Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates in swine and human pathogens from Spain between 2016 and 2021, finding over 80% resistance to several antibiotic classes and 90% of isolates displayed multidrug resistance.
- - A total of 116 isolates were analyzed for their antibiotic susceptibility and genetic backgrounds, revealing significant correlations between AMR and factors such as the sequence types, geographic regions, and age of pigs.
- - Whole genome sequencing identified 23 AMR genes, including 4 novel ones, with many located on mobile genetic elements, highlighting the complex origins of resistance and suggesting implications for both animal and human health.
