glycopeptide resistance
Overview
Antibiotic susceptibilities of enterococcus species isolated from hospital and domestic wastewater effluents in alice, eastern cape province of South Africa.
The study identified the presence of vancomycin resistance genes (vanB, vanC1, vanC2/3) and the macrolide resistance gene erm(B) in Enterococcus isolates from hospital wastewater and final effluent of a wastewater treatment plant in South Africa.
Virulence and antimicrobial resistance factors of Enterococcusspp. isolated from fecal samples from piggery farms in Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The study identified vancomycin resistance genes (vanB, vanC1, vanC2/3), erythromycin resistance gene (ermB), and streptomycin resistance gene (strA) in Enterococcus spp. isolated from pig fecal samples. High levels of multidrug resistance were observed, with resistance to vancomycin, erythromycin, and streptomycin being particularly prevalent.
The resistomes of Mycobacteroides abscessus complex and their possible acquisition from horizontal gene transfer.
The study identifies numerous AMR genes in Mycobacteroides abscessus complex, highlighting the widespread presence of resistance to multiple antibiotic classes, including beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, and others. Key findings include the detection of beta-lactamases like blaLAP-1 and blaTLA-2, 23S rRNA methyltransferases such as erm(33), erm(43), and erm(44), and various aminoglycoside modifying enzymes. Additionally, vancomycin resistance genes like vanA, vanB, and vanC were identified, along with efflux pump genes contributing to multidrug resistance.
