This paper provides illustrative, literature-based examples of how antimicrobial resistance determinants from food-producing animals may be transferred to humans, focusing on resistance associated with streptothricins, glycopeptides, and colistin. It reviews evidence such as the presence of related resistance genes in animal and human contexts and the plausibility of transmission through the food chain or shared reservoirs, rather than performing new experiments. A major caveat is that the examples are presented as probable transfer scenarios, so direct causal linkage between specific animal sources and specific human cases is not definitively established in each instance. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Use, overuse, and misuse of antimicrobials contributes to selection and dissemination of bacterial resistance determinants that may be transferred to humans and constitute a global public health concern. Because of the continued emergence and expansion of antimicrobial resistance, combined with the lack of novel antimicrobial agents, efforts are underway to preserve the efficacy of current available life-saving antimicrobials in humans. As a result, uses of medically important antimicrobials in food animal production have generated debate and led to calls to reduce both antimicrobial use and the need for use. This manuscript, commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help inform the development of the WHO guidelines on the use of medically important antimicrobials in food animals, includes three illustrations of antimicrobial use in food animal production that has contributed to the selection—and subsequent transfer—of resistance determinants from food animals to humans. Herein, antimicrobial use and the epidemiology of bacterial resistance are described for streptothricins, glycopeptides, and colistin. Taken together, these historical and current narratives reinforce the need for actions that will preserve the efficacy of antimicrobials.

Abstract Use, overuse, and misuse of antimicrobials contributes to selection and dissemination of bacterial resistance determinants that may be transferred to humans and constitute a global public health concern. Because of the continued emergence and expansion of antimicrobial resistance, combined with the lack of novel antimicrobial agents, efforts are underway to preserve the efficacy of current available life-saving antimicrobials in humans. As a result, uses of medically important antimicrobials in food animal production have generated debate and led to calls to reduce both antimicrobial use and the need for use. This manuscript, commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help inform the development of the WHO guidelines on the use of medically important antimicrobials in food animals, includes three illustrations of antimicrobial use in food animal production that has contributed to the selection—and subsequent transfer—of resistance determinants from food animals to humans. Herein, antimicrobial use and the epidemiology of bacterial resistance are described for streptothricins, glycopeptides, and colistin. Taken together, these historical and current narratives reinforce the need for actions that will preserve the efficacy of antimicrobials.

F1000Research 2017, 6 :1805 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.12777.1 ) First published: 05 Oct 2017, 6 :1805 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.12777.1 ) Latest published: 05 Oct 2017, 6 :1805 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.12777.1 ) Context Apart from a few molecules, many antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics, either occur in nature or are derived from natural compounds. Likewise, their corresponding resistance determinants have occurred naturally for millennia. Mounting evidence, however, informs us that decades of global, anthropomorphic antimicrobial overuse has resulted—and is resulting—in the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and their determinants. Much of this antimicrobial use is occurring in food animal production; while some over-selection from this use does not extend to distinctly human pathogens, zoonotic bacteria that can be transmitted from food animals to humans through the food supply and environment may pose an increased risk to humans due to adverse consequences of antimicrobial resistance such as treatment failure. Human deaths attributed to all bacterial resistance are currently estimated to be 700,000 annually 1 , and—unless action is taken—this estimate is projected by economists to exceed 10 million by 2050, thereby surpassing cancer 2 . Many organizations have begun to engage in efforts to reduce the potential public-health impact of bacterial resistance associated with the use of antimicrobials in food animals. In particular, the World Health Organization (WHO) has established an Advisory Group on Integrated Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance (AGISAR). This group has been key in producing guidelines on the use of antimicrobials in food-producing animals (hereafter, termed the “guidelines”), the integrated surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, regularly revised lists of critically important antimicrobials for human medicine (CIA List), and supporting capacity building and infrastructure development efforts in the developing world. This review was commissioned in the context of informing the development of the WHO guidelines on use of medically important antimicrobials used in food animals to be published in October, 2017. Therefore, our objective is to provide