Detection of Mycoplasma spp. in free-living seabirds.

This study aimed to investigate the presence of Mycoplasma spp. and identify the species of mycoplasma isolates obtained from seabirds found on Brazilian coastal beaches. Tracheal and cloacal swab samples were collected from 50 seabirds rescued by three conservation and marine animal rehabilitation centers located in Brazil.

Genomic characterisation of Campylobacter jejuni Cj26: A high-level ciprofloxacin/erythromycin-resistant strain isolated from a poultry carcass in southern Brazil.

Objectives: The draft genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni (Cj26) was analysed to investigate genetic mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, virulence-associated genes, and phylogenetic context.

Methods: Antimicrobial resistance was assessed by agar dilution and disk diffusion. Cj26 was sequenced using NovaSeq 6000 technology.

SVR-flaA typing of erythromycin- and ciprofloxacin-resistant Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from poultry slaughterhouses in southern Brazil.

The emergence of fluoroquinolone and macrolide resistance in C. jejuni, a recognized zoonotic pathogen, has increased worldwide. This study aimed to investigate phenotypic resistance to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin, the molecular mechanisms involved, and the strain of C.

Molecular markers associated with antimicrobial resistance and genotypes of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from broiler and swine flocks in southeast Brazil.

This study aimed to identify molecular markers associated with antimicrobial resistance and genotype isolates of Campylobacter spp. from broiler and swine flocks due to its importance to one-health. C.

First molecular detection of Spiroplasma spp. in ticks from horses in Brazil.

The class Mollicutes comprises microorganisms that lack a cell wall, highly dependent on their host to survive. Within Mollicutes, the genus Spiroplasma comprises motile helical microorganisms associated with various insects and other arthropods. This study aimed to detect and characterize Mollicutes microorganisms in ticks of different species of veterinary importance, using molecular techniques.

Virulence-Associated Genes and Antimicrobial Resistance of Isolates from Animal, Food, and Human Sources in Brazil.

Aeromonads are natural inhabitants of aquatic environments and may be associated with various human or animal diseases. Its pathogenicity is complex and multifactorial and is associated with many virulence factors. In this study, 110 selected isolates isolated from food, animals, and human clinical material from 2010 to 2015 were analyzed.

Potentially pathogenic mycoplasmas in the external ear canal of clinically normal cattle in Southeast Brazil: first report.

Mycoplasmas were searched in the ear canal flushing of 60 bovine in Brazil. The prevalence obtained was 80%. The percentages of typified species were 12.

Mycoplasma synoviae infection on Newcastle disease vaccination of chickens.

Newcastle disease is characterized by respiratory manifestations in association with nervous and/or digestive symptoms. Its prevention is done by vaccination with live attenuated (lentogenic strains) and/or killed vaccines. The lentogenic strains can lead to strong post-vaccination reaction, principally due to the presence of other pathogenic agents.
