Introduction: is a widespread acid-lactic bacterium found in the environment, humans, and animal microbiota, and it also plays a role in the production of traditional food. However, the worldwide emergence of multidrug-resistant strains represents a major public health threat and is the primary reason that the genus is not recommended for the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) list of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), raising concerns about its presence in food products.
Methods: In this study, 39 and 5 isolates were obtained from artisanal brine cheeses and dry sausages, sourced from 21 different Montenegrin producers.
Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Enterobacterales, particularly in Escherichia coli, poses serious health and economic issues for humans and animals, highlighting the "One Health" approach to understanding this problem.
- The study aimed to find extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales in ruminants across Rwanda's provinces and to characterize the isolates.
- From 454 rectal swabs collected from cattle, goats, and sheep, 64 resistant isolates were found, predominantly E. coli, with many showing multidrug-resistance and various resistance phenotypes linked to specific genes.
Article Synopsis
- Foodborne illnesses like listeriosis, caused by the Listeria bacteria, are a big worry for public health, especially during outbreaks.
- Scientists collected and studied over 1800 Listeria samples from patients in Germany to understand how the bacteria spread and caused infections.
- They found that many infection clusters lasted a long time and could affect people in different regions, with some bacteria types being more harmful than others.
The demand for terrestrial snails as a food source is still on the increase globally, yet this has been overlooked in disease epidemiology and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. This study conducted genomic analyses of twenty strains isolated from live edible snails traded in two hubs. The isolates were subjected to MALDI-TOF MS, antimicrobial resistance testing, whole genome sequencing, and analyses for in-depth characterization.