three specific examples that illustrate selection and subsequent transfer of resistant determinants from food animals to humans. These illustrative examples are streptothricins, glycopeptides, and colistin. Limitations Our general knowledge on antimicrobial resistance among bacteria is ever evolving; in particular, the story of colistin resistance is rapidly unfolding. This review was prepared for the WHO AGISAR meeting of October, 2016 (Raleigh, North Carolina, US) at which time the WHO guidelines was being drafted; therefore, the cited literature is considered up to date as of September 15, 2016. The scope of this review paper was centered on the evidence of antimicrobial use (and amount of use) in food animals and the epidemiology of common resistance mechanisms. Routes of antimicrobial administration were not evaluated or discussed within this report, but likely also play a role in antimicrobial resistance determinant selection. Further, dissemination of bacteria and resistance genes are frequently not unidirectional events. As such, we do not discount the importance of other directional routes of transfer (e.g. direct or indirect transfer from human to animal populations); however, the scope of this review was limited to transfer from food-producing animals to humans. The selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon. Unfortunately, there is no ‘perfect’ experiment or controlled environment to demonstrate selection, dissemination, and the subsequent risks imposed through the sharing of resistance determinants among bacterial and host populations, and we acknowledge up front that there remain data gaps. Streptothricins Streptothricins are a distinct group of antibiotic compounds isolated from the genus Streptomyces 3 , 4 . The first streptothricin compound (F) was described in 1942 5 . Antibiotic agents of the streptothricin group are composed of varying combinations and proportions of the streptothricin compounds (A, B, C, D, E, F, and X) 6 . More than 70 mixtures of streptothricin compounds have been described and subsequently named, including: streptolin, racemomycin, geomycin, grisein, pleocidin, and nourseothricin; however, the amount of detail available regarding the chemical structure and antibacterial activity of each of the streptothricin antibiotic agents varies greatly. Nonetheless, the streptothricin antibiotic agents are known to be effective against pathogenic fungi and have both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria through the inhibition of protein synthesis and misreading of genetic information 7 – 9 . Usage Nephrotoxicity associated with streptothricin antibiotic agents has prevented clinical use of these agents in human medicine 10 , 11 . As a result, use of the streptothricin antibiotic agents has been largely limited to plant production and animal husbandry in a select few countries, particularly China and the former German Democratic Republic (GDR; East Germany) 12 , 13 . The most detailed accounts of streptothricin use and the apparent subsequent dissemination of resistance are available from the GDR. Between 1981 and 1989, nourseothricin—a mixture of streptothricin D and F—was used in the GDR for in-feed growth promotion in the swine industry 5 , 14 . No data are available about the amounts of streptothricins or nourseothricin produced, distributed, or used in the swine industry during this time. Nourseothricin was not used in animals in the GDR prior to the introduction of its use in swine, and nourseothricin use in the GDR was limited to the swine industry 15 . Furthermore, no use of other streptothricin antibiotic agents in animals or humans has ever been reported in the GDR. Resistance It has been reported that, prior to utilization in the GDR swine industry in 1981, acquired nourseothricin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae among animal and human isolates was rare and believed to be solely associated with chromosomal mutations 12 , 16 , 17 . Furthermore, when phenotypic resistance was reported, it was never found to be a mobilizable resistance, although the extent of antimicrobial surveillance or screening is not cited and is unknown for that period of time. In 1981, less than one year after the initial use of nourseothricin in the swine industry, a streptothricin-streptomycin-spectinomycin resistance phenotype was observed in Escherichia coli isolated from rectal swabs from pigs on multiple farms, “sewage”, and from the feces of those in direct contact with the pigs (i.e. farm personnel) 17 . This resistance was found to be mediated by streptothricin-acetyltransferase ( sat ) genes coding for a nourseothricin-inactivating enzyme, which is carried on a transposon, designated Tn1825 17 . Evidence for transmission From 1981 to 1983, plasmid-mediated streptothricin resistance was documented in E. coli isolated from rectal swabs of pigs being treated with nourseothricin and slurry from their farms in multiple geographical locations within the GDR 14 . Hummel and colleagues also identified streptothricin-resistant E. coli in piglets being treated with nourseothricin, the gut flora of persons with direct contact with the pigs (i.e. farm personnel), the gut flora of persons with in-direct contact with the pigs, who had no other connection to the livestock industry (i.e. farm personnel’s family members), and among the gut flora of outpatients living in the same region that had no apparent contact with pigs 17 , 18 . Remarkably, the authors did not observe streptothricin resistance in samples from piglets or humans in regions where nourseothricin was not being used. Further, the prevalence