Article Synopsis
- The study examined the presence of SXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) in 103 bacterial strains isolated from 25 farms in China, revealing that 25.2% contained these ICEs, which are capable of transferring antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to other bacteria.* -
- All SXT/R391 ICE-positive strains exhibited significant levels of drug resistance, and conjugation experiments showed efficient transfer rates of these elements, with one ICE (ICEChnSC1111) carrying 19 different ARGs, the highest reported for an SXT/R391 ICE.* -
- Despite some ICEs inducing a fitness cost in recipient bacteria, long-term exposure to antibiotic pressure may lead to compens
The H9N2 avian influenza virus has been widely spread in poultry around the world. It is proved to the world that the avian influenza virus can directly infect human beings without any intermediate host adaptation in "1997 Hong Kong avian influenza case," which shows that the avian influenza virus not only causes significant losses to the poultry industry but also affects human health. In this study, we aimed to address the problem of low protection of avian H9N2 subtype influenza virus vaccine against H9N2 wild-type virus.
