Abstract
This study aimed to determine the epidemiology and association of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Escherichia coli and Salmonella in Thailand. The E. coli (n = 1047) and Salmonella (n = 816) isolates from pigs, pork and humans were screened for 18 replicons including HI1, HI2, I1-gamma, X, L/M, N, FIA, FIB, W, Y, P, FIC, A/C, T, FIIAs, F, K and B/O using polymerase chain reaction-based replicon typing. The E. coli (n = 26) and Salmonella (n = 3) isolates carrying IncF family replicons, ESBL and/or mcr genes were determined for FAB formula. IncF represented the major type of plasmids. Sixteen and eleven Inc groups were identified in E. coli (85.3%) and Salmonella (25.7%), respectively. The predominant replicon patterns between E. coli and Salmonella were IncK-F (23.7%) and IncF (46.2%). Significant correlations (P < 0.05) were observed between plasmid-replicon type and resistance phenotype. Plasmid replicon types were significantly different among sources of isolates and sampling periods. The most common FAB types between E. coli and Salmonella were F2:A-:B- (30.8%) and S1:A-:B- (66.7%), respectively. In conclusion, various plasmids present in E. coli and Salmonella. Responsible and prudent use of antimicrobials is suggested to reduce the selective pressures that favour the spread of AMR determinants. Further studies to understand the evolution of R plasmids and their contribution to the dissemination of AMR genes are warranted.Keywords