of streptothricin resistance was highest in E. coli isolated from piglets (33% of 306) and declined in the following order: isolates from farm personnel (18% of 377), isolates from farm personnel’s family members (17% of 334), isolates from outpatients in the region (16% of 266) and isolates from urinary tract infections in outpatients in the region (1% of 28). Despite discontinuation of nourseothricin use in the GDR swine in 1988, the identification of streptothricin resistance and associated resistance determinants continued and broadened. Streptothricin resistance has now been associated with the sat , stat , and nat genes 19 . In 1992, the first report of streptothricin-resistance Campylobacter isolated from pig slurry was published 20 , 21 . Integrons harboring the gene sequence of these resistance determinants have also been observed in other bacteria (clinical isolates, animal environments, and food-producing animals), including Salmonella enterica , Enterococcus faecium , Acinetobacter baumannii , Burkholderia cenocepacia , Vibrio cholerae, Shigella sonnei, and S . flexneri 12 , 22 – 27 . Interestingly, the spread of the streptothricin resistance gene to these other ecological niches and bacterial populations has occurred without direct selection pressure (i.e. use of streptothricins in animals or human medicine) 12 . Importantly, the streptothricin resistance genes are often harbored in integrons with resistance determinants present to other antimicrobial agents, namely determinants coding for resistance to streptomycin, spectinomycin, trimethoprim, or kanamycin 22 – 25 . It is possible that such co-resistance may have contributed to the early dissemination of streptothricin resistance, but the early epidemiological studies did not report information on use of other antimicrobial agents. Little to no information is provided about the animals and humans from which the isolates were collected. Furthermore, because there were few studies that searched for streptothricin resistance prior to the 1980s, it is not known if streptothricin resistance determinants were present in bacteria before this time. Nonetheless, this illustrative example outlines the published account of the likely emergence and dissemination of plasmid-borne resistance from swine to humans. Summary Nourseothricin, a streptothricin antimicrobial agent, was widely used as a growth promoter in the swine industry in the former German Democratic Republic from 1981–1988. In contrast, toxicity prevented use of streptothricin antimicrobial agents in humans. Less than one year after the introduction of nourseothricin in swine, a plasmid-borne streptothricin resistance ( sat ) seemingly emerged in E. coli isolated from swine administered nourseothricin. Subsequently, plasmid-borne streptothricin resistance was detected in the gut flora of humans with direct, indirect, and no contact to pig farms, but living in the same regions. Following reports of the plasmid-mediated streptothricin resistance demonstrates an illustrative example of the detection—and apparent emergence—of streptothricin-resistant bacteria in swine as a result of antimicrobial use, and the dissemination of the resistant bacteria and mobile genetic elements conferring resistance to humans. Glycopeptides Glycopeptides are a broad-spectrum antimicrobial class, including vancomycin, and its derivatives teicoplanin, telavancin, dalbavancin, oritavancin, and avoparcin 28 . Glycopeptides block cell wall assembly in Gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis 28 . Therefore, the clinical importance of the glycopeptide class has been the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens. For a large part of the 1980s and 1990s glycopeptides were the drugs of last-resort for multidrug-resistant Gram-positive infections in humans 29 . Usage Vancomycin, the first antibiotic of the glycopeptide class, was first described in 1955 and was subsequently approved for human use by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1958 29 – 31 . The dates of approval and beginnings of human use in European countries are unknown. Renal toxicity and ototoxicity (largely due to impurities in the drug) limited vancomycin use in humans until the early 1980s when multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria began to emerge and purified formulations of vancomycin became available 32 , 33 . Annual vancomycin usage in humans in the US climbed from 2,000 kg in 1984 to 11,460 kg in 1994 33 . In Europe and Australia, human vancomycin use was more limited 33 ; for example, in Australia, an average of 193 kg of vancomycin was used in humans annually between 1991 and 1993 34 , 35 . France reported 200 kg of vancomycin was used in humans in 1984, increasing to only 1,151 kg in 1994 33 . Annual vancomycin usage in humans in Germany, Italy, United Kingdom (UK), the Netherlands, and Denmark each ranged between 24 to 408 kg in 1994 33 , 36 . Human use of vancomycin began to decline after 1994 following efforts to promote vancomycin conservation, an attempted to limit dissemination of glycopeptide-resistant bacteria. Although vancomycin use in humans in Europe was very limited in the 1990s, avoparcin, a glycopeptide antimicrobial, was heavily used in many European countries and Australia as an antimicrobial growth promoter in livestock 34 . Avoparcin use for growth promotion is documented in Europe as early as 1975 and products containing avoparcin have been registered in Australia since 1978 37 – 39 ; while data supporting heavy use of avoparcin in many European countries are limited, data from Denmark indicate 24,000 kg of active