Modified multiplex PCR for serotyping and pathotyping of .

is a zoonotic pathogen that causes invasive infections in humans who have been in close contact with infected pigs or contaminated pork-derived products. There is currently no consensus on the universal virulence factors or markers that can differentiate pathogenic from non-pathogenic or commensal isolates. A diagnostic tool for serotyping and pathotyping of is required for active public health surveillance and the One-Health approach.

Genomic analysis and virulence of human Streptococcus suis serotype 14.

Purpose: Streptococcus suis serotype 14 is the second most prevalent serotype being highly prevalent in Southeast Asia. This study aimed to characterize genetic background, population structure, virulent genes, antimicrobial-resistant genes, and virulence of human S. suis serotype 14.

Antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli in cats and their drinking water: drug resistance profiles and antimicrobial-resistant genes.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern that is exacerbated by the transmission of bacteria and genetic material between humans, animals and the environment. This study investigated AMR of Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from cats' feces and their drinking water.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Profiles of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Multidrug-Resistant in Northeastern Thailand.

The global emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing presents a significant public health threat and complicates antibiotic treatment for infections. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-producing in a clinical setting, analyze their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, and characterize both phenotypic and genetic determinants. A total of 507 non-duplicate clinical isolates of were collected between 2019 and 2020, and third-generation cephalosporin resistance was screened by disk diffusion.

High prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli phylogroup B2 clinical isolates in northeastern Thailand.

Background: Production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is a common resistance mechanism in Enterobacteriaceae, leading to serious hospital-acquired infections. This study aimed to assess phenotypic, phylogenetic, and antibiotic resistance patterns among ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates recovered from two rural tertiary hospitals in Thailand.

Results: Among 467 Enterobacteriaceae isolates, E.
