Occurrence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in municipal wastewater treatment plant in Brno
Original language description
Forty-nine isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Brno, Czech Republic were studied. Samples obtained from WWTP effluents were cultured selectively for VRE and characterized. VRE were isolated from32 of 37 wastewater samples (86%) taken weekly. The forty-nine enterococcal isolates belonged to Enterococcus faecium (44), E. gallinarum (2), E. casseliflavus (2) and E. raffinosus (1). All E. faecium isolates were multiresistant, with resistance to five and more antibiotics. These resistances were encoded by the vanA, ermB, tet(M), tet(L), aac(6')aph(2") and aph(3')-IIIa genes. A total of 35 (71%) isolates carried virulence genes hyl and/or esp. Based on multilocus sequence typing, the E. faecium isolates were considered to be nosocomial high-risk enterococcal lineages 17, 18, 78, and 323. Eighteen of 20 selected E. faecium isolates had ability to transfer the vancomycin-resistance trait via filter mating with a transfer rate of 7.15+
