Mobile colistin resistance (MCR), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and multidrug resistance monitoring in (commensal and pathogenic) in pig farming: need of harmonized guidelines and clinical breakpoints.

Current data on antimicrobial resistance in pig production is essential for the follow-up strategic programs to eventually preserve the effectiveness of last-resort antibiotics for humans. Here, we characterized 106 recovered in routine diagnosis (2020-2022) from fecal sample pigs, belonging to 74 Spanish industrial farms, affected by diarrhea. The analysis of virulence-gene targets associated with pathotypes of , determined 64 as pathogenic and 42 as commensal.

Proposal for an integral quality index for urban and urbanized beaches.

A composite index, based on function analysis and including thirteen sub-indices, was developed to assess the overall quality of urban and urbanized beaches in the Mediterranean area. The aggregation of components and sub-indices was based on two questionnaires completed by beach users and experts. Applying the new Beach Quality Index (BQI) demonstrated that the quality of beaches could be improved.

Assessing the multidimensionality of coastal erosion risks: public participation and multicriteria analysis in a Mediterranean coastal system.

The complex and multidimensional nature of coastal erosion risks makes it necessary to move away from single-perspective assessment and management methods that have conventionally predominated in coastal management. This article explores the suitability of participatory multicriteria analysis (MCA) for improving the integration of diverse expertises and values and enhancing the social-ecological robustness of the processes that lead to the definition of relevant policy options to deal with those risks. We test this approach in the Mediterranean coastal locality of Lido de Sète in France.
