Background. The determinants of the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBLEC) in the community remain unclear. To evaluate its dissemination in the environment, we analyzed the ESBLEC population throughout an urban wastewater network. Methods.aEuro integral Samples were collected weekly, over a 10-week period, from 11 sites throughout the wastewater network of Besan double dagger on city (France). Total E. coli and ESBLEC loads were determined for each sample. As a control, we analyzed 51 clinical ESBLEC isolates collected at our hospital. We genotyped both environmental and clinical ESBLEC by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing and identified their bla(ESBL) genes by sequencing. Results.aEuro integral The E. coli load was higher in urban wastewater than in hospital wastewater (7.5 x 10(5) vs 3.5 x 10(5) CFU/mL, respectively). ESBLEC was recovered from almost all the environmental samples and accounted for 0.3% of total E. coli in the untreated water upstream from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The ESBLEC load was higher in hospital wastewater than in community wastewater (27 x 10(3) vs 0.8 x 10(3) CFU/mL, respectively). Treatment by the WWTP eliminated 98% and 94% of total E. coli and ESBLEC, respectively. The genotyping revealed considerable diversity within both environmental and clinical ESBLEC and the overrepresentation of some clonal complexes. Most of the sequence types displayed by the clinical isolates were also found in the environment. CTX-M enzymes were the most common enzymes whatever the origin of the isolates. Conclusions.aEuro integral The treatment at the WWTP led to the relative enrichment of ESBLEC. We estimated that > 600 billion of ESBLEC are released into the river Doubs daily and the sludge produced by the WWTP, used as fertilizer, contains 2.6 x 10(5) ESBLEC per gram.
