Abstract
AbstractThe global emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli), mainly causing urinary tract infections (UTI), is of great concern. Almost one third of patients with UTI, develop recurrent UTI (RUTI). We followed 297 patients for one year after their first episode of UTI due to ESBL-E. coli. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of the globally dominant sequence type (ST)131 clone and its clades, on the risk of subsequent recurrences with ESBL-E. coli. Isolates from patients developing RUTI (68/297) were compared with those from patients with sporadic UTI (SUTI, 229/297). No association was found between RUTI and the two most prevalent phylogroups B2 and D, blaCTX-M genes, or resistance profile. Half of the patients with RUTI were infected with ST131 isolates. Clade C2 were in dominance (50/119) among ST131 isolates. They were more common in patients with RUTI than SUTI (28% vs 13%) and multivariate analysis showed an increased odds-ratio (OR = 2.21, p = 0.033) for recurrences in patients infected with these isolates as compared to non-ST131 isolates. Detecting specific biomarkers, as ST131 clade C2, in ESBL-E. coli UTI isolates may aid in prediction of RUTI and improve diagnostics and care of patients with a risk of ESBL-E. coli recurrences.
