Streptococcus suis Serotype 14: A Nonnegligible Zoonotic Population

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause severe infections in both humans and pigs. The prevalence of S. suis serotype 14 in sporadic cases in China has been gradually increasing during recent years. However, the current understanding of S. suis serotype 14 is limited.

Genetic Characterization of a Linezolid‐ and Penicillin‐Resistant Enterococcus hirae Isolate Co‐Harboring poxtA and pbp5fm

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Linezolid and penicillin are critical for treating multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram‐positive infections, but the emergence of resistance to both seriously threatens public health. Here, we first report the cocarrying poxtA (oxazolidinone resistance) and pbp5fm (β‐lactam resistance) genes by the plasmid in a strain of Enterococcus hirae HDC14‐2 derived ...

Genomic adaptation of Clostridium perfringens to human intestine

iMetaOmics, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2024.
This study performed genomic analysis on Clostridium perfringens from humans in China. There are regional and transregional transmissions of C. perfringens among individuals. cpe was first identified on a pCW3‐like and pCP13‐like fusion plasmid. Genomic characteristics of C. perfringens are associated with host species. Abstract Clostridium perfringens

Transferable linezolid resistance genes (optrA and poxtA) in enterococci derived from livestock compost at Japanese farms

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: Linezolid is a last-resort antimicrobial in human clinical settings to treat multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections. Mobile linezolid resistance genes (optrA, poxtA, and cfr) have been detected in various sources worldwide ...

High prevalence of avian adapted CC5 Staphylococcus aureus isolates in poultry meat in Spain: food chain as vehicle of MRSA and MSSA CC398‐t1451

International Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 59, Issue 12, Page 9180-9188, December 2024.
The food chain can be a vehicle for the transmission of Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages associated with animals such as CC5 (mainly associated with poultry) and CC398 (mainly with pigs). Summary Staphylococcus aureus can cause food poisoning and human infections and CC5 and CC398 are relevant lineages in the animal‐human interface.

Daily occupational exposure in swine farm alters human skin microbiota and antibiotic resistome

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2024.
We show that occupational exposure in a livestock environment dynamically reshaped the skin microbiome and resistome. This remodeling effect can take place within hours and the acquired pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have the potential to expand to the general population using farm workers as an ARG vector.

Occurrence of Florfenicol and Linezolid Resistance and Emergence of optrA Gene in Campylobacter coli Isolates from Tunisian Avian Farms

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Campylobacter species, especially C. coli and C. jejuni, have been associated with a range of human gastrointestinal diseases. During the last two decades, due to the irrational use of antibiotics in poultry farms, high rates of antimicrobial resistance have been globally reported in C. coli and C. jejuni isolates.

Wild Birds as Drivers of Salmonella Braenderup and Multidrug Resistant Bacteria in Wetlands of Northern Italy

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
In this study, the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains obtained from wild avian species recovered in wetlands of Northern Italy were described. Cloacal swabs collected from 67 aquatic birds, hunted or found dead in two private hunting grounds, were submitted to microbiological investigations and antimicrobial susceptibility testing ...

Characterization of a Linezolid- and Vancomycin-Resistant Streptococcus suis Isolate That Harbors optrA and vanG Operons

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Linezolid and vancomycin are among the last-resort antimicrobial agents in the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections. Linezolid- and vancomycin-resistant (LVR) Gram-positive bacteria may pose severe threats to public health.
