Abstract
The degree of contamination of retail meat with colistin-resistant bacteria and its potential contribution to dissemination within communities remains to be determined. Thus, we aimed to elucidate the contamination status of colistin-resistance genes, indicative of colistin-resistant bacteria, in retail meats in Vietnam. In total, 46 chicken and 49 pork meats from stores in Vietnam and Japan were examined. Multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan probes was performed for detecting mcr-1, mcr-3, and Escherichia coli16S rRNA. Colistin-resistant bacteria in meats were isolated using selective media. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of colistin were determined using the broth microdilution method. The results showed that 70.7% of chicken meats in Vietnam were contaminated with both mcr-1 and mcr-3. Meanwhile, mcr-1 and mcr-3 were detected in 15.9% and 40.9% of pork meat, respectively. Only mcr-3 was detected in 40% of chicken in Japan. In addition, mcr-1-harboring E. coli and mcr-3-harboring Aeromonas were isolated from chicken meats in Vietnam. Some of these isolates showed colistin resistance. These results showed that most retail meats were highly contaminated with colistin-resistance genes. Notably, our results suggest that mcr-3 is more prevalent in the contaminated samples compared with mcr-1.
期刊介绍:
Foodborne Pathogens and Disease is one of the most inclusive scientific publications on the many disciplines that contribute to food safety. Spanning an array of issues from "farm-to-fork," the Journal bridges the gap between science and policy to reduce the burden of foodborne illness worldwide.
Foodborne Pathogens and Disease coverage includes:
Agroterrorism
Safety of organically grown and genetically modified foods
Emerging pathogens
Emergence of drug resistance
Methods and technology for rapid and accurate detection
Strategies to destroy or control foodborne pathogens
Novel strategies for the prevention and control of plant and animal diseases that impact food safety
Biosecurity issues and the implications of new regulatory guidelines
Impact of changing lifestyles and consumer demands on food safety.
