Adhesion, biofilm and genotypic characteristics of antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli isolates

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Aggregative adherence to human epithelial cells, most to renal proximal tubular (HK-2) cells, and biofilm formation was identified among antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli strains mainly isolated from bacteremia. The importance of these virulence properties contributing to host colonization and infection associated with multiresistant E. coli should not be neglected.

[TFN01] ^a
E. coli isolates 34 (feces) and 35 (blood culture) were obtained at the same day from the same patient; E. coli 36 (tracheal secretion) and all the remaining isolates were obtained from blood cultures (Cergole-Novella et al., 2010).

[TFN02] ^b
Nalidixic acid (Nal), ampicillin (Amp), kanamicin (Kan), cefepime (Cef), cefotaxime (Ctx), ceftazidime (Cfz), ciprofloxacin (Cip), chloramphenicol (Chlo), streptomycin (Str), gentamicin (Gen), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Sut) and, tetracycline (Tet).

[TFN03] ^c
DNA sequencing was not done for β-lactamases gene (bla) TEM and CTX-M.

[TFN04] ^d
E. coli isolates were negative by PCR for aggR, aatA, aggA and aafA, espI, espP, afa, and sfa.

[TFN05] ^e
Isolate 43 presented both curli+ and curli− colonies.

[TFN06] ^f
All isolates that presented or not adherence to different epithelial cells were tested in 3 and 6 h assays, except for the isolates that presented adherence to HeLa cells that were positive in 3 h assays; CD, cell detachment.

[TFN07] ^g
All E. coli isolates presented aggregative adherence to HK-2 cells, except isolate 40 that presented a non-defined adherence pattern.
