Microbiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>The increasing occurrence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase- (ESBL) and\/or AmpC \u03b2-lactamase- (AmpC) producing Enterobacterales in irrigation water and associated irrigated fresh produce represents risks related to the environment, food safety, and public health. In South Africa, information about the presence of ESBL\/AmpC-producing Enterobacterales from non-clinical sources is limited, particularly in the water\u2013plant-food interface. This study aimed to characterize 19 selected MDR ESBL\/AmpC-producing <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=3), <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=5), <jats:italic>Serratia fonticola<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=10), and <jats:italic>Salmonella enterica<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=1) isolates from spinach and associated irrigation water samples from two commercial spinach production systems within South Africa, using whole genome sequencing (WGS). Antibiotic resistance genes potentially encoding resistance to eight different classes were present, with <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX-M-15<\/jats:sub> being the dominant ESBL encoding gene and <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>ACT<\/jats:sub>-types being the dominant AmpC encoding gene detected. A greater number of resistance genes across more antibiotic classes were seen in all the <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> strains, compared to the other genera tested. From one farm, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX-M-15<\/jats:sub>-positive <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> strains of the same sequence type 985 (ST 985) were present in spinach at harvest and retail samples after processing, suggesting successful persistence of these MDR strains. In addition, ESBL-producing <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> ST15, an emerging high-risk clone causing nosocomical outbreaks worldwide, was isolated from irrigation water. Known resistance plasmid replicon types of Enterobacterales including IncFIB, IncFIA, IncFII, IncB\/O, and IncHI1B were observed in all strains following analysis with PlasmidFinder. However, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX-M-15<\/jats:sub> was the only \u03b2-lactamase resistance gene associated with plasmids (IncFII and IncFIB) in <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=4) strains. In one <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and five <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> strains, integron In191 was observed. Relevant similarities to human pathogens were predicted with PathogenFinder for all 19 strains, with a confidence of 0.635\u20130.721 in <jats:italic>S. fonticola<\/jats:italic>, 0.852\u20130.931 in <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>, 0.796\u20130.899 in <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>, and 0.939 in the <jats:italic>S. enterica<\/jats:italic> strain. The presence of MDR ESBL\/AmpC-producing <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>S. fonticola<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>S. enterica<\/jats:italic> with similarities to human pathogens in the agricultural production systems reflects environmental and food contamination mediated by anthropogenic activities, contributing to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2021.734649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]],"date-time":"2021-10-01T06:33:25Z","timestamp":1633070005000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Whole Genome Sequencing of Extended-Spectrum- and AmpC- \u03b2-Lactamase-Positive Enterobacterales Isolated From Spinach Production in Gauteng Province, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Loandi","family":"Richter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika M.","family":"du Plessis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stacey","family":"Duvenage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mushal","family":"Allam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arshad","family":"Ismail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lise","family":"Korsten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"447","DOI":"10.1021\/bi501195g","article-title":"Molecular basis for the catalytic specificity of the CTX-M extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamases","volume":"54","author":"Adamski","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biochemistry"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"448","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms8030448","article-title":"Whole genome sequencing differentiates presumptive extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli along segments of the one health continuum","volume":"8","author":"Adator","year":"2020","journal-title":"Microorganisms"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"312","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-020-05157-4","article-title":"Detection of several carbapenems resistant and virulence genes in classical and hyper-virulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from hospitalized neonates and adults in Khartoum","volume":"13","author":"Albasha","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC.