avoparcin were used in swine and broilers in 1994 36 . Austria reported an average of 62,642 kg of avoparcin for animal production use were imported per year from 1992 to 1996 40 . Australia used an annual average of 125,000 kg of avoparcin between 1991 and 1993 34 , 35 . Avoparcin has never been licensed for use in animals in the US 41 . Following the isolation of glycopeptide-resistant bacteria from food animal products at the retail level, attempts to mitigate the risk of human exposure to glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) through the food chain led to the ban of avoparcin for growth promotion use in Denmark and Norway in 1995, Germany in 1996, followed by the remaining European Union member states in 1997, and withdraw of avoparcin from the Australian market in 2000 20 , 38 , 39 , 42 – 46 . Resistance Transferable glycopeptide resistance in enterococci was first reported in human patients in both France and the UK in 1986, and then in the US in 1987 47 – 49 . However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that considerable attention turned to the evaluation of glycopeptide use and resistance due to differing epidemiological trends between GRE in the US and Europe. In the US in the 1990s, GRE emerged as a significant cause of healthcare-associated infection and colonization in many hospitals—frequently associated with the high use of vancomycin in those hospitals 50 – 52 . Hospital-associated GRE infections rose at an endemic rate; with the proportion of vancomycin resistant enterococcal blood isolates climbing from little to no resistance in 1989 to 25.9% in 2000 39 , 53 . In the 1990s in Europe, prevalence rates of GRE in hospitals remained low; however there were reports of GRE in healthy human carriers in the community (e.g. people with no association to a hospital) and sporadic hospital outbreaks 54 – 56 . Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance to growth promoters was not common practice prior to the mid-1990s 57 . Perhaps as a result, the first detection of GRE isolated from sewage, animals, and healthy humans in the community (i.e. outside of hospitals) were reported in the mid-1990s 39 , 42 , 45 , 56 , 58 – 66 . Notably, an association was made between use of avoparcin and the occurrence of GRE in livestock and their environments in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, UK, and the Netherlands—directing a spotlight to food animal production 42 , 50 , 51 , 57 , 60 , 61 , 65 , 67 – 74 . The differing epidemiological trends in GRE between the US and Europe led to considerable interest to compare GRE from European farm animals fed avoparcin, hospitalized humans, and non-human sources using various molecular methods 32 . Such investigations provided a great deal of insight about the epidemiology of acquired resistance genotypes associated with glycopeptide resistance, particularly the most globally widespread and prevalent glycopeptide resistance in enterococci, vanA resistance. vanA is an inducible resistance to vancomycin and often teicoplanin mediated by a complex cluster of resistance genes ( ORF1, ORF2, vanR, vanS, vanH, vanA, vanX, vanY, and vanZ ) often carried on a 10,851 bp transposon designated Tn 1546 67 , 75 – 77 . Evidence for transmission Analysis of GRE with vanA resistance revealed a certain level of host-association 51 , 78 – 80 . Reports using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence typing and phylogenetic analysis for genotyping clustered vanA Enterococcus faecium isolates from varying ecological backgrounds into distinct genogroups. Strains collected from pigs and healthy people often clustered together forming a single genotype or cluster. In contrast, isolates collected from poultry and their farmers, veal calves and their farmers , and hospitalized patients from epidemics worldwide each form genetically distinct clusters 78 – 80 . One of the first insights of genetic relatedness was the observation of a single base change (G8234T) in the vanX of Tn 1546 , which was first described by Jensen et al. 50 , 51 The G-variant was associated with isolates collected from poultry and poultry farmers in multiple countries 51 , 57 , 68 , 81 . The T-variant, on the other hand, was predominantly observed in swine isolates from differing countries 51 , 80 . Interestingly, both G- and T-variants were associated with isolates likely of human origin 51 . In fact, it was observed that all human samples from a Muslim country—a population that likely eats little or no pork—belong to the G-variant associated with poultry, thus further suggesting GRE transmission may occur between food animals and humans 51 . Further investigation of vanA mechanism by Willems et al. 80 , revealed amplified fragment length polymorphism (ALFP) genotyping clustered a bank of 255 E. faecium isolates from various ecological niches and geographic locations into four genogroups (designated A–D). All isolates collected from pigs and 76% of isolates collected from healthy people clustered to form Genogroup A. Almost all isolates collected from poultry (95%) and 50% of isolates from poultry farmers clustered to form Genogroup B, and Genogroup D contained 70% of isolates collected from veal calves and their farmers . Further, 84% of isolates collected from hospitalized patients from epidemics in the UK, US, and Australia formed a genetically distinct cluster from the healthy humans and animal genogroups, which the authors designated Genogroup C 80 . Similar findings have been demonstrated using various other genotypic methods 39 , 72 , 78 , 79 , 82 – 84 . The VanA gene cluster is now one of many