Abstract
Background
This study aimed to explore the distribution of beta-lactamase genes in Enterobacteriaceae from human clinical samples.
Methods
We analyzed data from 83 countries through the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance program, spanning 2004 to 2021. We calculated the proportion of each β-lactamase gene across nine bacterial species and generated a heatmap for β-lactamase genes with a frequency of ≥ 1 % in at least one species.
Results
A total of 359 β-lactamase genes were identified, with the highest proportion found in Klebsiella spp. (61.84 %, n = 222), followed by Escherichia coli (47.63 %, n = 171), and Proteus spp. (20.61 %, n = 74). The ESBL gene blaCTX-M−15 was most prevalent in Klebsiella spp. (62.39 %) and E. coli (53.16 %). The carbapenemase genes blaNDM-1, blaOXA-48, and blaKPC-2 were notably higher in Providencia spp. (59.47 %), Raoultella spp. (45.45 %), and Serratia spp. (25.24 %), respectively.
Conclusion
Further surveillance and research are needed to investigate the diversity of β-lactamase genes across One Health interfaces.
