Of forty-seven extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli isolates, collected from children at the Children's Hospital in 2006 (Tunis, Tunisia), we analyzed 32 isolates that were genotypically different by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus -polymerase chain reaction. For all isolates, the double-disk diffusion test revealed synergy between clavulanate and cefotaxime and/or ceftazidime, suggesting the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. Polymerase chain reaction experiments, performed on plasmid DNA, and sequencing revealed the presence of bla(TEM-1B) (26 isolates, 81%), bla(TEM-34(IRT-6)) (3 isolates, 9%), bla(SHV-12) (2 isolates, 6%), and bla(CTX-M-15) (31 isolates, 97%). Further, the insertion sequence ISEcp1 was found upstream from the bla(CTX-M-15) gene in 11 isolates. The bla genes were found alone or in various combinations in a single isolate. bla(TEM-1B) and bla(CTX-M-15) genes were detected in 26 out of the 32 isolates. Three isolates harbored both bla(TEM-34(IRT-6)) and bla(CTX-M-15). bla(SHV-12) was identified either alone or with bla(CTX-M-15) in a single isolate. Our investigation showed the dominance of CTX-M-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, with CTX-M-15 particularly common, and to our best knowledge, this is the first report of the coexistence of CTX-M-15 and IRT-6 in E. coli isolates from children in Tunisia.
