NDM was first reported in the literature in 2009 in a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate and was referred to as NDM-1. To date, there have been 13 variants of NDM that have been identified: NDM-1 to NDB-14 (NDM-11 was not assigned to any unique variant).1Several reports have demonstrated the dissemination of NDM among Escherichia coli isolated, not only from humans but also from animals (canine, horse, geese, chicken, etc.).1 Thessaly is a rural area in central Greece with 1,000,000 inhabitants, many of whom are professionally engaged in animal husbandry (sheep, bovines, and cattle). Given that in Greece the bovines are imported from countries where NDM-positive E. coli have been emerged, continuous surveillance for the detection of such strains is important. Here we describe the first bovine NDM-5 positive E. coli in central Greece.From October to December 2020, a total of 213 nonduplicated fecal samples of clinically healthy bovines from 25 different farms in Thessaly were collected. For the collection of carbapenem-resistant bacteria, the samples were plated in the CHROMagar mSuperCARBA agar plates, prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions (≤72 hours of preparation) and were incubated for 24 hours at 35°C in air atmosphere. Each morphologically different colony grown on the plates was subcultured on MacConkey agar. Identification of the isolated bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were carried out using the automated Vitek-2 system (BioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to imipenem and meropenem were determined by MIC test strip (Liofilchem), whereas determination of colistin’ MIC was performed by broth microdilution method, according to European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing guidelines.2Microorganisms that were resistant to any carbapenem were further tested for phenotypic carbapenem production using MIC test strips containing meropenem plus ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and meropenem plus phenylboronic acid (Liofilchem). Isolates that had a ratio meropenem/meropenem plus EDTA ≥8 and/or meropenem/meropenem plus phenylboronic acid ≥8 were selected for molecular detection of carbapenemase encoding genes.Bacterial DNA was extracted from overnight cultures of the selected microorganisms using the PureLink™ Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany), according to the manufacturer's instructions for Gram-negative bacteria. Detection of carbapenemase genes blaVIM, blaNDM, blaKPC, and blaOXA-48 was performed by PCR followed by sequencing analysis.Surveillance cultures showed that only one microorganism, one Escherichia coli (B103), was resistant to carbapenems, with MICs of imipenem and meropenem 64 and 32 mg/L, respectively. The isolate was also resistant to all β-lactams except aztreonam, amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and chloramphenicol, whereas it was susceptible to tigecycline, fosfomycin, and colistin. Phenotypic detection of carbapenemase showed the presence of a metallo-β lactamase that was identified as NDM-5. Escherichia coli B103 was further analyzed by whole genome sequencing.Genomic DNA was sequenced on a S5-Ion System platform. In silico multilocus sequence typing showed that the isolate belonged to ST361. The Escherichia coli B103 carried the following virulence genes capU, gad, iss. sitA, terC, and traT. Point mutations to gyrA, parC, and parE genes conferring resistance to fluoroquinolones were identified. In addition, the isolate-harbored genes conferring resistance to β-lactams [blaNDM-5 and blaTEM-1], aminoglycosides [aadA1, aadA2, aph(3′)-1a, aph(3″)-Ib, aph(6)-id, and rmtB], macrolides [mph(A)], phenicols [cmlA1 and floR], sulfonamides [sul1, sul2, and sul3], tetracycline [tet(A) and tet(M)], and trimethoprim [dfrA12] were also detected. The blaNDM-5 gene was located on an IncFII plasmid, ∼100 kb in size, that exhibited high similarity to the p52148_NDM-5 plasmid found in an E. coli isolate from Czechia.3 The blaNDM-5 was part of a gene array comprising IS26—ΔISAba125—blaNDM-5—bleMBL—IS91 family transposase—trpF—tat—sul1—qacEdelta1—aadA2 (Submission ID: SUB10011728, BioProject ID: PRJNA746426).During the past 5 years (2015–2020) ∼1.9% (107 out 5660) of E. coli isolated from humans in Thessaly were resistant to carbapenems; among them 0.7% were positive for NDM-1 and belonged to various sequence types (STs) such as 744, 998, 410, 4380, 12, 683, and 46. So, the detection of the first bovine ST361 NDM-5 positive E. coli raised the question of its origin. Surveillance fecal cultures of the farm owner and the personnel gave negative results for carbapenem-resistant bacteria. Repetitive fecal cultures from the other animals' farm did not reveal any carbapenem-resistant microorganism. The animal was imported a month ago from Czechia and possibly it was already colonized.It is known that ST361 NDM-5 positive E. coli have been detected in many countries such as South Korea, Japan, China, Switzerland, and Germany from humans, animals, and environment (rivers, sewage, and wastewater treatment plants).3–5 Screening of imported animals for carbapenem-resistant bacteria is a challenge because these micro-organisms colonize their gastrointestinal tract and can go undetectable.Authors' ContributionsAll authors reviewed and approved the final article.Disclosure StatementNo competing financial interests exist.Funding InformationThis study has been cofunded by the European Union and the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation, Ministry of Development and Investments, under the project “Novel technologies for surveillance and characterization of Extended-spectrum β-lactamase and Carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae, in humans and animals (CARBATECH)” T2DGE-0944, of the Bilateral S&T Cooperation Program Greece–Germany 2017.
