Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study was to assess the gene diversity and characterize a large set of plasmids harboring extended β-lactamase (ESBL) genes from raw and digested dairy manure. A total of eighty-four plasmids that were captured in thisE. colirecipient were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology. Twenty-four plasmids of interest were subsequently sequenced using MinION technology in order that a hybrid assembly could be performed on short-and long-read sequences to circularize and complete these plasmids. The size of sequenced plasmids ranged between 40 and 260 kb with various incompatibility groups: IncC, IncI1, IncN, IncY, IncB/O/K/Z, IncX1, IncHI2, IncHI2A, IncFIB(K), IncFII. A variety of extended β-lactamase genes were identified:blaCTXM -1,blaCTXM -14,blaCTXM -15, blaCTXM-27, blaCTXM-55,blaCTXM-61,blaPER-1,blaIMP-27. Interestingly, theblaIMP-27gene, a novel metallo-β-lactamase discovered in the last decade, was found located on an integrated region in the host chromosome. And one plasmid carrying theblaCMY-2gene, an AmpC gene, also expressed ESBL phenotype. Four virulence factors, includingcia, cib, traTandterC,were detected on some of these plasmids. In addition, six type-2 toxin-antitoxin systems were detected: MazF/E, PemK/I, HipA/B, YdcE/D, RelB/E and HigB/A. Twenty-two out of twenty-four complete plasmids carried putative prophage regions; and most of prophage hits were marked as incomplete, except that the largest plasmid pT525A and the IncY plasmid pT415A had prophage hits with higher scores.IMPORTANCEThe widespread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is largely due to the exchange of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids. Plasmids harboring extended β-lactamase (ESBL) genes originated from dairy manure potentially become entrained in manured soil, which subsequently enter the human food chain. Currently there is a lack of detailed information on these plasmids in the environment, specifically in dairy manure. This study unveils the abundance and diversity of ESBL-carrying plasmids from both raw and digested manures which were captured ingfp-labelledE. coliCV601. In addition, the study provides insightful information of plasmid characteristics including incompatibility groups, ESBL genes combined with other resistance genes, mobile genetic elements (transposons, insertion sequence), toxin-antitoxin systems, virulence factors and prophage sequences.
