Abstract: Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) fecal carriage in children with different cancers admitted in the pediatric oncology unit of Beni-Messous Hospital (Algiers, Algeria). Materials and Methods: Rectal swabs from children with cancer were sampled from February 2012 to May 2013 within 48 hours following their admission. After species identification and detection of ESBL production by double-disk synergy test (DD test), antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the standard disk diffusion method. Antibiotic resistance genes, including bla genes and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes, were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The phylogenetic grouping of Escherichia coli strains was determined by PCR. Results: Of the 171 children studied, 93 (54%) were ESBL carriers. An antibiotic treatment for the last 3 months before admission (p = 0.01), hematological malignancies (p = 0.003), and death (p = 0.0003) were more frequent in the ESBL-E group than in the non-ESBL group. Multivariate analysis showed that hematological malignancies (odds ratio [OR]: 3.9; confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–14.1; p = 0.04) and ESBL-E carriage (OR: 6.2; CI: 1.7–22.00; p = 0.005) were two independent factors associated with increased risk of death. A total of 103 ESBL-E isolates were obtained. Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli isolates were the most frequently isolated. PCR amplification showed that all the isolates produced a CTX-M ESBL (CTX-M-15, CTX-M-14, and CTX-M-3). The PMQR genes detected were qnrB, qnrS, and aac(6′)-Ib-cr. E. coli isolates were assigned to four major extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli phylogroups, including B2 and D. Conclusion: This study provides, for the first time, insight into epidemiology of the ESBL-E fecal carriage among children with cancer in Algeria.
