition, HSP47 inhibition can suppress collagen production in fibroblasts.
