Article Synopsis
- - Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health issue, primarily studied in livestock; this research focuses on AMR in sports animals like fighting cocks, bulls, and sport horses, as well as environmental soil samples.
- - The study isolated bacteria from feces of these animals and tested their resistance to 15 different antimicrobial agents while also examining various genetic factors related to virulence and AMR.
- - Results showed that fighting cocks exhibited the highest levels of AMR, with 62.5% of their isolates resistant to ampicillin, and they also had the highest rate of multidrug resistance compared to the other sports animals.

Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is an emerging infectious disease with an expanding geographical distribution. Although assessment of the environmental load of B. pseudomallei is important for risk assessment in humans or animals in endemic areas, traditional methods of bacterial culture for isolation have low sensitivities and are labor-intensive.

Melioidosis is endemic in Malaysia. Cutaneous melioidosis is one manifestation and it may progress to necrotizing fasciitis. The case highlights a 46-year-old male, a chicken-seller who presented with scalp cellulitis which later progressed to necrotizing fasciitis and pneumonia are presented here.

Natural isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the causative agent of melioidosis, can exhibit significant ecological flexibility that is likely reflective of a dynamic genome. Using whole-genome Bp microarrays, we examined patterns of gene presence and absence across 94 South East Asian strains isolated from a variety of clinical, environmental, or animal sources. 86% of the Bp K96243 reference genome was common to all the strains representing the Bp "core genome", comprising genes largely involved in essential functions (eg amino acid metabolism, protein translation).
