Objectives: With the wide use of heavy metals as feed additives in animal production, little attention has been paid to heavy metal resistance in pathogenic bacteria. This study was performed to investigate the presence of heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) in Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolates and its correlation with disinfectant resistance genes (DRGs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Methods: HMRGs of 178 E. coli and 294 Salmonella isolated from chicken broiler farms and retail meat were detected by PCR. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of heavy metals were determined by the broth microdilution method. The complete genome of E. coli E308, which had indications of multidrug resistance, was recovered and assembled using third-generation sequencing. Results: The frequency of different HMRGs in E. coli and Salmonella ranged from 0.60-77.0% and 0.30-87.1%, respectively. MICs of heavy metals for E. coli and Salmonella ranged widely from <= 12.5 mg/L to 1600 mg/L. Moreover, HMRGs (zntA, arsB, merA, pcoR, pcoA, pcoC and chrA) were found to be significantly associated with one or more DRGs [sugE(c), emrE, mdfA, ydgE/ydgF, qacF, sugE(p) and qacE Delta 1] and ARGs (sul1, sul2, sul3, tetA, tetB, tetC, bla(TEM), bla(SHV) and bla(CTX)) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that HMRGs are widely present in E. coli and Salmonella isolated from chicken farms and retail meat. The association between HMRGs with DRGs and ARGs may lead to co-resistance to heavy metals and other antimicrobial agents. (c) 2020 The Author(s).
