Genomic Profiling of Multidrug-Resistant Swine and Clonal Relationship to Human Isolates in Peru.

The misuse of antibiotics is accelerating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in isolated from farm animals. The genomes of ten multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates from pigs were analyzed to determine their sequence types, serotypes, virulence, and AMR genes (ARGs). Additionally, the relationship was evaluated adding all the available genomes of Peruvian from humans using the cgMLST + HierCC scheme.

Occurrence and Genomic Characterization of -Harboring Isolates from Chicken and Pig Farms in Lima, Peru.

Resistance to colistin generated by the gene in is of great concern due to its efficient worldwide spread. Despite the fact that the Lima region has a third of the Peruvian population and more than half of the national pig and poultry production, there are no reports of the occurrence of the gene in isolated from livestock. In the present work, we studied the occurrence of carrying the gene in chicken and pig farms in Lima between 2019 and 2020 and described the genomic context of the gene.

Phylogenomics reveals multiple introductions and early spread of SARS-CoV-2 into Peru.

Peru has become one of the countries with the highest mortality rates from the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To investigate early transmission events and the genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 isolates circulating in Peru in the early COVID-19 pandemic, we analyzed 3472 viral genomes, of which 149 were from Peru. Phylogenomic analysis revealed multiple and independent introductions of the virus likely from Europe and Asia and a high diversity of genetic lineages circulating in Peru.

Pan-genomic approach shows insight of genetic divergence and pathogenic-adaptation of Pasteurella multocida.

Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative, non-motile bacterial pathogen, which is associated with chronic and acute infections as snuffles, pneumonia, atrophic rhinitis, fowl cholera and hemorrhagic septicemia. These diseases affect a wide range of domestic animals, leading to significant morbidity and mortality and causing significant economic losses worldwide. Due to the interest in deciphering the genetic diversity and process adaptive between P.

Draft Genome Sequences of Enterohemorrhagic and Enteropathogenic Strains Isolated from Alpacas in Peru.

The draft genome sequences of two strains of , isolated from alpacas in Peru, are reported here. ECA1 has been determined to be a strain of enterohemorrhagic and ECB1 a strain of enteropathogenic These pathogens are responsible for hemolytic-uremic syndrome in humans and diarrhea in different mammals, respectively.
