Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Michio Jinnai"
- Michio Jinnai's recent research focuses on the prevalence and genetic mechanisms of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly examining extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers and plasmid-mediated resistance in food products from Vietnam and Japan.
- His studies reveal alarming rates of antibiotic-resistant strains, such as ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Vibrio species, in various edible river fish and chicken meat, highlighting critical public health threats associated with food consumption.
- Jinnai also explores innovative methods for outbreak investigation, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, demonstrating its potential for quicker identification of Legionella isolates compared to traditional genetic typing methods.
