Antimicrobial resistance in wild game mammals: a glimpse into the contamination of wild habitats in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Wild game meat has over the years gained popularity across the globe as it is considered a food source with high protein content, low fat content, and a balanced composition of fatty acids and minerals, which are requirements for a healthy diet. Despite this popularity, there is a concern over its safety as many species of wildlife are reservoirs of zoonotic diseases including those of bacterial origin, more so antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Methods: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in mammalian wild game, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- Three species of Yersinia (Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii, and Y. kristensenii), common foodborne pathogens, were analyzed using genomic data to uncover their potential threat, revealing significant genomic diversity and a noteworthy presence in Europe and Asia.
- Y. intermedia demonstrated a high level of accessory genes, suggesting adaptability and the ability to acquire beneficial traits, while all three species contained various mobile genetic elements including plasmids and insertion sequences.
- Differences in antibiotic resistance genes and virulence gene composition were noted, with Y. kristensenii being the most virulent, containing the most virulence genes, while Y. frederiksenii showed unique pathogenic mechanisms.

This prospective pilot study examined the association between microorganisms and knee osteoarthritis by identifying pathogens in the synovial membrane, synovial fluid, and blood samples from two patients with primary bilateral knee osteoarthritis, using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Intraoperatively, during routine knee arthroplasty procedures, we collected the following 12 samples from each patient: two synovial membrane samples, two synovial fluid samples, and two venous blood samples. After DNA isolation and library construction, each sample was subjected to deep whole-genome sequencing using the DNBSEQT17 platform with the read length PE150 as the default.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Ypt) is a gram-negative bacterium that infects both humans and animals primarily through fecal‒oral transmission. While Ypt causes acute gastroenteritis in humans, an association with Kawasaki disease (KD), a disease that primarily affects infants and young children and causes multisystemic vasculitis, has also been suspected. Although KD represents a significant health concern worldwide, the highest annual incidence rate is reported in Japan.

Yersinia pestis, a Gram-negative bacterium is the causative agent of the fatal communicable disease plague. The disease had a profound impact on human history. Plague bacteria are usually transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected rat flea.
