Abstract

ABSTRACTDairy calves, particularly pre-weaned calves have been identified as a common source of multidrug (MDR) resistantE. coli. However, the strains and whether their resistance genes are plasmid or chromosomally located have not been well characterised. Our study examined the phenotype and genotype of antimicrobial resistantE. coliisolated from young calves (≤ 14 days old). Recto-anal swab enrichments from 40 dairy calves located on four dairy farms were examined for tetracycline, streptomycin, ciprofloxacin, and third-generation cephalosporin resistantE. coli. Fifty-eight percent (23/40) of calves harboured antimicrobial resistantE. coli: 18/40 (45%) harboured tetracycline resistant and 25% (10/40) harboured chromosomal mediated AmpC producingE. coli. Whole genome sequencing of 27 isolates revealed five sequence types, with ST88 being the dominant ST (17/27, 63% of the sequenced isolates) followed by ST1308 (3/27, 11%), along with the extraintestinal pathogenicE. colilineages ST69 (3/27), ST10 (2/27, 7%), and ST58 (1/27, 4%). Additionally, 16 isolates were MDR, harbouring additional resistance genes that were not tested phenotypically. Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing technologies enabled the location of multiple resistant gene cassettes in IncF plasmids to be determined. A phylogenetic comparison of the ST10 and ST69 isolates demonstrated that the calf derived isolates were distinct from other New Zealand animal, human, and environmental isolates. and highlights the importance of understanding the sources of antimicrobial resistance.
