Article Synopsis
- Linezolid is an important last-resort antibiotic for treating serious infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, but resistance to it is a growing concern, especially due to the role of veterinary antibiotic use.
- A study in Vietnam found that the highest prevalence of linezolid-resistant Enterococcus pathogens was in flies (46.8%), with significant rates also found in chickens and dogs, indicating a troubling trend in these reservoirs.
- Genetic analysis showed connections between resistant strains from different sources, highlighting the potential for flies to transmit antibiotic-resistant bacteria among animals and humans, even though linezolid isn’t used in livestock.
Article Synopsis
- * A study conducted whole genome sequencing of MCRPEC strains from livestock and other sources in Ha Nam province, revealing 34 unique sequence types with 3 new ones identified in samples from chickens and flies.
- * All analyzed MCRPEC isolates (50 out of 50) were found to be multidrug-resistant, carrying between 5 to 22 AMR genes, with plasmid transmission driving the spread of these resistance genes rather than clonal reproduction of the strains.
Background: MDR bacteria including carbapenem-resistant are recognized as an important cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. This investigation seeks to determine the molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance genes associated with carbapenem-resistant .
Methods: We conducted WGS and phylogenetic analysis of 72 carbapenem-resistant isolated from hospital-acquired infection patients from August 2011 to March 2015 in three major hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Introduction: In Vietnam, HIV testing services had been available only at provincial and district health facilities, but not at the primary health facilities. Consequently, access to HIV testing services had been limited especially in rural areas. In 2012, Vietnam piloted decentralization and integration of HIV services at commune health stations (CHSs).
