| Abstract |
This study aimed to identify and characterize extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae among clinical samples of companion animals. A total of 346 non-duplicate Enterobacteriaceae isolates were collected between 2012 and 2016 from diseased cats (n = 115) and dogs (n = 231). The presence of blaESBL, PMQR genes, and the azithromycin resistance gene mph(A) was confirmed by PCR and sequencing of bla genes. Isolates were further characterized by antimicrobial resistance profiling, multilocus sequence typing, phylogenetic grouping, identification of mutations in the QRDR of gyrA and parC, and screening for virulence-associated genes. Among the 346 isolates, 72 (20.8%) were confirmed ESBL producers [58 Escherichia coli (E. coli), 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), and 3 Enterobacter cloacae]. The strains were cultured from urine (n = 45), skin and skin wounds (n = 8), abscesses (n = 6), surgical sites (n = 6), bile (n = 4), and other sites (n = 3). ESBL genes included blaCTX-M-1, 14, 15, 27, 55, and blaSHV-12, predominantly blaCTX-M-15 (54.8%, 40/73), and blaCTX-M-1 (24.7%, 18/73). Further genes included qnrB (4.2%, 3/72), qnrS (9.7%, 7/72), aac(6')-Ib-cr (47.2%, 34/72), and mph(A) (38.9%, 28/72). Seventeen (23.6%) isolates belonged to the major lineages of human pathogenic K. pneumoniae ST11, ST15, and ST147 and E. coli ST131. The most prevalent ST was E. coli ST410 belonging to phylogenetic group C. The high prevalence of ESBL producing clinical Enterobacteriaceae from cats and dogs in Switzerland and the presence of highly virulent human-related K. pneumoniae and E. coli clones raises concern about transmission prevention as well as infection management and prevention in veterinary medicine. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 May 2018.
All research outputs
#14,379,536
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Veterinary Science
#2,324
of 6,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#187,317
of 330,033 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Veterinary Science
#48
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,329 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,033 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
