Genetic Relationship of Isolates Found in Subcutaneous Abscesses in Leopard Geckos .

Introduction: The article describes the occurrence and phylogenetic relationship of isolates found in subcutaneous abscesses of leopard geckos. The aim of the study was to determine the cause of the abscesses and to characterise isolated strains.

Material And Methods: Samples of abscesses from five animals and internal organs (lungs, liver, and gut) of three of them were tested for according to the PN-EN ISO 6579:2002/A1:2007 standard.

Distribution of Serovars along the Food Chain in Poland, 2010-2015.

Introduction: Data collection on the occurrence is crucial in effective implementation of different actions or control programmes aiming to protect consumers' health and to reduce the level of prevalence in farm animals. The goal was to describe serovar distribution along the food chain in Poland during 2010-2015 and to identify their epidemiological importance.

Material And Methods: Slide agglutination according to White-Kauffmann-Le Minor scheme was used to identify serovars of 6,928 isolates originating from animals, food, feeds, and fertilisers.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolated from Wild Animals in Poland.

Antimicrobial resistance was tested in Escherichia coli isolated from feces (n = 660) of red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, European bison, and wild boar shot in regional forests in Poland during two winter hunting seasons. Indicator E. coli (n = 542) was resistant against 11 of 14 tested compounds, mostly sulfamethoxazole, streptomycin, ampicillin, trimethoprim, and tetracycline (1.

Mechanisms of cephalosporin resistance in indicator Escherichia coli isolated from food animals.

Resistance to β-lactams is considered one of the major global problems and recently it became the most frequently studied topic in the area of antimicrobial resistance. The study was focused on phenotypic and genetic characterisation of commensal Escherichia coli (E. coli), including those producing cephalosporinases, isolated from gut flora of healthy slaughter animals.
