Microbiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p><jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp., as an opportunistic pathogen, are widely distributed in the environment and the gastrointestinal tracts of both humans and animals. Captive Asian elephants, popular animals at tourist attractions, have frequent contact with humans. However, there is limited information on whether captive Asian elephants can serve as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this study was to characterize AMR, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), virulence-associated genes (VAGs), gelatinase activity, hemolysis activity, and biofilm formation of <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolated from captive Asian elephants, and to analyze the potential correlations among these factors. A total of 62 <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. strains were isolated from fecal samples of captive Asian elephants, comprising 17 <jats:italic>Enterococcus hirae<\/jats:italic> (27.4%), 12 <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:italic> (19.4%), 8 <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecium<\/jats:italic> (12.9%), 7 <jats:italic>Enterococcus avium<\/jats:italic> (11.3%), 7 <jats:italic>Enterococcus mundtii<\/jats:italic> (11.3%), and 11 other <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. (17.7%). Isolates exhibited high resistance to rifampin (51.6%) and streptomycin (37.1%). 50% of <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolates exhibited multidrug resistance (MDR), with all <jats:italic>E. faecium<\/jats:italic> strains demonstrating MDR. Additionally, nine ARGs were identified, with <jats:italic>tet(M)<\/jats:italic> (51.6%), <jats:italic>erm(B)<\/jats:italic> (24.2%), and <jats:italic>cfr<\/jats:italic> (21.0%) showing relatively higher detection rates. Biofilm formation, gelatinase activity, and \u03b1-hemolysin activity were observed in 79.0, 24.2, and 14.5% of the isolates, respectively. A total of 18 VAGs were detected, with <jats:italic>gelE<\/jats:italic> being the most prevalent (69.4%). Correlation analysis revealed 229 significant positive correlations and 12 significant negative correlations. The strongest intra-group correlations were observed among VAGs. Notably, we found that vancomycin resistance showed a significant positive correlation with ciprofloxacin resistance, <jats:italic>cfr<\/jats:italic>, and gelatinase activity, respectively. In conclusion, captive Asian elephants could serve as significant reservoirs for the dissemination of AMR to humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2023.1277221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,23]],"date-time":"2023-10-23T07:22:37Z","timestamp":1698045757000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Distribution and association of antimicrobial resistance and virulence characteristics in Enterococcus spp. isolates from captive Asian elephants in China"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jinpeng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanshan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiyou","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenqing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wanyu","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qianlan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keyi","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziyao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haifeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhijun","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jieyao","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangneng","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1089\/mdr.2000.6.63","article-title":"Associations between the use of antimicrobial agents for growth promotion and the occurrence of resistance among Enterococcus faecium from broilers and pigs in Denmark, Finland, and Norway","volume":"6","author":"Aarestrup","year":"2000","journal-title":"Microb.
