Abstract
The incidence of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) in Escherichia coli has generated trepidations because dissemination of ESBL genes constitutes risk to public health. The current study aims to determine antibiotic susceptibility and carriage of ESBL blaSHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M by E. coli isolated from apparently healthy dogs in Ibadan conurbation, Nigeria.
Freshly passed fecal samples (n = 60) were collected from dogs into sterile sample bottles and processed to isolate E. coli following standard methods. Isolated E. coli were confirmed through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) by means of uidA and tested against 10 antibiotics via Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Escherichia coli showing phenotypic ESBL production were selected for ESBL blaSHV, blaTEMblaCTX-M genotyping using multiplex PCR.
Of the 31 E. coli isolates confirmed, 10 (32.3%), 9 (29.0%) and 7 (22.6%) were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, respectively while 8 (25.8%) were multidrug resistant (MDR). Escherichia coli isolates (n = 2/8) that were MDR harboured at least one of blaSHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes while another isolate (n = 1) simultaneously possessed the three ESBL genes. Apparently healthy dogs are likely reservoirs of ESBL- E. coli that can spread to pet owners through close contact with their companion animals.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
