Abstract

Antimicrobial-resistant extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) impact both human and veterinary medicine. One ExPEC clonal group that has become increasingly multidrug-resistant is serotype O15:K52:H1. Accordingly, we sought O15:K52:H1 strains among fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQ(r)) E. coli clinical isolates from humans (n=582) and dogs (n=120) in Australia. The phylogenetic group D isolates (267/702; 38%) were screened for O15:K52:H1-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in fumC and the O15 rfb variant. The 34 so-identified O15:K52:H1 isolates (33 human, 1 canine) underwent antimicrobial susceptibility profiling, virulence genotyping, and macrorestriction profiling. Although susceptibility profiles varied, the 34 isolates were closely related by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and exhibited typical O15:K52:H1-associated virulence profiles (complete pap operon, F16 papA allele, papG allele II, iha, fimH, sat, fyuA, iutA, kpsMII, ompT). The canine isolate closely resembled human isolates. Thus, O15:K52:H1 strains contribute to the FQ(r) ExPEC population in Australia and may potentially be transferred between humans and dogs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 July 2018.
All research outputs
#7,302,411
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases
#115
of 830 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,257
of 168,200 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases
#3
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 830 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 168,200 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
