Exploring the genomic and antimicrobial resistance tapestry: comparative insights into serotypes Agona, Braenderup, Muenchen, and Panama in Latin American surface waters.

Surface waters function as ecological niches where can persist and disseminate to fresh produce production systems. We examined the genomic characteristics of serotypes Agona ( = 86), Braenderup ( = 47), Muenchen ( = 53), and Panama ( = 69) isolates from surface waters in Chile, Mexico, and Brazil between 2019 and 2022. Mexican isolates consistently displayed a higher occurrence of genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) than Chilean and Brazilian isolates.

Oxford Nanopore long read-based shotgun metagenomic data sets of simulated bacterial communities originating from fresh spinach and surface water.

Oxford Nanopore long reads of simulated bacterial communities from fresh spinach and surface water were generated (R9.4.1+SQK-LSK109 and R10.

Integrative genome-centric metagenomics for surface water surveillance: Elucidating microbiomes, antimicrobial resistance, and their associations.

Surface water ecosystems are intimately intertwined with anthropogenic activities and have significant public health implications as primary sources of irrigation water in agricultural production. Our extensive metagenomic analysis examined 404 surface water samples from four different geological regions in Chile and Brazil, spanning irrigation canals (n = 135), rivers (n = 121), creeks (n = 74), reservoirs (n = 66), and ponds (n = 8). Overall, 50.

A multicenter genomic epidemiological investigation in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico reveals the diversity and persistence of populations in surface waters.

This study examined the diversity and persistence of in the surface waters of agricultural regions of Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. Research groups (three in 2019-2020 and five in 2021-2022) conducted a long-term survey of surface water across 5-8 months annually ( = 30 monthly). On-site, each team filtered 10-L water samples with modified Moore Swabs to capture which were then isolated and identified using conventional microbiological techniques.

A one health approach for monitoring antimicrobial resistance: developing a national freshwater pilot effort.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a world-wide public health threat that is projected to lead to 10 million annual deaths globally by 2050. The AMR public health issue has led to the development of action plans to combat AMR, including improved antimicrobial stewardship, development of new antimicrobials, and advanced monitoring. The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) led by the United States (U.
