Abstract
Unconsidered microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, may be often recovered from food samples. This study aimed to characterize seven P. aeruginosa recovered from traditional market chicken meat in Lima, Peru. Antimicrobial susceptibility to 18 antimicrobial agents as well as the presence of amino acid changes in fluoroquinolone targets, 10 mediated colistin resistance (mcr) genes and integrons were analyzed. Clonal relationships were determined through pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Serotype by agglutination, multilocus sequence typing and the presence of 14 virulence factors (VFs) were established. Two isolates were multidrug-resistant, all being fluoroquinolone-resistant and exhibited the amino acid changes GyrA T83I and ParC S87L. No mcr gene was detected in the colistin-resistant isolates. The isolates showed identical PFGE patterns, and the selected P6 isolate belonged to the serotype O:4 and the sequence type 1800, and presented 12 VFs (all but exoU and exlA). The present study highlights the presence of multidrug and virulent P. aeruginosa in market chicken meat, and suggests cross-contamination during meat manipulation.
期刊介绍:
Foodborne Pathogens and Disease is one of the most inclusive scientific publications on the many disciplines that contribute to food safety. Spanning an array of issues from "farm-to-fork," the Journal bridges the gap between science and policy to reduce the burden of foodborne illness worldwide.
Foodborne Pathogens and Disease coverage includes:
Agroterrorism
Safety of organically grown and genetically modified foods
Emerging pathogens
Emergence of drug resistance
Methods and technology for rapid and accurate detection
Strategies to destroy or control foodborne pathogens
Novel strategies for the prevention and control of plant and animal diseases that impact food safety
Biosecurity issues and the implications of new regulatory guidelines
Impact of changing lifestyles and consumer demands on food safety.
