Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the genomes of 35 clinical isolates of an opportunistic bacterial pathogen from the uteruses of dairy cows, revealing significant antimicrobial resistance, particularly to tetracyclines.
- - Researchers identified a new bacterial species, proposed as sp. nov., which helps classify a strain implicated in a human eye infection that previously did not fit existing classifications.
- - Findings highlight that 97% of the examined strains carry mobile tetracycline resistance genes, indicating the pathogen's potential role as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance in food chains, along with the observation of convergent gene loss linked to virulence factors.
