Molecular characterization of from diabetic foot infections in Tunisia.

is an invasive organism that frequently causes severe tissue damage in diabetic foot ulcers. The characterisation of P. aeruginosa strains isolated from diabetic foot infections has not been carried out in Tunisia.

Surveillance of from Diabetic Foot Infections in a Tunisian Hospital: Detection of ST131- and -ST1- Strains.

The study determined the prevalence, antimicrobial resistant (AMR) determinants, and genetic characteristics of and isolates from patients with diabetic foot infection (DFI) in a Tunisian hospital. A total of 26 spp. and spp.

Beyond the Wild MRSA: Genetic Features and Phylogenomic Review of -Mediated Methicillin Resistance in Non- Staphylococci and Mammaliicocci.

Methicillin resistance, mediated by the gene in staphylococci and mammaliicocci, has caused tremendous setbacks in the use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine due to its high potential of presenting the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype. Three other analogs exist, of which the has evolutionary been associated with methicillin-resistant (MRSA) in wild animals, thus loosely referred to as the wild MRSA. In this study, we present an epidemiological review and genomic analysis of non- staphylococci and mammaliicocci that carry the -mediated methicillin resistance trait and determine whether this trait has any relevant link with the One Health niches.

High Prevalence of GES-5 Variant and Co-Expression of VIM-2 and GES-45 among Clinical Strains in Tunisia.

Carbapenem-resistant (CRPA) are a global health concern. The antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and molecular typing of 57 CRPA isolated from 43 patients who attended a specific Tunisian hospital from September 2018 to July 2019 were analyzed. All but one were multidrug-resistant CRPA, and 77% were difficult-to-treat-resistant (DTR) isolates.

Persistence of spp. in Poultry Flocks after Disinfection, Virulence, and Antimicrobial Resistance Traits of Recovered Isolates.

To investigate the persistence risk of spp. in poultry farms, and to study the virulence and antimicrobial resistance characteristics in the recovered strains, we collected 362 samples from breeding hen flocks, before and after disinfection. The virulence factors were investigated by targeting the genes; , , , , , , , , , , , , and by PCR.
