Unexpected high prevalence of carbapenemase-producing bacteria and widely spread of blaNDM-1-positive Shewanella spp. in retail shrimp
Carbapenems, critical last-resort antibiotics, are increasingly ineffective due to the spread of carbapenemase-producing pathogens, particularly New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing bacteria. Although NDM has been detected in a variety of environmental and clinical sources, its prevalence in seafood, especially shrimp, remains underexplored despite shrimp being a widely consumed food. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of NDM-producing bacteria in shrimp. A total of 77 non-repetitive shrimp samples were collected from 8 farmers' markets to detect NDM-producing bacteria. Among these, 38 blaNDM-positive isolates were recovered from 34 samples (44.2 %, 34/77) and subject to whole genome sequencing (WGS). MALDI-TOF and WGS showed that these isolates were identified as Shewanella spp. (S. indica, n = 9; S. chilikensis, n = 12; S. algae, n = 6), Vibrio fluvialis (n = 6), and Escherichia coli (n = 5), with S. spp. and V. fluvialis exhibiting high genetic homogeneity, suggesting localized clonal spread among shrimps. Further Nanopore sequencing and molecular characterization of 11 randomly selected isolates indicated that ten blaNDM genes were located on plasmids, including IncC (n = 2, from S. algae and V. furnissii), untypeable plasmids from Shewanella spp. (n = 5), and IncI1, IncHI2, and IncFII-FIA plasmids from E. coli. These plasmids exhibited high homology with those from other sources deposited in GenBank, and the untypeable plasmids were unique to Shewanella spp. This study, to the best of our knowledge, represents the first report of the high prevalence of blaNDM-positive pathogens in shrimp, highlighting the critical public health threat posed by the widespread propagation of blaNDM through plasmids and clonal transmission in seafood. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence highlighting the critical need for stringent food safety policies and regulations to combat the health risks posed by emerging food pollutants.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Microbiology publishes papers dealing with all aspects of food microbiology. Articles must present information that is novel, has high impact and interest, and is of high scientific quality. They should provide scientific or technological advancement in the specific field of interest of the journal and enhance its strong international reputation. Preliminary or confirmatory results as well as contributions not strictly related to food microbiology will not be considered for publication.
