An evaluation of production orders for medicated feedingstuffs for pigs given in 1998 in Schleswig-Holstein showed macrolides, lincomycin and tiamulin as frequently used antibiotical ingredients. The presented study analyses the production orders which include macrolides, lincomycin or tiamulin in more detail. There were large deviations to the rules of good clinical practise for the use of antibiotics (2000). The applied dosage was often lower than suggested in the literature.

, an important cause of enzootic pneumonia in pigs in many countries, has recently been shown to exhibit reduced susceptibility to several antimicrobial classes. In the present study, a total of 185 pig lung tissue samples were collected from abattoirs in Australia, from which 21 isolates of were obtained. The antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolates was determined for 12 antimicrobials using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing, and a subset ( = 14) underwent whole-genome sequence analysis.

Group B (GBS) is a leading pathogen responsible for fatal infections in newborns primarily due to vertical transmission from colonized mothers. Cases of invasive GBS infections in adults have also increased and attracted attention recently. To comprehensively understand the evolving burden of vaginal GBS carriage in pregnant and non-pregnant women, as well as the trends in invasive GBS diseases and antibiotic resistance in China, we conducted a retrospective study using data from a large tertiary hospital in Beijing from 2013 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • The study updates the resistance mechanisms and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus from health care workers' nasal swabs at a children's hospital in Babol, Iran.
  • Out of 143 samples, 22.4% were nasal carriers of S. aureus, with 40.6% of those being methicillin-resistant (MRSA).
  • The research found high resistance rates to erythromycin and identified various resistance genes, with significant biofilm production observed among strains, emphasizing the global issue of MLSB antibiotic resistance.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the overall antibiotic susceptibility of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), a bacterium implicated in acne vulgaris, with a particular focus on clindamycin and fluoroquinolones, which are commonly used in inflammatory acne treatment.

Methods: A systematic search of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE databases was conducted to identify relevant studies.
