Background: Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) producing OXA-48-like carbapenemase was first detected in Hungary in 2022. The aim of the present study was to characterize such strains isolated in 2022–2025 in Baranya County, Hungary....
The global incidence of Salmonella enterica serovar Schwarzengrund has risen in recent years. This serotype has been isolated from poultry, retail meat, and other food products, leading to multiple outbreaks. Alongside the increase in infections, the...
Aquaculture systems are widely recognised as hotspots for horizontal gene transfer, and the need for screening for bacteria carrying antimicrobial resistance genes in aquaculture systems is becoming more important. In this study, we characterised sev...
Background: Aztreonam–avibactam (ATM-AVI) is an important therapeutic option for infections caused by metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales. However, the emergence of resistance may limit its clinical effectiveness. Here, we repor...
E. coli that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are major multidrug-resistant bacteria. In Peru, only a few reports have characterised the whole genome of ESBL enterobacteria. We aimed to confirm the identity and antimicrobial resist...
Knowledge about the potential roles of pets as reservoirs for plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance is still limited in Türkiye. Thus, in our study, the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone genes (qnrA, qnrB and qnrS) was examined by multiplex...
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is an important foodborne pathogen and a biomarker for monitoring antimicrobial resistance. Investigating the prevalence of E. coli in the poultry industry holds great importance, particularly in Henan province, a major pou...
Background: Wastewater is a major source of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (ARB) and a hotspot for the exchange of Antibiotic-Resistant Genes (ARGs). The occurrence of Carbapenem-Resistant Bacteria (CRB) in wastewater samples is a major public health...
The resistome, virulome and mobilome of extended spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) isolated from pigs in Cameroon and South Africa were assessed using whole genome sequencing (WGS). Eleven clonally related phenoty...