described genotypic determinants encoding glycopeptide resistance, and the early genotypic studies described herein only evidence the likely dissemination of a single glycopeptide resistance determinant from animals to healthy people. Further, the differing epidemiological trends between the US and Europe detail two situations that consequently led to the selection of glycopeptide resistance determinants in distinct ecological niches—one in hospitalized patients and the other in healthy humans and animals. Nonetheless, the genetic characterization of the VanA gene cluster provides an illustrative example of the dissemination of glycopeptide resistance from animals to humans following selection, due to use of avoparcin for growth promotion. Summary Avoparcin appears to have been widely used in food animals, particularly in chickens and pigs, in parts of Europe, since before the mid 1970s. Vancomycin use in humans, in contrast, was very limited in Europe until the late 1990s. It appears likely that the use of avoparcin in food animals selected for the emergence and dissemination of a resistance gene cluster (VanA), which was increasingly identified in animals and healthy people. Molecular subtyping of the VanA gene cluster has identified variants that are more likely to be associated with certain food animal species. Subsequently, GRE were transmitted and found to colonize healthy humans, presumably via the food chain. Therefore, evaluation of the VanA gene cluster variants provides an illustrative example of the emergence and selection of a genetic resistance determinant as a consequence of antimicrobial use in food animals, and subsequent dissemination of the resistant bacteria to humans. Colistin Polymyxin E (herein simply referred to as colistin) is a cationic, multicomponent lipopeptide antimicrobial agent of the polymyxin family that was first discovered in 1949 and isolated in 1950 85 . Polymyxins are effective against Gram-negative bacilli through their affinity to bind to the negatively charged lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the cell outer membrane 86 . This binding, more specifically to the anionic lipid A of the LPS, leads to disruption of the cell membrane integrity, ultimately leading to leakage induced cell death 86 – 88 . Two forms of the colistin compound are available for clinical use: colistin sulfate (colistin S) and the pro-drug, colistimethate sodium (colistin methanesulfonate sodium, colistin sulfomethate sodium, colistin M). Usage The US FDA first approved colistin for human use in 1962—in the form of colistin sulfate; this first approval was for ear drops 89 . The FDA subsequently approved a product for injection—in the form of colistimethate sodium—for human use in 1970 90 . No US data are available on the quantities of colistin used in humans, although use in the US is thought to have been very low as parenteral use in human medicine quickly fell out of favor due to initial reports of nephro- and neurotoxicity 90 – 96 . More recently, colistin has reemerged as an antimicrobial of interest as a last-resort treatment option for life threatening human infections of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii strains, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae 97 – 102 . Approval dates for human use of colistin products in member states of the EU are not clear; however, it is believed that human use began in the 1960s. More recent estimates of polymyxin consumption in humans are available in the EU/European Economic Area 103 . A sum of 0.8 tonnes of active polymyxin ingredients—including colistin and polymyxin B—were consumed by humans in 22 European countries in 2012 104 . In 2014, polymyxin consumption in humans in Europe was 0.012 defined daily doses (DDD) per 1,000 inhabitants—a 50% increase since the 0.008 DDD per 1,000 inhabitants was reported in 2010 105 . Countries reporting highest use of polymyxin in humans include Greece, Italy, and Slovakia (0.095, 0.025, and 0.025 defined daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants, respectively) 105 . In animals, the extent of colistin sales and use is largely unknown outside of the EU 106 – 109 . In the US, one colistin product, in the form of an injectable colistimethate sodium, was approved for use in chickens in 1998 110 ; however its marketing status is unclear. In Canada, colistin is not approved for veterinary medicine; however, a loophole in regulation leaves opportunity for “own-use importation,” meaning farmers may import—and use—unlicensed, non-prescription antimicrobials in their animals 111 . As such, use in swine production has been explored under the veterinarian’s liability (dose, withdrawal period) 112 , 113 . In the EU, colistin-containing products for use in animals are authorized 114 , though marketing authorization is on a national level and little historical information is available. It is believed that colistin has been used in food animals in the EU since the 1950s 103 . Colistin is chiefly administered as an oral group treatment in food-producing species to alleviate and prevent Gram-negative infections of the gastrointestinal tract 107 . Such use is predominantly reported in pigs, poultry, cattle, sheep, goats, and rabbits; however, colistin is also used in laying hens and milk-producing cattle, sheep, and goats 106 , 107 . To date, no data are available that would allow comparison among uses in differing animal species on a European level. Colistin is also reported to be used in food animal production in Asia, although publically available data are scarce. In China, approximately 90% of the 17.5 million