Objective: The emerging epidemic of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL-EC) is a global public health crisis. ESBL-EC infections are increasing worldwide and contribute to morbidity and mortality among newborn infants. However, the antimicrobial resistance characteristics and clonal transmission of maternal and neonatal ESBL-EC isolates need to be further deciphered.
Materials And Methods: We performed phenotypic and genotypic characterization of 33 ESBL-EC isolates from pregnant women and newborn during 2019-2020.
Results: Minimum inhibitory concentrations of 17 antimicrobial agents showed that all isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR) and had a resistance rate of 100% to ampicillin, and mild resistance to florfenicol, gentamicin, ceftazidime, and amoxicillin-clavulanate. Additionally, imipenem, meropenem, polymyxin, and tigecycline exhibited good activity against the tested ESBL-EC isolates with low MIC (0.06-1 μg/mL) and MIC (0.06-1 μg/mL). Whole genome sequencing indicated that ESBL-EC isolates contained diverse antimicrobial resistant genes (, , , , etc., etc.). genes were the main ESBL genotype. ST1193 (18.2%) was the second most abundant ST among the ESBL-EC isolates (ST131 was the most common, with 30.3%), and this is the first report of its mother-to-infant colonization transmission in China.
Conclusion: These findings revealed the occurrence of high-risk ST1193 clone among ESBL-EC isolates from pregnant women and newborn colonization in China. Further national or regional multicenter studies are needed to assess the dissemination and evolution of ESBL-EC ST1193 clone as a nosocomial pathogen in China.

The surging prevalence rates of ESBL-producing (ESBL-Ec) pose a serious threat to public health. To date, most research on drug-resistant bacteria and genes has focused on livestock and poultry breeding areas, hospital clinical areas, natural water environments, and wastewater treatment plants. However, few studies have been conducted on drug-resistant bacteria in vegetable cultivation.

Background: The impact of community carriage on the influx of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) into hospitals remains understudied. In this prospective 2-year single-centre study, we investigate the community ESBL-E influx and trace the colonisation, nosocomial acquisition, transmission, and infection dynamics of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) in non-ICU wards at a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: This study reports primary and post hoc outcomes of the clinical trial NCT01208519 in which hospitalised patients were screened for rectal carriage of ESBL-E.

Article Synopsis
- Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL-) bacteria are a major public health issue due to their widespread resistance to multiple antibiotics, particularly among broiler chickens in Dakar, Senegal.
- A study found that 61.7% of broilers carried ESBL- in their cecum, with antibiotic tests revealing high resistance rates to various β-lactam antibiotics but full susceptibility to imipenem.
- The research indicates significant multidrug resistance and the presence of multiple ESBL genes, highlighting the risk of human transmission through the food supply and the need for better surveillance and intervention strategies.
