Plasmid-Mediated Transmission of KPC-2 Carbapenemase in Enterobacteriaceae in Critically III Patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) cause health care-associated infections worldwide, and they are of severe concern due to limited treatment options. We report an outbreak of KPC-2-producing CRE that was caused by horizontal transmission of a

Virulence and Antimicrobial‐Resistant Gene Profiles of Salmonella spp. Isolates from Chicken Carcasses Markets in Ibague City, Colombia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Salmonella spp. is one of the leading causes of foodborne bacterial infections, with major impacts on public health and healthcare system. Salmonella is commonly transmitted via the fecal‐to‐oral route, and food contaminated with the bacteria (e.g., poultry products) is considered a common source of infection, being a potential risk for public health ...

Antibiogram and molecular insights into quinolone resistance in Salmonella spp. from food-producing animals in the Philippines

open access: yesJournal of Infection in Developing Countries
Introduction: The increasing quinolone resistance in food animals in the Philippines has been documented in previous studies. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for quinolone non-susceptibility ...
