Abstract
Five carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were obtained from 33 adult Guanay Cormorants from Isla Pescadores, Lima, Peru. Four isolates had a similar antibiotic susceptibility profile and their carbapenem resistance was attributed to mutations in OprD porin; whilst the last isolate carried both blaVIM (encoded within a Class 1 integron) and blaIMP. Moreover, the VIM/IMP co-producer belongs to ST111, considered as a high-risk clone. The other isolates could not be identified by MLST since amplification of mutL, aroE, and acsA could not be achieved. The exoA and exoT genes were present in all isolates, while the VIM/IMP isolate also carried exoS and exoY but neither exoU nor algD. BOX-PCR showed that the VIM/IMP isolate was not clonally related to the other four. These findings highlight the importance of surveillance and characterisation of carbapenem-resistant bacteria from environmental sources in Peru.
期刊介绍:
EcoHealth aims to advance research, practice, and knowledge integration at the interface of ecology and health by publishing high quality research and review articles that address and profile new ideas, developments, and programs. The journal’s scope encompasses research that integrates concepts and theory from many fields of scholarship (including ecological, social and health sciences, and the humanities) and draws upon multiple types of knowledge, including those of relevance to practice and policy. Papers address integrated ecology and health challenges arising in public health, human and veterinary medicine, conservation and ecosystem management, rural and urban development and planning, and other fields that address the social-ecological context of health. The journal is a central platform for fulfilling the mission of the EcoHealth Alliance to strive for sustainable health of people, domestic animals, wildlife, and ecosystems by promoting discovery, understanding, and transdisciplinarity.
The journal invites substantial contributions in the following areas:
One Health and Conservation Medicine
o Integrated research on health of humans, wildlife, livestock and ecosystems
o Research and policy in ecology, public health, and agricultural sustainability
o Emerging infectious diseases affecting people, wildlife, domestic animals, and plants
o Research and practice linking human and animal health and/or social-ecological systems
o Anthropogenic environmental change and drivers of disease emergence in humans, wildlife, livestock and ecosystems
o Health of humans and animals in relation to terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems
Ecosystem Approaches to Health
o Systems thinking and social-ecological systems in relation to health
o Transdiiplinary approaches to health, ecosystems and society.
