Urban Wildlife Crisis: Australian Silver Gull Is a Bystander Host to Widespread Clinical Antibiotic Resistance
Original language description
The Australian silver gull is an urban-adapted species that frequents anthropogenic waste sites. The enterobacterial flora of synanthropic birds often carries antibiotic resistance genes. Whole-genome sequence analyses of 425 Escherichia coli isolates from cloacal swabs of chicks inhabiting three coastal sites in New South Wales, Australia, cultured on media supplemented with meropenem, cefotaxime, or ciprofloxacin are reported. Phylogenetically, over 170 antibiotic-resistant lineages from 96 sequence types (STs) representing all major phylogroups were identified. Remarkably, 25 STs hosted the carbapenemase gene bla(IMP-4), sourced only from Five Islands. Class 1 integrons carrying bla(IMP) and bla(OXA) alongside bla(CTX-M) and qnrS were notable. Multiple plasmid types mobilized bla(IMP-4), and bla(OXA-1), and 121 isolates (28%) carried either a CoIV-like (18%) or a pUTI89-like (10%) F virulence plasmid. Phylogenetic comparisons to human isolates provided evidence of interspecies transmission. Our study underscores the importance of bystander species in the transmission of antibiotic-resistant and pathogenic E. coli. IMPORTANCE By compiling various genomic and phenotypic data sets, we have provided one of the most comprehensive genomic studies of Escherichia coli isolates from the Australian silver gull, on media containing clinically relevant antibiotics. The analysis of genetic structures capturing antimicrobial resistance genes across three gull breeding colonies in New South Wales, Australia, and comparisons to clinical data have revealed a range of trackable genetic signatures that highlight the broad distribution of clinical antimicrobial resistance in more than 170 different lineages of E. coli. Conserved truncation sizes of the class 1 integrase gene, a key component of multiple-drug resistance structures in the Enterobacteriaceae, represent unique deletion events that are helping to link seemingly disparate isolates and highlight epidemiologically relevant data between wildlife and clinical sources. Notably, only the most anthropogenically affected of the three sites (Five Islands) was observed to host carbapenem resistance, indicating a potential reservoir among the sites sampled.
