Salmonella is one of the most common foodborne pathogens. Antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella isolates, especially those resistant to colistin, pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. However, data about the prevalence of mcr-positive Salmonella in animals was few and the dissemination of mcr-positive Salmonella from animals to food, especially eggs, has not been fully addressed.

Background: Children spend almost one-third of their waking hours at school. Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep A) is a common childhood bacterial infection that can progress to causing serious disease. We aimed to detect Strep A in classrooms by using environmental settle plates and swabbing of high-touch surfaces in two remote schools in the Kimberley, Western Australia.

Introduction: Heteroresistance is not detected by traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods and may lead to treatment failures. Investigating the presence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance genes is important because of the horizontal transmission of the relevant genes between bacterial species. This study aimed to investigate the presence of colistin heteroresistance and the colistin resistance genes mcr-1 to mcr-5 in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.

We report for the first time whole-genome sequencing of four multidrug-resistant sequence type (ST) 307 recovered from patients in two hospitals in Armenia. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that the isolates were closely related, with a maximum of 39 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences in the core genome. All Armenian isolates carried the integrative and conjugative element ICE4, which bears the yersiniabactin locus, and shared a common evolutionary origin, diverging around 2005 (95% CI: 1999 to 2011).

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global health challenge with profound implications across sectors. Livestock, a significant field at the One Health interface, lacks sufficient information, particularly in low-resource settings such as Malawi.
Objectives: We determined the antimicrobial resistance rates of isolated from broiler chickens in Malawi and explored the relationship between resistance genes across sectors using genomic analysis.
