Domestic reptiles as source of zoonotic bacteria: A mini review

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2017
Captive reptiles, always more often present in domestic environment as pets, may harbor and excrete a large variety of zoonotic pathogens. Among them, Salmonella is the most well-known agent, whereas there are very scant data about infections by mycobacteria, chlamydiae and leptospirae in cold-blooded animals.

Medicare Part D and Hospital Admissions due to Antimicrobial Resistance

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been increasing rapidly in the United States despite government efforts to contain its spread. Both under‐utilization and overuse of prescribed antimicrobials contribute to rising resistance. The introduction of Medicare Part D in 2006 expanded prescription drug coverage for the elderly, including coverage ...

Rapid reconstruction of multidrug‐resistant bacterial genomes using CycloneSEQ nanopore sequencing

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria commonly harbor highly complex genomes enriched with mobile elements and resistance islands, which are challenging to resolve using short‐read sequencing. Here, we evaluated CycloneSEQ, a newly developed Chinese nanopore sequencing platform, for MDR genome reconstruction.

Role of rodents in transmission of Salmonella and Campylobacter [PDF]

, 2007
Salmonella and Campylobacter are generally regarded as the most important food-borne pathogens in the world. Reduction or elimination of these pathogens in the first part of the food chain (on the farm) is important to prevent disease among consumers of ...

Antimicrobial susceptibility profile of oral and rectal microbiota of non‐human primate species in Ghana: A threat to human health

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background The potential for the transfer of zoonotic diseases, including bacteria between human and non‐human primates (NHPs), is expected to rise. It is posited that NHPs that live in close contact with humans serve as sentinels and reservoirs for ...

First investigation of pathogenic bacteria, protozoa and viruses in rodents and shrews in context of forest-savannah-urban areas interface in the city of Franceville (Gabon).

PLoS ONE, 2021
Rodents are reservoirs of numerous zoonotic diseases caused by bacteria, protozoans, or viruses. In Gabon, the circulation and maintenance of rodent-borne zoonotic infectious agents are poorly studied and are often limited to one type of pathogen.

Modeling Factors Associated With Diarrhea Caused by Cryptosporidium Species Using Machine Learning Methods

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study applies machine learning methods, specifically Random Forest and Bagged CART, to classify Cryptosporidium spp. infections among children and identify key risk factors. The Bagged CART model demonstrated superior sensitivity and predictive performance, highlighting household crowding and water source as the most influential determinants of ...
