Abundance of Colistin-Resistance Genes in Retail Meats in Vietnam.

The degree of contamination of retail meat with colistin-resistant bacteria and its potential contribution to dissemination within communities remains to be determined. Thus, we aimed to elucidate the contamination status of colistin-resistance genes, indicative of colistin-resistant bacteria, in retail meats in Vietnam. In total, 46 chicken and 49 pork meats from stores in Vietnam and Japan were examined.

Comparative genome analysis of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli harboring mcr isolated from rural community residents in Ecuador and Vietnam.

The spread of colistin-resistant bacteria among rural community residents of low- and middle-income countries is a major threat to community health. Although the mechanism of the spread of colistin-resistant bacteria in communities is unknown, geographic and regional characteristics may influence it. To elucidate the spread mechanism of colistin-resistant bacteria, we analyzed the genomes of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from Vietnam and Ecuador residents, which are geographically and socially different.

Horizontal transfer of a plasmid possessing mcr-1 marked with a single nucleotide mutation between Escherichia coli isolates from community residents.

Objectives: The widespread dissemination of phenotypic colistin-resistant (COR) bacteria in the community threatens public health. The horizontal gene transfer of the mobile colistin resistance gene via plasmids is thought to be one of the main mechanisms for dissemination. However, genotypic evidence to prove this in community settings is limited.

Comparison of Phenotypic and Genotypic Patterns of Antimicrobial-Resistant Group Isolated from Healthy Individuals in Vietnam and Japan.

Purpose: Normal non-pathogenic flora can harm the host by acting as a reservoir of resistance determinants that are potentially transferable to human pathogens. This study aimed to assess the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the group (BFG) isolated from healthy individuals in Vietnam and Japan in order to elucidate the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in human flora in the two economically and geographically different countries.

Materials And Methods: BFG was isolated from fecal samples of 80 healthy individuals in Vietnam (n=51) and Japan (n=29).

Quantitative Analysis of Colistin-Resistant in Retail Meat from Local Vietnamese Markets.

The spread of drug-resistant bacteria via food has contributed to the dissemination of resistant bacteria among humans. However, the status of food contamination with resistant bacteria, particularly the quantitative level of resistant bacteria in food, has not yet been well elucidated. In this study, the abundance of colistin-resistant in meat samples was quantified to understand the origin of the contamination of meat available in local Vietnamese markets.

Whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis of the genomes of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Escherichia coli isolated from a healthy resident in Vietnam.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the draft genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant bacteria (Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron F9-2 and Escherichia coli 09-02E) isolated from stool samples of a healthy resident in Vietnam.

Methods: Genome sequences were determined using MiSeq and MinION platforms. Genome assembly was performed using Platanus Assembler v.

High Prevalence of Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli with Chromosomally Carried in Healthy Residents in Vietnam.

The wide distribution of colistin-resistant bacteria in developing countries has become a common phenomenon. To understand the mechanisms underlying their distribution, we studied the genetic background of colistin-resistant isolates from the fecal microbiota of healthy human residents from a community in Vietnam with a high prevalence of colistin-resistant with Fifty-seven colistin-resistant isolates were obtained from 98 residents; one isolate was collected from each individual and analyzed for We found that 36.8% of the isolates carried chromosomal Further, 63.

Prevalence Of Among Cefotaxime-Resistant Commensal In Residents Of Vietnam.

Purpose: The dissemination of colistin-resistant bacteria harboring the colistin-resistance gene in developing countries has recently entered the spotlight as an emerging public health threat, which is attributed to the abuse of colistin use in these countries. However, the prevalence of these bacteria in developing countries has not been extensively investigated. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the prevalence of cefotaxime-resistant commensal harboring among residents of a representative Vietnamese village and assessed the characteristics of these isolates.
