Abstract Background Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are amongst the most frequent causes of urinary tract infections. We report a systematic review and meta-analysis of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of UPEC isolated from urinary tract infections. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed using PRISMA guidelines (Research Registry ref 5874). Data were extracted from PubMed/MEDLINE and ScienceDirect databases for studies published from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2019. Studies reporting antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of UPEC isolated in confirmed urinary tract infections (≥ 105CFU/ml) were eligible. Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of UPEC were estimated using random-effects meta-analysis model. Estimates with 95% confidence intervals, I-square (I2) statistic, and Cochran’s Q test were computed using the score statistic and the exact binomial method by incorporating the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation of proportions. Results Our search returned 2,504 hits, of which 13 studies were included in the meta-analysis, totalling 1,888 UPEC isolates. Highest antimicrobial resistance rates were observed among the antibiotic class of tetracycline in 69.1% (498/721), followed by sulphonamides in 59.3% (1119/1888), quinolones in 49.4% (1956/3956), and beta-lactams in 36.9% (4410/11964). Among beta-lactams, high resistance was observed in aminopenicillins in 74.3% (1157/1557) and first generation cephalosporins in 38.8% (370/953). Meanwhile, virulence factors with highest prevalence were immune suppressors (54.1%) followed by adhesins (45.9%). Taken individually, the most observed virulence genes were shiA (92.1%), CSH (80.0%), fimH/MSHA (75.3%), traT (75.1%), sisA (72.2%), iucD (65.7%), iutA (61.8%), kpsMTII (60.6%), and PAI (55.2%). Conclusions The increased antibiotic resistance of UPEC isolates was demonstrated and suggested a need for reassessment of empirical therapies in urinary tract infections treatment caused by this pathogen. In addition, this pathotype exhibited diverse surface and secreted virulence factors.

ABSTRACTExtended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producingEscherichia coli(ESBLE. coli) strains are of major concern because few antibiotics remain active against these bacteria. We investigated the association between the fecal relative abundance (RA) of ESBL-producingE. coli(ESBL-RA) and the occurrence of ESBLE. coliurinary tract infections (UTIs). The first stool samples passed after suspicion of UTI from 310 women with subsequently confirmedE. coliUTIs were sampled and tested for ESBL-RA by culture on selective agar. Predictive values of ESBL-RA for ESBLE. coliUTI were analyzed for women who were not exposed to antibiotics when the stool was passed. ESBLE. coliisolates were characterized for ESBL type, phylogroup, relatedness, and virulence factors. The prevalence of ESBLE. colifecal carriage was 20.3%, with ESBLE. coliUTIs being present in 12.3% of the women. The mean ESBL-RA (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 13-fold higher in women exposed to antibiotics at the time of sampling than in those not exposed (14.3% [range, 5.6% to 36.9%] versus 1.1% [range, 0.32% to 3.6%], respectively;P< 0.001) and 18-fold higher in women with ESBLE. coliUTI than in those with anotherE. coliUTI (10.0% [range, 0.54% to 100%] versus 0.56% [range, 0.15% to 2.1%[, respectively;P< 0.05). An ESBL-RA of <0.1% was 100% predictive of a non-ESBLE. coliUTI. ESBL type, phylogroup, relatedness, and virulence factors were not found to be associated with ESBL-RA. In conclusion, ESBL-RA was linked to the occurrence of ESBLE. coliUTI in women who were not exposed to antibiotics and who had the same clone ofE. coliin urine samples and fecal samples. Especially, a low ESBL-RA appeared to be associated with a low risk of ESBLE. coliinfection.
