Sato, T., Harada, K., Usui, M., Yokota, SI., Horiuchi, M.  (2022) Colistin susceptibility in companion animal-derived Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. in Japan: Frequent isolation of colistin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex. Front Cell Infect Microbiol, in press.

 

日本の伴侶動物から分離された大腸菌、Klebsiella属菌、Enterobacter属菌でのコリスチン感受性を調査し、Enterobacter cloacae complexがコリスチン耐性を高頻度に示すこと、一部はヒトから分離される菌株株と同一のSequence typeであることを明らかにしました。

 

We investigated the colistin susceptibility to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. and Enterobacter spp. derived from companion animals in Japan.

We found that Enterobacter cloacae complex showed a high frequency of colistin resistance, and some of them were same sequence types as those isolated from humans.