tonnes of colistin produced in 2014 were reportedly consumed by the domestic agriculture industry 108 . If so, China likely represents the largest colistin producer and consumer in the world. In comparison, a sum of 545.2 tonnes of active polymyxin ingredients—including colistin and polymyxin B—were consumed by food-producing animals, primarily in poultry and swine, in 22 European countries in 2012 104 . In 2013, polymyxins were estimated to be the fifth most commonly sold antimicrobial class (7%) for food-producing animals across the EU 107 . Reported consumption of colistin in animals varied greatly, ranging from 100 tonnes in Germany, Italy, and Spain 104 . In another report, annual colistin use in animals in Europe ranged between 0 mg (Finland, Iceland, and Norway) to more than 20 mg (Italy and Spain) per kg of animal biomass 115 . Use of colistin for growth promotion in China was banned effective November 1, 2016—which was expected to decrease colistin use in food animal production in China by an estimated 8,000 tonnes 116 . In March 2015, the European Commission adopted a Decision restricting indications, target species, duration of treatment, and added prudent use warnings to products administered orally to animals that contain colistin as the sole active ingredient 117 . Evidently, such conversations have continued, as the European Commission recently implemented a Directive to withdraw marketing authorizations for all veterinary medicinal products containing colistin in combination with other antimicrobial substances to be administered orally 118 . The European Medicines Agency issued a recommendation advising colistin to be used solely as a second line treatment in animals and for sales to be minimized EU-wide 103 . In Canada, the “own-use importation” loophole has been acknowledged and regulation changes have been proposed that would prohibit such practices 119 . Resistance Despite widespread and continuous veterinary use, data gaps persist around colistin resistance. Lack of agreement on standardized in vitro screening methods and interpretation criteria has complicated and hindered phenotypic surveillance efforts 86 , 120 – 123 . This dilemma is largely a consequence of two important colistin characteristics: a large molecule size—which reduces its rate of diffusion into media—and its affinity to adhere to plastics—which are commonly used in phenotypic methods 86 , 123 . Until recently, colistin resistance was believed to be extremely rare; however, surveillance efforts were minimal. In fact, mandatory EU monitoring for colistin resistance in Salmonella and E. coli only began in 2014 124 , 125 . Even so, many member states have reported technical difficulties in using the only recommended screening method (i.e., broth dilution) 103 . Before November 2015, described phenotypic colistin resistance was associated with chromosomal mutations, which, at least in theory, would be limited to vertical (clonal) dissemination 86 , 126 . However, this previous belief was proven too narrow by the description of a novel, conjugable plasmid-mediated gene conferring colistin resistance 108 . The gene, designated mobile colistin resistance, or mcr-1 , was described in E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from human clinical isolates, retail meat, and food animals in China, between 2011 and 2014 108 . The discovery prompted an immediate worldwide response with screening via genomic data mining exercises or else a combination of phenotypic and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods 127 – 133 . It has now been retrospectively identified with 100% homology in other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family isolated from human, animal, food, and environmental samples and from multiple continents 133 – 140 . Evidence for transmission In humans, the earliest identified mcr-1 was found in a Shigella sonnei isolate arising from a hospitalized child with diarrhea in Vietnam in 2008 141 . Bacteria harboring mcr-1 have also been reported in isolates from humans (both infected patients and asymptomatic human carriers) in Canada 142 , 143 , China 108 , 136 , 144 – 154 , Denmark 106 , 140 , Ecuador 155 , Egypt 156 , France 130 , 157 , Germany 137 , 158 , 159 , Hong Kong 159 , 160 , India 161 , 162 , Italy 159 , 163 – 165 , Laos 130 , Malaysia 159 , 166 , Netherlands 131 , 167 – 170 , Norway 171 , Poland 159 , 172 , Portugal 173 , Russia 159 , Saudi Arabia 174 , Singapore 175 , 176 , South Africa 177 , 178 , Spain 159 , 179 , Sweden 180 , 181 , Switzerland 182 – 185 , Taiwan 186 , Thailand 130 , 187 , United Arab Emirates 174 , UK 188 , US 159 , 189 – 191 , Venezuela 192 , and Vietnam 141 , 193 . Bacteria harboring the mcr-1 gene sequence have likewise been documented from food samples on multiple continents 108 , 129 , 136 , 138 , 140 , 142 , 168 , 173 , 185 , 186 , 188 , 194 – 199 , suggesting this may be an important route of dissemination from animals to humans. To date, the earliest identified mcr-1- positive isolates are three E. coli isolates collected from chickens in China during the 1980s 200 . Interestingly, mcr-1 has not been detected in isolates arising during the two subsequent decades; however, the reported proportion of mcr-1 -positive isolates in China begins increasing in 2009 200 . Furthermore, in Europe the earliest mcr-1- positive isolate was identified as an E. coli originating from a diarrheic veal calf in France in 2005 132 . Observations of mcr-1 in bacteria isolated from food-producing animals, their products, or environments now includes: pigs (Belgium 128 , 201 , Brazil 202 , China 203 , 204 , France 