A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Acinetobacter radioresistensas a Silent Source of Carbapenem Resistance forAcinetobacterspp [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2008
ABSTRACTCarbapenem resistance results mostly from the expression of acquired carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinases inAcinetobacter baumannii. TheblaOXA-23oxacillinase gene is increasingly reported worldwide and may represent an emerging threat. Our goal was to identify the progenitor of that carbapenemase gene. A collection of 50Acinetobactersp. strains
