TLDR
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing E. coli isolates are prevalent amongst healthy individuals, foods along the food production chain from farms to consumers, and in the environment in selected areas in Thailand.Abstract:
Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli, in samples from healthy adults, foods, food animals, and the environment in selected areas of Thailand.Methods:Samples were collected from stool specimens from adult food factory and food animal farm workers, fresh and cooked foods sold at markets, rectal swabs of healthy pigs and chickens, fresh pork meat from slaughterhouses, water samples from canals as well as fish and shrimp farm ponds, and stagnant water sources on pig farms. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using the disk diffusion or agar dilution methods. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production was assayed using a double disk diffusion method.Results:Among 544 healthy adult food factory workers, 75·5% were positive for ESBL producing E. coli, while 77·3% of E. coli isolated from 30 healthy animal farm workers were positive. Amongst healthy food animals...read more

Antibiotic Resistance in the Food Chain: A Developing Country-Perspective.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of antibiotic resistance from farm-to-fork is presented, which covers the origin of antibiotic resistant bacteria, pathways by which bacteria spread to humans from farm to fork, differences in levels of antibiotics resistance between developed and developing countries, and prevention and containment measures of antibiotics in the food chain, and concludes that countries should follow the World Health Organization, World Organization for Animal Health, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recommendations to implement national action plans encompassing human, (food) animal, and environmental sectors to improve policies, interventions and activities

TL;DR: More rapid diagnostic testing of ESBL-producing bacteria and the possible modification of guidelines for community-onset bacteraemia associated with UTIs are required.

Emergence of Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in the community
TL;DR: A heightened awareness of these organisms by clinicians and enhanced testing by laboratories, including molecular surveillance studies, is required to reduce treatment failures, to limit their introduction into hospitals and to prevent the spread of these emerging pathogens within the community.

Trends in human fecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamases in the community: toward the globalization of CTX-M.
TL;DR: It is suggested that CTX-M carriage is evolving toward a global pandemic but is still insufficiently described, and only a better knowledge of its dynamics and biology will lead to further development of appropriate control measures.

Animal reservoirs for extended spectrum β-lactamase producers
TL;DR: The increasing occurrence of extended spectrum β-lactamase producers in animals is highlighted and discussed in this review with respect to the circulation of these resistance traits also among human pathogens.
