In food, bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes could play a prominent role in the spread of resistance. populations can become large in a number of fermented foods, yet the antibiotic resistance properties of this species have been little studied. In this work, the resistance/susceptibility (R/S) profile of strains ( = 30) from cheese to 16 antibiotics was determined by broth microdilution.

Here, we evaluated the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) features and phylogeny of isolated from canine pyoderma cases in Argentina ( = 29) and the United States ( = 29). 62% of isolates showed multi-drug resistance.

Twenty-three methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) isolated in Argentina from dogs with pyoderma were analyzed using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and classified into sequence types (ST) by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and staphylococcal chromosome cassette mec (SCCmec) types.

Bacteria isolated from infected animals show increasing antimicrobial resistance.
Objectives: This study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci and streptococci isolated from milk with mastitis, and to genotypically characterize the methicillin-resistant (MR) staphylococci.
In the USA, subspecies serovar Senftenberg is among the top five serovars isolated from food and the top 11 serovars isolated from clinically ill animals. Human infections are associated with exposure to farm environments or contaminated food. The objective of this study was to characterize Senftenberg isolates from production animals by analyzing phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles, genomic features and phylogeny.

The primary clinical manifestation of Salmonella Dublin infection in cattle, especially calves, is respiratory disease. While rare in humans, it can cause severe illness, including bacteremia, with hospitalization and death.

Bovine mastitis causes important economic losses in the dairy industry and the most commonly isolated bacteria from bovine mastitis are . The A gene present in MRSA bacteria confers resistance to almost all -lactam antibiotics, the most frequent drugs used in bovine mastitis therapy.

Introduction: Bovine mastitis causes important economic losses in the dairy industry. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are a group of bacteria commonly isolated from bovine mastitis and can display resistance to a wide range of antimicrobial agents.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine staphylococcal resistance towards β-lactam, macrolide and lincosamide antimicrobials in quarters previously treated with third-generation cephalosporin and after lincosamide intramammary therapy.
Introduction: Bovine mastitis is a frequent cause of economic loss in dairy herds. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are increasing in importance as causeof bovine intramammary infection (IMI) throughout the world in recent years. CoNShave been isolated from milk samples collected from cows with clinical andsubclinical mastitis in several countries.
