Antimicrobial Resistance Phenotypes and Genotypes of spp. Isolated from Commercial Duck Meat Production in Thailand and Their Minimal Inhibitory Concentration of Disinfectants.

is an important foodborne bacterium that has become increasingly resistant to critical antimicrobial and disinfectant agents. The aim of this study was to characterize antimicrobial and disinfectant resistance of spp. isolated from ducks raised for meat in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand.

High rate misidentification of biochemically determined Streptococcus isolates from swine clinical specimens.

In this study, 22 bacterial isolates from swine necropsy specimens, which were biochemically identified as Streptococcus suis and other Streptococcus species, were re-examined using species-specific PCR for authentic S. suis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for the verification of the former judge. Identification of S.
