We characterized two STEC O104 : H4 clinical isolates collected in Poland from a 7-year-old boy with haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) and his nanny. This household outbreak began on 29 May 2011. Because of its time-frame, the outbreak was assumed to be part of the international STEC O104 : H4 outbreak that arose in Germany in May 2011. The two Polish isolates were Shiga-toxin-producing Escheri...

Salmonella enterica is one of dangerous food-borne pathogens listed by the World Health Organization (WHO). In Vietnam, poultry most widely eaten meats and reported as a common source S. contamination. The aim this study was to examine multi-resistant strains, identify susceptibility antibiotics using 15 different types medications perform sequencing analyze antibiotic resistance genes, genotyp...

The increasing abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which are regarded as new pollutants, has raised public health concern. use antibiotics in aquaculture promoted the evolution and spread ARGs. occurrence ARGs attracted extensive attention. However, distribution transmission require further study. This study analyzed water sediment from intensive culture hybrid snakehead fish farm ...

The processes controlling antibiotics fate in ecosystems are poorly understood, yet their presence can inhibit bacterial growth and induce the development of resistance. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is one most frequently detected sulfonamides natural environments due to its low metabolism molecular properties. This work presents pioneering results on SMX biodegradation impact high altitude soils (Bo...

Background: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are considered to be most common food-borne enteric zoonotic pathogen, causing various disease conditions in both animals and humans highly pathogenic human low infectious doses. Resistance against antibiotics by STEC is also a big concern now days. Hence view of the public health significance STEC, present work was planned know ...

BACKGROUND The bla NDM-1 gene in Salmonella species is mostly reported in clinical cases, but is rarely isolated from red and white meat in China. METHODS A Salmonella Indiana (S. Indiana) isolate was cultured from a chicken carcass procured from a slaughterhouse in China. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested against a panel of agents. Whole-genome sequencing of the isolate was carried out...

Forty-seven Salmonella Typhimurium (33 zoonotic, 14 clinical) strains were tested for antimicrobial resistance using the standard disk diffusion method. Presence of relevant resistance genes and class 1 integrons were investigated by using PCR. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and plasmid profiling were carried out to determine the genomic diversity of Salmonella Typhimurium. Approximate...

Persistence and dispersal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are important factors for assessing ARG risk in aquaculture environments. Here, we quantitatively detected ARGs for sulphonamides (sul1 and sul2) and trimethoprim (dfrA1) and an integrase gene for a class 1 integron (intI1) at aquaculture facilities in the northern Baltic Sea, Finland. The ARGs persisted in sediments below fish far...

Poultry meat is the most common protein source of animal origin for humans. However, intensive breeding of animals in confined spaces has led to poultry colonisation by microbiota with a zoonotic potential or encoding antibiotic resistances. In this study we were therefore interested in the prevalence of selected antibiotic resistance genes and microbiota composition in feces of egg laying hens...

A total of 349 Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Choleraesuis (S. Choleraesuis) strains, which were isolated between 2008 and 2012 from 349 pigs at two slaughterhouses in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, were investigated for antimicrobial susceptibility and the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes. All isolates were resistant to at least four antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobi...
