RT Journal Article T1 High Prevalence and Diversity of Cephalosporin-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Including Extraintestinal Pathogenic E. coli CC648 Lineage in Rural and Urban Dogs in Northwest Spain A1 Abreu Salinas, Fátima A1 Díaz Jiménez, Dafne A1 García Meniño, Isidro A1 Lumbreras, Pilar A1 López Beceiro, Ana María A1 Fidalgo Álvarez, Luis Eusebio A1 Rodicio Rodicio, María del Rosario A1 Mora Gutiérrez, Azucena A1 Fernández, Javier K1 ST1485 (CC648) K1 ExPEC K1 MDR K1 ESBL K1 AmpC K1 Dogs K1 E. coli K1 K. pneumoniae AB The aim of this work was to assess the prevalence of extended spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in fecal samples recovered from rural and urban healthy dogs in Northwest Spain (Galicia) to identify potential high-risk clones and to molecularly characterize positive isolates regarding the genes coding for ESBL/pAmpC resistance and virulence. Thirty-five (19.6%) out of 179 dogs were positive for cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichiacoli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (39 and three isolates, respectively). All the isolates were multidrug resistant, with high rates of resistance to different drugs, including ciprofloxacin (71.4%). A wide diversity of ESBL/pAmpC enzymes, as well as E. coli phylogroups (A, B1, C, D, E, F and clade I) were found. The eight isolates (20.5%) found to conform to the ExPEC status, belonged to clones O1:H45-clade I-ST770 (CH11-552), O18:H11-A-ST93-CC168 (CH11-neg), O23:H16-B1-ST453-CC86 (CH6-31), and O83:H42-F-ST1485-CC648 (CH231-58), with the latter also complying the uropathogenic (UPEC) status. The three K. pneumoniae recovered produced CTX-M-15 and belonged to the ST307, a clone previously reported in human clinical isolates. Our study highlights the potential role of both rural and urban dogs as a reservoir of high-risk Enterobacteriaceae clones, such as the CC648 of E. coli and antimicrobial resistance traits. Within a One-Health approach, their surveillance should be a priority in the fight against antimicrobial resistance PB MDPI YR 2020 FD 2020 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/23829 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/23829 LA eng NO Abreu-Salinas, F.; Díaz-Jiménez, D.; García-Meniño, I.; Lumbreras, P.; López-Beceiro, A.M.; Fidalgo, L.E.; Rodicio, M.R.; Mora, A.; Fernández, J.
