Article Synopsis
- Incompatibility group C (IncC) plasmids are concerning due to their ability to carry and spread antibiotic resistance genes from animals to humans, posing a public health threat.
- A study characterized 20 IncC plasmids from food-producing animals in China, identifying four as type 1, 15 as type 1/2 hybrids, and one as type 2, further classifying hybrids into subtypes based on genetic differences.
- The research revealed that these plasmids showed a variety of genetic mutations and rearrangements, particularly involving insertion sequences, contributing to their structural diversity and ability to resist multiple antibiotics.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers sequenced EG81 using advanced technologies, identified multiple antimicrobial resistance genes, and found significant genetic information including a chromosome and two plasmids in its genome.
- * The findings highlight the presence of the optrA resistance gene and suggest that this strain poses a significant public health risk due to its combined resistance to vancomycin and other antibiotics.
Objectives: To characterize the MDR genomic islands (GIs) in Proteus mirabilis isolates.
Methods: Two P. mirabilis strains (C55 and C74) of chicken origin were subjected to WGS (HiSeq and PacBio) and the MDR GIs were determined.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterise the whole genome sequence of linezolid-intermediate Enterococcus hirae strain CQP3-9 isolated from a large-scale swine farm in Sichuan Province, China, in August 2018.
Methods: An Illumina MiSeq platform (400-bp paired-end reads with 230-fold average coverage) and PacBio RS II sequencing instrument (100-fold average read depth) were used for genome sequencing. The chromosome and two plasmids were assembled using the software SMRT portal v.
