Third‐Generation Cephalosporin‐Resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia coli From Community‐ and Hospital‐Acquired Infections Show High Level of Antibiotic Resistance and Specific Virulence Traits

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Escherichia coli is a leading cause of both community‐acquired and nosocomial infections. In particular, E. coli is responsible for 90% of all uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and 65% of complicated UTIs. Among complicated UTIs, those caused by third‐generation cephalosporin (3GC)–resistant E.

Emergence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance (PMQR) Genes in Campylobacter coli in Tunisia and Detection of New Sequence Type ST13450

Antibiotics
The aim of this study is to investigate the occurrence of plasmid mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants in Campylobacter coli isolates collected from broilers, laying hens and poultry farm environments. One hundred and thirty-nine C. coli isolates were isolated from broilers (n = 41), laying hens (n = 53), eggs (n = 4) and the environment ...

Molecular Characteristics of Epidemiologically Successful Salmonella Enteritidis in Poland

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Since 2014, the long‐term decreasing trend in human salmonellosis, caused mainly by the consumption of Salmonella‐contaminated poultry products, has stagnated in the European Union (EU). As Poland has been the leading poultry meat producer in the EU since 2014, we analysed whole genome sequences of 275 Salmonella (S.) Enteritidis strains from the ...

The Prevalence Rates of Colistin Resistance Among Third‐Generation Cephalosporin‐Resistant E. coli Isolates From Thai Patients

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Drug‐resistant infections, such as colistin resistance, are reportedly increasing due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics, lack of good control, and the use of excessive quantities of antibiotics. Colistin resistance has been observed in bacteria of the order Enterobacterales exhibiting resistance to third‐generation cephalosporins or carbapenems ...

Technical specifications for a EU‐wide baseline survey of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from aquaculture animals

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested scientific and technical assistance in the preparation of a EU‐wide baseline survey of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria from aquaculture animals. It is recommended that the survey would aim at estimating the occurrence of AMR in Aeromonas spp.

Genomic characterization of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing and carbapenem‐resistant Escherichia coli from urban wastewater in Australia

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2024.
This study investigates extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐producing and carbapenem‐resistant Escherichia coli isolates from Sydney's wastewater. These isolates exhibit resistance to critical antibiotics and harbor novel resistance mechanisms. The findings highlight the importance of wastewater‐based surveillance in monitoring resistance beyond the ...
