Antibiotic resistance in mastitis-causing bacteria: Exploring antibiotic-resistance genes, underlying mechanisms, and their implications for dairy animal and public health.
The study identifies several AMR genes and mutations in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci associated with mastitis, including blaZ, mecA, tetK, tetM, aphA3, aacA-aphD, aadD, ermA, msrA, mphC, lnuB, and vanA, which confer resistance to various antibiotics such as β-lactams, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and glycopeptides.
Antimicrobials Resistance Profiling and Clonal Lineages of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Cockroaches in University-Affiliated Hospitals, 2023.
The study identified several aminoglycoside resistance genes (aac(6')-Ie+aph(2"), ant(4')-Ia, aph(3')-IIIa, ant(6)-Ia) and quaternary ammonium compound resistance genes (qacA/B, qacC, qacD, smr) in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cockroaches in hospital environments. Additionally, the vanA gene was detected in one isolate, indicating vancomycin resistance.
Genomic Insights into Multidrug-resistant Mammaliicoccus sciuri Carrying Novel Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Elements and Plasmids from Farm Ruminants on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
The study identified multiple antimicrobial resistance genes in four multidrug-resistant Mammaliicoccus sciuri isolates from farm ruminants in Peninsular Malaysia, including mecA, ermY, mphC, msrA, tetL, tetS, aadD, ant(6)-Ia, aac(6')-Ie-aph(2")-Ia, fexA, icaA, icaB, icaC, icaD, icaR, sspA, ndk, and lgt. These genes confer resistance to various antibiotics, including β-lactams, macrolides, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and chloramphenicol.
