ABSTRACT
Escherichia coli, as a global source of antimicrobial resistance, is a serious veterinary and public health concern. The transmission of pathogenic multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli within diarrheic calves and its correlation with Musca domestica and milk strains have been investigated. In total, 110, 80, and 26 E. coli strains were obtained from 70 rectal swabs from diarrheic calves, 60 milk samples and 20 M. domestica, respectively. Molecular pathotyping of E. coli revealed the presence of pathogenic E. coli with a higher percentage of shigatoxigenic strains within diarrheic calves and M. domestica at 46.4% and 34.6%, respectively. Phenotypic antimicrobial resistance revealed higher ß-lactams resistance except for cefquinome that exhibited low resistance in M.domestica and milk strains at 30.8% and 30%, respectively. The extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC) resistant strains were detected within fecal, M. domestica, and milk strains at 69.1%, 73.1%, and 71.3%, respectively. All E. coli strains isolated from M. domestica exhibited MDR, while fecal and milk strains were harboring MDR at 99.1% and 85%, respectively. Molecular detection of resistant genes revealed the predominance of the blaTEM gene, while none of these strains harbored the blaOXA gene. The highest percentages for blaCTXM and blaCMYII genes were detected in M. domestica strains at 53.8% and 61.5%, respectively. Regarding colistin resistance, the mcr-1 gene was detected only in fecal and milk strains at 35.5% and 15%, respectively. A high frequency of phylogroup B2 was detected within fecal and M. domestica strains, while milk strains were mainly assigned to the B1 phylogroup. Pathogenic E. coli strains with the same phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance and phylogroups were identified for both diarrheic calves and M. domestica, suggesting that the possible role of M. domestica in disseminating pathogenic strains and antimicrobial resistance in dairy farms.
