Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has provoked a global health issue. Antimicrobial stewardship programs should be implemented to overcome this issue. The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity patterns of the WHO Access, Watch, Reserve (AWaRe) group of antibiotics that assists in the selection of appropriate empiric antibiotic therapies.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the major concerns of clinicians and one of the global public health problems. This pathogen is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In the last few years, reduced genome sequencing costs have made it possible to explore more of the drug resistance of S.

We report here the identification of four gene functions of principal importance for the tolerance of meropenem stress in : cell division, cell envelope synthesis and maintenance, ATP metabolism, and transcription regulation. The primary mechanism of β-lactam antibiotics such as meropenem is inhibition of penicillin binding proteins, thus interfering with peptidoglycan crosslinking, weakening the cell envelope, and promoting cell lysis. However, recent systems biology approaches have revealed numerous downstream effects that are triggered by cell envelope damage and involve diverse cell processes.

Antibiotic resistance causes higher morbidity and mortality and higher healthcare costs. One of the factors influencing the emergence of antibiotic resistance is the inappropriate use of antibiotics. Clinical practitioners' incorrect prescription patterns and a disregard for antibiotic usage recommendations are the leading causes of this resistance.

Introduction: The increase of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in zoonotic pathogens poses a substantial threat to both animal production and human health. Although large-scale animal farms are acknowledged as major reservoirs for AMR, there is a notable knowledge gap concerning AMR in small-scale farms. This study seeks to address this gap by collecting and analyzing 137 fecal samples from goat and sheep farms in Tennessee and Georgia.
