The impact of probiotics on antibiotic resistance in newborns: A systematic review.

Background And Objectives: Newborns, particularly premature ones, are vulnerable to bacterial infections and often receive antibiotics, disrupting their normal intestinal microbiota. Probiotics have multiple health benefits and are recommended for restoring balance, but caution is needed due to potential consequences, such as promoting antibiotic resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess current knowledge regarding the impact of probiotics on antibiotic resistance in newborns.

Antimicrobial resistance and virulence profiles of isolated from two-finger and three-finger sloths ( and ) of Costa Rica.

Background: Wildlife has been recently recognized as an environmental reservoir for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, less information on this topic is available in animals released back into the wild after rehabilitation in wildlife facilities, compared with studies performed exclusively in captive or free-ranging wildlife. This study aimed to evaluate the potential influence of captivity and/or treatment while in captivity of wild sloths on the AMR and virulence profiles of sloths' .

Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Profiles of Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Loggerhead Sea Turtles () of the Island of Maio, Cape Verde.

Previous studies revealed high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in loggerhead sea turtles (), describing this species as prime reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to characterise, for the first time, the AMR and virulence profiles of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from 33 nesting loggerhead turtles of the island of Maio, Cape Verde. Cloacal, oral, and egg content swab samples ( = 99) were collected and analysed using conventional bacteriological techniques.
