The effects of photoactivated ciprofloxacin and bile acids on biofilms on bile duct catheters.

Objectives: This study examined the potential of a novel photoactivatable ciprofloxacin to act against bacterial infections and microbiomes related to biliary diseases. It also evaluated treatment by combining the impact of bile acids and antibiotics on biofilms. Innovative strategies were evaluated to address the elusive bile duct microbiome resulting in biofilm-related infections linked to biliary catheters.

in South American Camelids in Germany: First Insights into Molecular and Genetic Characteristics and Antimicrobial Resistance.

Little is known about zoonotic pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance in South American camelids (SAC) in Germany including (.) . The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence, molecular characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of in SAC.

Portable Differential Detection of CTX-M ESBL Gene Variants, and , from Escherichia coli Isolates and Animal Fecal Samples Using Loop-Primer Endonuclease Cleavage Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification.

Cefotaximase-Munich (CTX-M) extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) enzymes produced by confer resistance to clinically relevant third-generation cephalosporins. CTX-M group 1 variants, CTX-M-1 and CTX-M-15, are the leading ESBL-producing associated with animal and human infection, respectively, and are an increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) global health concern. The and genes encoding these variants have an approximate nucleotide sequence similarity of 98.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Antimicrobial-Resistant from South American Camelids in Central Germany.

South American camelids (SAC) are increasingly kept in Europe in close contact with humans and other livestock species and can potentially contribute to transmission chains of epizootic, zoonotic and antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) agents from and to livestock and humans. Consequently, SAC were included as livestock species in the new European Animal Health Law. However, the knowledge on bacteria exhibiting AMR in SAC is too scarce to draft appropriate monitoring and preventive programs.

Derby: A Comparative Genomic Analysis of Strains From Germany.

subspecies serovar Derby (. Derby) is one of the most frequent causes for salmonellosis in humans and animals. Understanding the genetic diversity of .

Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Genomic Analysis of and , Two Rarely Detected Species.

and are two rarely detected species. In the study, we analyzed the antimicrobial susceptibility and provide detailed insights into the genotype and phylogeny of both species using whole-genome sequencing. Thermophilic species are the most common bacterial foodborne pathogens causing gastroenteritis in humans worldwide.

Draft genome sequence of multi-resistant subsp. serovar Rissen strain 19CS0416 isolated from Vietnam reveals plasmid mediated resistance to colistin already in 2013.

We report the first draft genome sequence of a strain with plasmid-mediated resistance to colistin encoded by gene in Vietnam. serovar Rissen was isolated from a Vietnamese pig slaughterhouse in 2013. We can confirm that gene is identical to the first reported gene of the strain SHP45, isolated in 2015 from a Chinese pig.
