non-typhoidal is a major contributor to diarrheal diseases, with over 2600 serovars identified across diverse environments. In Mexico, serovars Newport and Anatum have shown a marked increase, especially in foodborne disease, posing a public health problem. We conducted a cross-sectional study from 2021 to 2023 using active epidemiological surveillance to assess contamination in ground beef and pork at butcher shops nationwide.

Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is a major public health concern in Chile, mainly linked to ventilator-associated pneumonia, with limited molecular epidemiological data available.
- A study characterized the phylogenomics and molecular characteristics of ST654 CRPA isolates collected between 2016 and 2022, involving 89 samples from various hospitals.
- Results showed that 38.2% of the strains belonged to the high-risk ST654 clone, primarily associated with KPC production, a broad resistome, and specific virulence factors, highlighting the need for ongoing molecular surveillance.
