Microb Drug Resist
September 2018
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the presence of the mcr-1 gene, which is associated with antibiotic resistance, in Enterobacteriaceae from Barbary macaques in Algeria.
- - During the research, 86 stool samples were analyzed, revealing one E. coli isolate that was resistant to colistin and had multiple antibiotic resistance genes, including mcr-1.
- - This finding highlights the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wildlife, indicating potential public health concerns regarding the spread of resistance genes.
Microb Drug Resist
April 2018
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in wild boars and Barbary macaques in Algeria by collecting and analyzing fecal samples over a period of two years (2014-2016).
- - Out of 380 samples, three CPE isolates (1.8%) were identified, including two Escherichia coli and one Klebsiella pneumoniae, all resistant to several antibiotics and producing the OXA-48 enzyme.
- - This research represents the first identification of OXA-48-producing Enterobacteriaceae in wild animals in Algeria and Africa, with notable findings on the clones and virulence factors of the isolates.
