Rabies Vaccine Baits, Pennsylvania

چکیده
associated with E. faecium swine strains, might mirror wide dissemination of a host-specific clone more prone than others to acquire and spread different antimicrobial resistance, as reported for human clinical E. faecium isolates (9). Since enterococci from swine are able to colonize in the human gut (5,7) and isolates harboring purK-9 can be recovered from hospitalized patients with severe infections (10), specific swine enterococcal strains might represent a risk for antimicrobial resistance spread in the clinical setting. Further analyses need to be performed to understand the role of international animal movements, animal feed, and colonized farmers in the spread of this particular strain and to assess whether this clone shows an increased fitness in the porcine intestine when compared to other E. faecium strains.

متن کاملOral Vaccination Campaigns of Dogs against Rabies
Effective control of terrestrial wildlife rabies seemed almost impossible in Europe until the development of oral vaccination. Nowadays, oral vaccination of foxes (Vulpes vulpes) by distributing vaccine baits is the method of choice in rabies control in most European countries. Consequently, large areas are now rabies-free and here baits are no longer distributed or the distribution of baits is...
