Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection of the O25b-ST131 clone of Escherichia coli encompassing the CTX-M-15-producing strains
Olivier Clermont,Hiran Dhanji,Mathew Upton,Tarek M. Gibreel,Andrew J. Fox,David A. Boyd,Michael R. Mulvey,Patrice Nordmann,Etienne Ruppé,J. L. Sarthou,Thierry Frank,Thierry Frank,Sophie Vimont,Guillaume Arlet,Catherine Branger,Neil Woodford,Erick Denamur +16 more
TL;DR: A PCR-based assay is developed that easily identifies a clone with high likelihood of producing ESBLs, including CTX-M-15, which represents 3% of non-ESBL B2 isolates originating from urinary tract infections in Paris.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli diffusing clone belongs to a highly virulent B2 phylogenetic subgroup
Olivier Clermont,Marie Lavollay,Sophie Vimont,Catherine Deschamps,Christiane Forestier,Catherine Branger,Erick Denamur,Guillaume Arlet +7 more
TL;DR: The CTX-M-15-producing E. coli diffusing clone is associated with a high level of antibiotic resistance and with high virulence, showing that, under certain selective pressures, the previously observed trade-off between resistance and virulence may not apply.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute Pyelonephritis Represents a Risk Factor Impairing Long‐Term Kidney Graft Function
Gaëlle Pellé,Sophie Vimont,Pierre Levy,Alexandre Hertig,Nacera Ouali,Cécilia Chassin,Guillaume Arlet,Eric Rondeau,Alain Vandewalle +8 more
TL;DR: Multivariate analysis revealed that APN represents an independent risk factor associated with the decline of renal function (p = 0.034), and may be associated with an enduring decrease in renal graft function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of addiction systems of plasmids encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamases in Escherichia coli
Basma Mnif,Sophie Vimont,Anders Boyd,Emilie Bourit,Bertrand Picard,Catherine Branger,Erick Denamur,Guillaume Arlet +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the addiction systems carried by the replicons involved in the emergence and spread of ESBLs in relation to ESBL and replicon types found that plasmids bearing the bla(CTX-M) gene have multiple addiction systems that could contribute to their maintenance in host strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli clone O25b: H4-ST131 has high intestine colonization and urinary tract infection abilities.

TL;DR: It is shown that a representative isolate of this E. coli clone, referred to as TN03, has enhanced metabolic capacities, acts as a potent intestine- colonizing strain, and displays the typical features of UPEC strains.
