    La rĂ©sistance aux antimicrobiens constitue un problĂšme de santĂ© mondial, et la prĂ©valence Ă©levĂ©e d'Escherichia coli producteurs de bĂȘta-lactamases Ă  spectre Ă©tendu (BLSE) et de Staphylococcus aureus rĂ©sistant Ă  la mĂ©thicilline (SARM) est particuliĂšrement prĂ©occupante. L'analyse du sĂ©quençage complet du gĂ©nome d’isolats communautaires est essentielle pour comprendre la circulation de ces bactĂ©ries multirĂ©sistantes. Notre principal objectif Ă©tait de dĂ©terminer la structure de la population des souches d’E. coli BLSE et de SARM cliniques isolĂ©s en milieu communautaire d'une rĂ©gion française. À cette fin, des isolats ont Ă©tĂ© collectĂ©s Ă  partir de 23 sites appartenant Ă  6 laboratoires de biologie mĂ©dicale privĂ©s de la rĂ©gion Bourgogne-Franche-ComtĂ©. Cent quatre-vingt-dix E. coli BLSE et 67 SARM ont Ă©tĂ© sĂ©quencĂ©s Ă  l'aide de la technologie Illumina. Des analyses gĂ©nomiques ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es pour rechercher la prĂ©sence de gĂšnes de rĂ©sistance aux antibiotiques et aux mĂ©taux ainsi que de gĂšnes de virulence. L'analyse a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© que ST131 Ă©tait le principal clone d’E. coli BLSE circulant dans la rĂ©gion, reprĂ©sentant 42,1 % des isolats d’E. coli BLSE. Les gĂšnes blaCTX-M reprĂ©sentaient 98 % de blaESBL, la majoritĂ© Ă©tant blaCTX-M-15 (53,9 %). La population de SARM se composait principalement de complexes clonaux CC8 (50,7 %) et CC5 (38,8 %). De maniĂšre intĂ©ressante, nous avons constatĂ© une prĂ©valence de 40 % du gĂšne de rĂ©sistance au zinc czrC dans notre population de SARM. Nous n'avons observĂ© aucune diffĂ©rence dans nos populations d’E. coli BLSE ou de SARM entre les zones urbaines et rurales de notre rĂ©gion française, suggĂ©rant ainsi qu'il n'y a pas d'impact de la densitĂ© de population ou de l'environnement rural

    SARS‐CoV‐2 respiratory viral loads and association with clinical and biological features

    International audienceTo determine the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) respiratory viral loads (VL) during the acute phase of infection and their correlation with clinical presentation and inflammation-related biomarkers. Nasopharyngeal swabs from 453 adult SARS-CoV-2-infected patients from the Department of Infectious Diseases, Besançon, France, were collected at the time of admission or consultation for reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. Clinical information and concentrations of biological parameters (C-reactive protein [CRP], fibrinogen, lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], prealbumin) were noticed. Mean respiratory VL homogeneously decreased from 7.2 log10 copies/ml (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.6-7.8) on the first day of symptoms until 4.6 log10 copies/ml (95% CI: 3.8-5.4) at day 10 (slope = -0.24; R2 = .95). VL were poorly correlated with COVID-19 symptoms and outcome, excepted for dyspnea and anosmia, which were significantly associated with lower VL (p < .05). CRP, fibrinogen, and LDH concentrations significantly increased over the first 10 days (median CRP concentrations from 36.8 mg/L at days 0-1 to 99.5 mg/L at days 8-10; p < .01), whereas prealbumin concentrations tended to decrease. Since SARS-CoV-2 respiratory VL regularly decrease in the acute phase of infection, determining the level of VL may help predicting the onset of virus shedding in a specific patient. However, the role of SARS-CoV-2 VL as a biomarker of severity is limited

    Effect of a karst system (France) on extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli

    International audienceKarst aquifers are an important water resource worldwide particularly exposed to anthropogenic pollution, including antibiotic-resistance. The release of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens in the environment is a major public health challenge worldwide. In this One Health study, we aimed to determine the effect of karst on antibiotic-resistant bacteria. For this purpose, we determined the concentrations of extended-spectrum ÎČ-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) for 92 weeks in a rural karst hydrosystem providing drinking water. ESBL-Ec isolates (n = 130) were sequenced by whole genome sequencing. We analysed the isolates at different levels of granularity, i.e., phylogroup, sequence type, presence of antibiotic-resistance genes, mutations conferring antibiotic-resistance, and virulence genes. The ESBL-Ec concentrations were spatially and temporally heterogeneous in the studied karst hydrosystem. ESBL-Ec isolates survived in the karst and their concentrations were mostly explained by the hydrodynamic of the hydrosystem. We demonstrate that the studied karst has no filtration effect on ESBL-Ec, either quantitatively (i.e., in the ESBL-Ec concentrations) or qualitatively (i.e., in the genetic characteristics of ESBL-Ec isolates)