127 , Germany 137 , 205 , 206 , Japan 133 , 207 , Laos 130 , Malaysia 136 , 138 , 166 , Spain 208 , Taiwan 186 , Venezuela 192 , Vietnam 209 , 210 , UK 211 , US 212 ), poultry (Algeria 130 , 213 , Brazil 202 , 214 , 215 , China 216 – 218 , Denmark 199 , Egypt 218 , France 127 , Germany 205 , Italy 106 , 219 , Malaysia 136 , 138 , 166 , Netherlands 169 , South Africa 220 , 221 , Spain 208 , Taiwan 186 , Tunisia 185 , Vietnam 193 , 209 ), and cattle (Belgium 128 , Denmark 199 , Egypt 222 , France 127 , 132 , 223 , Germany 205 , Japan 133 , Netherlands 169 ). Widespread reports of mcr-1 shortly after its initial characterization indicate the gene was likely being disseminated in an uncharacterized state, and thereby undetected rather than not being present, for a long period of time. The gene has evidently been widely disseminated geographically, as well as across multiple bacterial species of differing origins. Thus far, mcr-1 has mostly been reported in E. coli , although mcr-1 -positive Citrobacter 224 , 225 , Klebsiella 108 , 157 , 175 , 224 , Shigella 141 , Enterobacter 144 , 160 , 176 , 224 , and Salmonella 129 , 135 , 136 , 173 , 188 , 195 , 208 , 211 , 217 spp. have also been documented. Furthermore, mcr-1 has been observed in bacteria from wild animals and water samples, indicating the resistance determinant has also disseminated into the environment 194 , 224 , 226 – 230 . Retrospective screening for colistin-resistant bacteria may be limited by the availability of historical isolates and their genomic data. Further, lack of standardized phenotypic screening methods and the delay in genotypic description have likely lead to the underestimation of colistin resistance; nonetheless, the identification and description of the gene has opened the door for screening via genotypic methods. Nevertheless, resistance is still believed to be rare, particularly in humans and in some regions of the world. The initial paper reported the mcr-1 gene sequence in 1.4% of 902 E. coli and 0.7% of 420 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates in China; however, prevalence among E. coli isolates originating from pigs and retail meats in China were surprisingly higher: 20.6% of 804 isolates from pigs at slaughter collected between 2012–14 and 14.9% of 523 isolates from retail meats (chicken and pork) collected between 2011–2014 108 . Still, in the US the mcr-1 gene sequence is rare. It was detected in one E. coli isolate out of 949 animal intestine samples screened and was not detected in more than 44,000 Salmonella and 9,000 E. coli and Shigella isolates from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) genomic database 212 . In many reports to date, phenotypic screening is frequently performed prior to genotypic screening. For example, in France, Perrin-Guyomard and colleagues report mcr-1 in 0.3% of 590 isolates from healthy pigs in 2011–13, 1.8% of 227 isolates from broilers in 2014, and 5.9% of 239 isolates from turkeys in 2014 127 ; importantly, screening for mcr-1 was performed only on isolates with a colistin minimum inhibitory concentration > 2 mg/L. Some limitations are inevitable with this approach, as it implies a level of dependency on the much-debated breakpoints and phenotypic methods. The technological response afforded by genomics-based methods is also not without limitations, especially by not detecting variants of mcr-1 . In fact, on July 7, 2016, the first account of mcr-2 , a seemingly distinct gene also conferring colistin resistance was described in E. coli isolated from calves and piglets in Belgium 231 . This mcr-2 appeared to be more prevalent than mcr-1 among colistin-resistant E. coli of porcine origin 231 . Then, on July 11, 2016, the first functional variant of mcr-1 , designated mcr-1.2 , was reported in K. pneumoniae isolated from a surveillance rectal swab of a child in Italy 232 . Since this report was prepared, a number of other mcr variants have been reported, some of which also appear to have been disseminating globally prior to characterization 233 – 235 . While some of these genes may also contribute towards evidencing selection—and subsequent dissemination—of the colistin resistance determinant from food animals to humans, the focus of this report was the initial epidemiology of colistin resistance (i.e. mcr-1 ). Very likely, there remain additional yet-to-be-characterized mechanisms of colistin resistance. Much more work is needed to explore other mechanisms of resistance and to fully comprehend the overall prevalence of colistin resistance determinants and their phenotypic characteristics. Summary Colistin has been widely used in food animals—particularly poultry and swine—in areas of Europe and Asia for decades, perhaps since the early 1980s or earlier. In contrast, colistin use in humans has been extremely limited, at least until recently. It appears highly probable that the use of colistin in food animals has selected for a novel resistance gene ( mcr-1 ), identified as far back as the mid-1980s in chickens in China, which has become increasingly identified in isolates from food animals in many regions of the world since its discovery in 2015. This novel resistance gene has more recently been identified among isolates from humans; however, to date mcr-1 has been more frequently associated with food animal and meat isolates compared to human isolates. Prevalence of mcr-1 in animal samples—and to some degree in human samples—appears to be proportional to its use in animals. These chains of events, despite the data gaps, provide an illustrative example of the emergence, selection, and widespread dissemination