12. Evidence for growth of enterococci in municipal oxidation ponds, obtained using antibiotic resistance analysis

Abstract

An antibiotic resistance analysis is used to characterize the enterococci from raw sewage and wildfowl from around the oxidation ponds, which have almost identical resistance profiles. The findings from the study highlight the utility of antibiotic resistance analysis to identify the replication of a specific type of enterococci in an oxidation pond environment.

14. Same-day subtyping of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli isolates by use of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification-binary typing

Abstract

Campylobacteriosis is the most commonly reported form of human bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. Sound identification of infectious sources requires subtyping, but the most widely used methods have turnaround times measured in days and require specialist equipment and skills. A multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification-binary typing (MBiT) assay was developed for subtyping Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. It was tested on 245 isolates, including recent isolates from Belgium and New Zealand, and compared to multilocus sequence typing (MLST). When used in an outbreak setting, MBiT identified the predominant genotype and possible additional cases days before pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) results were available. MBiT was more discriminatory than MLST and, being a single assay with results produced within 6 h, was more rapid and cost-effective than both MLST and PFGE. In addition, MBiT requires only basic molecular biology equipment and skills. Copyright © 2014, American Society for Microbiology.

20. Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Analysis of More than One Clinical Isolate of Campylobacterspp. from Each of 49 Patients in New Zealand

Author

Gilpin, Brent, Robson, Beth, Lin, Susan, Scholes, Paula, and On, Stephen

Abstract

ABSTRACTPulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis demonstrated that while 76% of patients had only one genotype of campylobacter, 10% carried two different but related genotypes (Dice coefficients > 0.78), and 14% carried at least two unrelated genotypes (Dice coefficients < 0.65). This supports the clustering of Campylobacter isolates with similar PFGE patterns, highlights the need to analyze multiple isolates from both sources and patients, and confirms that caution should be exercised before epidemiological links between patients or sources are dismissed.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine risk factors and sources attributed to yersiniosis in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). A risk factor questionnaire was administered to 247 notified yersiniosis cases and 258 control participants from the Canterbury and/or Wellington regions of NZ. Yersinia sp. isolates from clinical cases and a range of food sources were whole-genome sequenced and genetically compared. Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) bioserotype 2/3, O:9 [McNally multi-locus sequence type (ST) 12] and YE Biotype (BT) 1A (46 different STs) predominated within the consented cases (45 and 27%, respectively). Exposure to pork was identified as a significant risk factor for cases associated with YE ST12. The presence of YE ST12 was confirmed in retail raw meat, primarily raw pork. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis identified multiple genomically very closely related clusters (0-5 SNPs) of YE ST12, predominately from raw pork with clinical cases from one or both regions. Risk factors associated with YE BT 1A included the consumption of cooked seafood, sushi, tofu, and some vegetable types. Analysis of specific risk factors and SNP analysis, combined, indicate that raw pork is a significant risk factor for exposure and infection to pathogenic YE cases, but not BT 1A cases., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
