Bacteria from Animals as a Pool of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes [PDF]

Antibiotics, 2017
Antimicrobial agents are used in both veterinary and human medicine. The intensive use of antimicrobials in animals may promote the fixation of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria, which may be zoonotic or capable to transfer these genes to human-adapted pathogens or to human gut microbiota via direct contact, food or the environment.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Swine Fecal Specimens Across Different Farm Management Systems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Antimicrobial use in agricultural animals is known to be associated with increases in antimicrobial resistance. Most prior studies have utilized culture and susceptibility testing of select organisms to document these phenomena. In this study we aimed to

A glimpse of antimicrobial resistance gene diversity in kefir and yoghurt [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat gaining more and more practical significance every year. The protection of bacteria against antimicrobials based on antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) developed in evolution. One of the essential clinical questions is the origin of ARGs of pathogen bacteria.

Occurrence of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial resistance genes in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from healthy rabbits

Veterinary World, 2022
Background and Aim: Methicillin-resistant globally, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of disease in both humans and animals. Several studies have documented the presence of MRSA in healthy and infected animals. However, there is less information on MRSA occurrence in exotic pets, especially healthy rabbits. This study aimed to look into the
