We report a survey (August 2017 to March 2018) and risk factor analysis of faecal carriage of antibacterial-resistant (ABR) Escherichia coli in 223 sixteen-week-old dogs in the United Kingdom. Raw feeding was associated with the presence of E. coli resistant to fluoroquinolones, tetracycline, amoxicillin, and streptomycin, but not to cefalexin or cefotaxime. Whole genome sequencing of 30 fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQ-R), 22 cefotaxime-resistant (CTX-R) and seven dual FQ-R/CTX-R E. coli isolates showed a wide range of sequence types (STs), an approximately 50:50 split of CTX-M:AmpC-mediated CTX-R, and almost exclusively mutational FQ-R dominated by ST744 and ST162. Comparisons between E. coli isolates from puppies known to be located within a 50 x 50 km region with those isolated from human urinary tract and bloodstream infections (isolated in parallel in the same region) identified a clone of ST963 E. coli carrying chromosomal blaCMY-2 in two puppies and causing two urinary tract infections and one bloodstream infection. Furthermore, an ST744 FQ-R clone was carried by one puppy and caused one urinary tract infection. Accordingly, we conclude that raw feeding is associated with carriage of ABR E. coli in dogs even at sixteen weeks of age and that bacteria carried by these dogs are shared with humans and cause serious opportunistic infections. We therefore suggest that those who feed their dogs raw meat seriously consider the potential ABR-transmission threat their pet may become as a result and deploy appropriate hygiene practices in mitigation.

Quality Of Food

A survey of the general microbiological quality of ready-to-eat food served in schools was undertaken across Wales, United Kingdom. Of the 2,351 samples taken, four were identified as containing unsatisfactory counts of Escherichia coli, four contained unsatisfactory counts of Staphylococcus aureus, and one contained an unacceptable count of Bacillus cereus when compared with guidelines for the microbiological quality of ready-to-eat food published by the United Kingdom Public Health Laboratory Service in 2000. No samples contained detectable levels of Salmonella, Listeria species, or Clostridium perfringens. When compared with data on the general microbiological quality of food available in Wales, the food sampled from schools was of relatively better microbiological quality.

ABSTRACT Among 149 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates collected from patients in southeast Austria from 1998 to 2004, 38 Escherichia coli isolates and 11 Klebsiella spp. were CTX-M producers. The proportion of CTX-M-producers among all ESBL producers rose from 0% in 1998 to 58% in 2004. In general, CTX-M-producers had heterogeneous pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns, but one E. coli isolate was identical to a United Kingdom epidemic CTX-M-15-producing strain, although no epidemiological link with the United Kingdom was apparent.
