Transmission dynamics of a linear vanA-plasmid during a nosocomial multiclonal outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in a non-endemic area, Japan

Scientific Reports, 2021
The spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is a major threat in nosocomial settings. A large-scale multiclonal VRE outbreak has rarely been reported in Japan due to low VRE prevalence. We evaluated the transmission of vancomycin resistance in a

ddcP, pstB, and excess D-lactate impact synergism between vancomycin and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecium 1,231,410.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important nosocomial pathogens that cause life-threatening infections. To control hospital-associated infections, skin antisepsis and bathing utilizing chlorhexidine is recommended for VRE patients in acute care

Antimicrobial Resistance at the Human–Animal–Environment Interface: A One Health Perspective on Drivers, Transmission, and Public Health Responses

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat driven by interconnected antimicrobial use and environmental pressures across human, animal, and ecological systems. This review synthesizes current evidence on the major drivers, transmission pathways, reservoirs, surveillance challenges, and public health responses ...

On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1478-1491, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.

Nanopore Long‐Read Metagenomics Reveals Pollution‐Driven Antibiotic Resistance and Xenobiotic Degradation in Urban Beach Microbiomes

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Using nanopore metagenomics, this study reveals that anthropogenic pollution drives ecological and functional shifts in coastal microbiomes. Pristine island environments act as stable, Prochlorococcus‐dominated baselines, whereas urban beaches function as hotspots for opportunistic taxa, harbouring a robust genomic potential for xenobiotic degradation ...

Molecular detection and occurrence of vancomycin resistance genes (van A, B, C1, C2/C3) among Enterococcus species isolated from farm ostriches

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Background Evaluating the prevalence of vancomycin resistance genes (van genes) in enterococcal isolates from food‐producing animals is an important public health issue because of the possibility of resistance genes spread to human.

Aristocratic identification in Felix’s Life of Guthlac

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 435-457, August 2026.
Recent scholarship often sees high‐born monastics and clerics in early Christian England as part of the aristocratic class. Modern identity theories, however, suggest that social identity could be dynamic, situational, processual and discursive. In light of this concept, the present article reads Felix’s Life of Guthlac as a text that constructs an ...