of a resistance gene as a consequence of antimicrobial use in food animals, and subsequent transfer of bacteria harboring that resistant gene to humans. Conclusions In this review, we have focused on three illustrative examples (i.e. streptothricins, glycopeptides, and colistin) of selection—and subsequent transfer of antimicrobial resistance determinants from food animals to humans. The use of antimicrobials in food animal production contributes to the selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance determinants that may reach human populations. However, this review is only part of the picture if taken in a One Health perspective. Its objectives do not encompass the impact of other industries (i.e. environment, human, companion animals, etc.) that also contribute to selection of antimicrobial resistance and it’s consequences on each health sector. To tackle the problem of selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in a true One Health perspective, there is need to fully investigate the role of each of those industries. Nevertheless, the three examples we have described serve to illustrate that use of antimicrobials in food animals can result in antimicrobial resistance that can be transmitted to humans. Therefore, these illustrative examples support the need for actions, such as the proposed WHO Guidelines on use of medically important antimicrobials in food animals, to mitigate the risk of adverse human health consequences resulting from the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals.

Continue reading READ ALL In this review, Illustrative examples of probable transfer of resistance determinants from food animals to humans: strepothricins, glycopeptides and coilstin, these authors provide a timely update on this important topic of interest to veterinary public health. The three selected antimicrobial agents highlighted are described so as to provide the reader with a background on their uses; the emergence of resistance to these compounds and possible routes of dissemination. Two of the three examples provided (streptothricin- and glycopeptide-resistance) are historical in nature, whilst the colistin-resistant chapter is more recent. The selection of these topics clearly demonstrated the consequences of antimicrobial compound usage and the subsequent response from bacteria of importance to animal- and human-health. The manuscript is well designed and clearly written, as presented. It is scientifically sound. The topic is of immediate interest and would serve as a very useful and comprehensive review of our current understanding of this subject. In places the authors highlight some of the limitations in current approaches to the study of some of these resistance mechanisms, particularly in regard to colistin. Is the topic of the review discussed comprehensively in the context of the current literature? Yes Are all factual statements correct and adequately supported by citations? Yes Is the review written in accessible language? Yes Are the conclusions drawn appropriate in the context of the current research literature? Yes Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.

Continue reading READ ALL Manuscript “Illustrative examples of probable transfer of resistance determinants from food animals to humans: Streptothricins, glycopeptides, and colistin” describes evidence for antibiotic resistance gene transfer from bacteria colonizing / infecting livestock to bacteria colonizing / infecting humans by means of three examples: streptothricine-resistance and glycopeptide resistance as historical examples, and mcr mediated resistance to colistin as an important recent example. Altogether this review is well written and based on a very careful literature research together with a balanced selection of the really relevant publications. Above all the comprehensive and condensed presentation of studies on colistin resistance is impressing. A few points will need attention: A short discussion on the consequences of the ban of avoparcin as growth promoter would be of interest (e.g. significant reduction of gastrointestinal colonization of healthy humans in the community, Klare et al., 1999). It should also be mentioned that despite this ban several European countries faced an increase of VRE among isolates from blood cultures (EARSnet) since 2004. The question whether the ban was of little significance for the VRE situation in human medicine or whether it could have come much more worse in case of a continuing existing van gene pool in the community cannot be answered in retrospect. For the chapter on colistin resistance I suggest to mention that the extent to which mcr contributes to colistin resistance in clinical isolates cannot exactly be assessed so far, and that there are cases of acquisition of mcr by carbapenemase producing K.pneumoniae (Newton-Food et al., 2017). Furthermore, the emergence of E.coli harbouring mcr -1 and bla KPC-2 after meropenem and colistin therapy is of interest (Tacao et al., 2017). Is the topic of the review discussed comprehensively in the context of the current literature? Yes Are all factual statements correct and adequately supported by citations? Yes Is the review written in accessible language? Yes Are the conclusions drawn appropriate in the context of the current research literature? Yes Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: Molecular epidemiology of antibiotic resistance, studies on transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria and their resistance genes at the interface between livestock and humans I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard.
