Genetic characterization and drug resistance analysis of Salmonella Kentucky ST314 in Shenzhen in 2010-2021
OBJECTIVE To understand the prevalence,genetic characteristics and drug resistance features of Salmonella Kentucky ST314 in Shenzhen.METHODS Whole genome sequencing of 14 strains of Salmonella Kentucky ST314 collected from 2010-2021 by the Foodborne Disease Surveillance Network of Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention for phylogenetic evolutionary analysis,drug resistance gene and plasmid detection;drug susceptibility experiments were performed by micro-broth dilution method.RESULTS A total of 57 strains of Salmonella Kentucky were collected from the foodborne disease surveillance network,14 of which were ST314.The Shenzhen isolates were clustered with isolates from Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Thailand on clade 314.2,and the single nucleotide polymorphism distance between local strains in Shenzhen was large,indicating dissemination.In this study,a total of 17 drug resistance genes/mutations in 9 categories were detected in the genome of Salmonella Kentucky ST314,carrying 3 extended spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs),including blaCTX-M-24(14.3％,2/14),blaCTX-M-55(7.1％,1/14),and blaCTXM-130(14.3％,2/14),all located on plasmids.Regarding quinolone resistance factors,two plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance(PMQR)genes were identified in the genome:qnrB6(71.4％,10/14)and aac(6')Ib-cr(78.6％,11/14),a quinolone resistance quinolone resistance-determining regions(QRDR)mutation T57 S(100％,14/14).The multi-drug resistance rate of Salmonella Kentucky ST314 in Shenzhen was 92.86％(13/14)with the highest rate of resistance to tetracycline and cotrimoxazole(100％,14/14),followed by chloramphenicol(92.86％,13/14),cefotaxime and ampicillin(78.57％,11/14),ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid(71.43％,10/14),and ampicillin-sulbactam had the lowest resistance rate(21.43％,3/14).CONCLUSION ST314 is the second most prevalent ST type among Salmonella Kentucky in Shenzhen,mainly isolated from food,especially poultry;phylogenetic analysis suggests that ST314 is a disseminated infection and the genome shows a highly genetically conserved phenotype.Drug resistance of Salmonella Kentucky ST314 is very serious,especially QRDR mutation,PMQR gene co-mediated quinolone resistance and plasmid-mediated cephalosporin resistance are prominent and deserve extensive attention.
