Using whole-genome sequencing, we characterized Escherichia coli strains causing early-onset sepsis (EOS) in 32 neonatal cases from a 2019-2021 prospective multicenter study in France and compared them to E. coli strains collected from vaginal swab specimens from women in third-trimester gestation. We observed no major differences in phylogenetic groups or virulence profiles between the 2 collections. However, sequence type (ST) analysis showed the presence of 6/32 (19%) ST1193 strains causing EOS, the same frequency as in the highly virulent clonal group ST95. Three ST1193 strains caused meningitis, and 3 harbored extended-spectrum β-lactamase. No ST1193 strains were isolated from vaginal swab specimens. Emerging ST1193 appears to be highly prevalent, virulent, and antimicrobial resistant in neonates. However, the physiopathology of EOS caused by ST1193 has not yet been elucidated. Clinicians should be aware of the possible presence of E. coli ST1193 in prenatal and neonatal contexts and provide appropriate monitoring and treatment.

Genomics is a cornerstone of modern pathogen epidemiology yet demonstrating transmission in a One Health context is challenging, as strains circulate and evolve within and between diverse hosts and environments. To identify phylogenetic linkages and better define relevant measures of genomic relatedness in a One Health context, we collated 5471 Escherichia coli genome sequences from Australia originating from humans (n = 2996), wild animals (n = 870), livestock (n = 649), companion animals (n = 375), environmental sources (n = 292) and food (n = 289) spanning over 36 years. Of the 827 multi-locus sequence types (STs) identified, 10 STs were commonly associated with cross-source genomic clusters, including the highly clonal ST131, pandemic zoonotic lineages such as ST95, and emerging human ExPEC ST1193.

Article Synopsis
- ST1193 is a high-risk bacterial clone found to carry genes for both CTX-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases and NDM-type carbapenemases, making it a significant concern in the Gulf region.
- Two separate multidrug-resistant isolates of ST1193 were identified using advanced techniques like MALDI-TOF MS and were shown to be resistant to carbapenem antibiotics through susceptibility testing.
- The study highlights the worry of antibiotic resistance, as the plasmids carrying the NDM-5 carbapenemase genes can transfer between bacteria, complicating treatment options and increasing challenges for infection control efforts.
Fluoroquinolone-resistant sequence type (ST)1193 is a profound, emerging lineage associated with systemic, urinary tract and neonatal infections. Humans, companion animals and the environment are reservoirs for ST1193, which has been disseminated globally. Following its detection in 2007, ST1193 has been identified repeatedly amongst fluoroquinolone-resistant clones in Australia.

Background: Antibiotic prescription practices differ between countries, influencing regional antimicrobial resistance prevalence. However, comparisons of clonal diversity among resistant bacteria in countries with different prescribing practices are rare. The rise of fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQREC), often multidrug-resistant, exacerbates global antibiotic resistance.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) poses a significant threat to public health, contributing to elevated rates of morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. This study focused on investigating the antibiotic resistance profiles, resistance and virulence gene distributions, biofilm formation capabilities, and sequence types of strains resistant to six or more antibiotic classes. Among 918 strains isolated from 33 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), 53.
