Overview
Antibiotic Resistance in Animal and Environmental Samples Associated with Small-Scale Poultry Farming in Northwestern Ecuador.
The study identified high levels of antibiotic resistance in E. coli isolates from production birds compared to household birds, highlighting the role of small-scale poultry farming in the spread of antibiotic resistance.
Horizontal Gene Transfer, Fitness Costs and Mobility Shape the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance Genes into Experimental Populations of Acinetobacter Baylyi.
The study shows that antibiotic resistance genes can spread between species without selection, and the persistence of resistance depends on fitness costs and the genetic element bearing resistance. Specifically, rpoB and gyrA mutations confer resistance to rifampicin and ciprofloxacin respectively, while an integron containing multiple resistance genes confers resistance to aminoglycosides.
Dissemination of mcr-1 and β-lactamase genes among Pseudomonas aeruginosa: molecular characterization of MDR strains in broiler chicks and dead-in-shell chicks infections.
The study identified the presence of mcr-1 and various β-lactamase genes, including bla TEM, bla SHV, bla CTX-M, and bla OXA-10, in multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from broiler and dead-in-shell chicks in Egypt.
