is an emerging and opportunistic human pathogen found in developing countries and is a causative agent of wound, urinary tract, and blood infections. The present study conducted comparative genomic analyses of a strain collection from diverse geographical locations and sources to identify the relevant virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes. Pangenome analyses divided the examined strains into five distinct clades; the subsequent classification identified genes with functional roles in carbohydrate and general metabolism for the core genome and genes with a role in secretion, adherence, and the mobilome for the shell and cloud genomes.

As the human population grows, an increase in food trade is needed. This elevates the risk of epidemiological outbreaks. One of the prevalent pathogens associated with food production in Mexico has been Salmonella Oranienburg.

Aquatic environments are recognized as one of the main reservoirs for the emergence and dissemination of high-risk lineages of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria of public health concern. However, the genomic characteristics of antibiotic-resistant isolates from aquatic origins remain limited. Herein, we examined the antibiotic resistance and virulence genomic profiles of three recovered from surface water in northwest Mexico.

Salmonella enterica is a pathogenic bacterium responsible for intestinal illness and systemic diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. Among clinical manifestation classification, non-typhoidal Salmonella is mainly known as foodborne pathogen associated with the consumption of fecal contaminated food and water. Even though Salmonella hosts include humans and warm-blooded animals, it has been found in non-host environments as river water where the bacteria use different strategies to fitness the environment persisting and establishment.

Objectives: In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant (MDR)Escherichia coli strain recovered from stool sample of an outpatient infant girl with acute diarrheal infection in Mexico.

Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and PCR-based detection of diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) were performed.

Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a human pathogen of great concern owing to its antimicrobial resistance and virulence properties. Here we report the first draft genome sequence of a mecA-negative community-associated MRSA strain isolated from a healthy young Mexican paediatric carrier in order to reveal the genomic structure underlying the multidrug-resistant phenotype and to discover the virulence properties of this strain.

Methods: The draft genome sequence of S.
