Whole genome sequencing of non-aureus Staphylococcus species from poultry barn bioaerosols across Alberta reveals circulation of isolates with multiple antibiotic resistant genes and disinfectant resistant genes
Objectives
Poultry environment has vast variety of bacterial species and non-aureus Staphylococcus species (NASS) are predominantly found. Various NASS are normal inhabitant of gastrointestinal tract and skin of chickens. The study objective was to isolate and identify NASS from bioaerosols of layer chicken barns across Alberta, leading to the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiling of the isolated bacterial colonies.
Methods
A total of 15 barns were sampled in this study with an XMX-CV microbial air sampler. Phenotypic AMR profiles were determined using the Sensititre® broth microdilution method on the standard CMV3AGPF plates and whole genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted to confirm the species and AMR genes.
Results
Seven Staphylococcus equorum, 5 Staphylococcus shinii, 1 Staphylococcus pseudoxylosus, 1 Staphylococcus cohnii, and 1 Staphylococcus gallinarum isolates were confirmed and identified by WGS and comparative genomic analysis. One of the S. equorum isolate was genetically highly divergent from the remaining isolates of the study. The phenotypic susceptibility profile showed 73.3% (11/15) of the isolates were resistant to lincomycin, 66.7% (10/15) were resistant to tetracycline, 33.3% (5/15) were resistant to streptomycin, 20% (3/15) were resistant to erythromycin, and 6.3% were resistant to gentamicin. A total of 10 antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) for antibiotics and 1 gene encoding resistance to disinfectants were detected among the study isolates by WGS.
Conclusions
Normal bioaerosol microflora having ARGs may lead to reduced therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotics in poultry and these ARGs can be a source of serious public health concern.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR) is a quarterly online journal run by an international Editorial Board that focuses on the global spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes.
JGAR is a dedicated journal for all professionals working in research, health care, the environment and animal infection control, aiming to track the resistance threat worldwide and provides a single voice devoted to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Featuring peer-reviewed and up to date research articles, reviews, short notes and hot topics JGAR covers the key topics related to antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic resistance.
