Co-Existence of , , , and in a Clinical Isolate of from Alexandria, Egypt.

The increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance among carbapenem-resistant in the Middle East and North Africa are one of the major concerns for healthcare settings. We characterised the first isolate harbouring five β-lactamases identified in Egypt. The isolate Ale25 was obtained from an ICU patient of a hospital from Alexandria.

Molecular characterization of multidrug resistant clinical isolates from Alexandria, Egypt.

Carbapenem resistant is a major global concern, especially in countries of the Middle East and North Africa, where the antibiotic resistance rates are on the rise. The aim of this study was to study the genomic characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of thirty-six multidrug resistant clinical isolates obtained in hospitals from Alexandria, Egypt. Antibiotic resistance rates were estimated by determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations.

Prevalence and Population Diversity of Isolated from Dairy Cattle Farms in the Cantabria Region of Spain.

is an opportunistic pathogen that is widely distributed in the environment. Here we show the prevalence and transmission of in dairy farms in the Cantabria region, on the northern coast of Spain. A total of 424 samples was collected from 14 dairy farms (5 organic and 9 conventional) and 211 isolates were recovered following conventional microbiological methods.

Exploiting 16S rRNA-based metagenomics to reveal neglected microorganisms associated with infertility in breeding bulls in Spanish extensive herds.

Bovine infectious infertility represents a problem due to the high impact on animal production and, in many cases, in public health. A lack of information on the characteristics of the bacterial population of the bovine reproductive system can hamper a comprehensive understanding of reproductive pathologies and the role that the microbiome could play. A metagenomic study based on the V3-V4 hypervariable region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was performed in 1029 preputial samples from bulls raised in an extensive regimen in Spain (944 from herds with low fertility rates -case group-, and 85 samples from reproductively healthy herds -control group-).

Genomic characterization of multidrug-resistant serovar Kentucky ST198 isolated in poultry flocks in Spain (2011-2017).

Kentucky is commonly found in poultry and rarely associated with human disease. However, a multidrug-resistant (MDR) . Kentucky clone [sequence type (ST)198] has been increasingly reported globally in humans and animals.
