Molecular Detection of Metronidazole and Tetracycline Resistance Genes in -Like Positive Gastric Samples from Pigs.

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health concern. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of antibiotic resistance genes, previously reported in in gastric samples of 36 pigs, in which DNA of -like organisms had been detected. Based on PCR and sequencing analysis, two samples were positive for the mutation gene, conferring tetracycline resistance, and one sample was positive for the gene with a single nucleotide polymorphism, conferring metronidazole resistance.

Perception and Knowledge of Portuguese Veterinarians about the Zoonotic Transmission of and : The Need for One Health Intervention.

species can colonize the gastrointestinal tract of both humans and animals, and are associated with gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal diseases. Some studies indicate that animals, health professionals, and people in close contact with animals might be at higher risk for infection with gastric spp. Considering that veterinarians are professionals at risk for infection with zoonotic gastric Helicobacters and are also seen by many as health communicators concerning zoonoses, the aim of this study was to evaluate the Portuguese veterinarians' perception and knowledge of spp.

Molecular detection of Helicobacter spp. and Fusobacterium gastrosuis in pigs and wild boars and its association with gastric histopathological alterations.

Besides Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative bacterium that may cause gastric disorders in humans, non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacters (NHPH) may also colonize the stomach of humans and animals. In pigs, H. suis can induce gastritis and may play a role in gastric ulcer disease, possibly in association with Fusobacterium gastrosuis.

spp. in the Stomach of Cats: Successful Colonization and Absence of Relevant Histopathological Alterations Reveals High Adaptation to the Host Gastric Niche.

In addition to , many non- Helicobacters (NHPH) are able to cause gastric disease in humans. Cats are a natural reservoir for many of these species. Accordingly, living in close and intimate contact with animals has been identified as a risk factor, and an important zoonotic significance has therefore been attributed to NHPH.

Presence of and DNA in Free-Range Wild Boars.

() is a Gram-negative bacterium that infects half of the human population worldwide, causing gastric disorders, such as chronic gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcers, and gastric malignancies. is mainly associated with pigs, but can also colonize the stomach of humans, resulting in gastric pathologies. In pigs, can induce gastritis and seems to play a role in gastric ulcer disease, seriously affecting animal production and welfare.
