Antimicrobial Drug-resistance Profile of isolated from Japanese Horse Mackerel ().

This study aimed at investigating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profile of The bacteria were isolated from wild-caught and farmed Japanese horse mackerel (), and examined for the antimicrobial drug resistance. Furthermore, the serotype, and the genes of thermostable direct hemolysin () and cholera toxin transcriptional activator () of the isolates were investigated by using a serotype testing kit and PCR method. Eighty-eight and 126 strains were isolated from wild-caught and farmed Japanese horse mackerel, respectively.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli OX18 from a Fatal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Case.

We report a fatal case of hemolytic uremic syndrome with urinary tract infection in Japan caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. We genotypically identified the isolate as OX18:H2. Whole-genome sequencing revealed 3 potentially pathogenic lineages (OX18:H2, H19, and H34) that have been continuously isolated in Japan.

Coinfection with Human Norovirus and Escherichia coli O25:H4 Harboring Two Chromosomal blaCTX-M-14 Genes in a Foodborne Norovirus Outbreak in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Abstract: Hospital-acquired infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli are a global problem. Healthy people can carry ESBL-producing E. coli in the intestines; thus, E.
