Virulome–resistome convergence in swine-associated multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli from Hungary: virulence marker profiles and zoonotic potential

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundSwine production can sustain dense reservoirs of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli in which mobilizable resistance may co-occur with virulence modules relevant to animal health and One Health risk. We profiled the virulome of Hungarian

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hypermucoviscous and aerobactin positive) infection over 6 years in the elderly in China: antimicrobial resistance patterns, molecular epidemiology and risk factor

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2019
Background The definition of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp), traditionally regarded as hypermucoviscosity, is controversial. However, data based on both phenotype (hypermucoviscous) and genetic (aerobactin) criteria are limited.

Transition metal ions at the crossroads of mucosal immunity and microbial pathogenesis. [PDF]

, 2014
Transition metal ions are essential micronutrients for all living organisms. In mammals, these ions are often protein-bound and sequestered within cells, limiting their availability to microbes. Moreover, in response to infection, mammalian hosts further
