We identified 1218 isolates from fecal and carcass samples of pigs ( = 643) and chickens ( = 575) between 2010 and 2018. About 99% of the isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent. The isolates exhibited high resistance rates (>75%) to ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, and tetracycline. Azithromycin and erythromycin resistance rates were the highest in isolates from pigs (39.7% and 39.2%, respectively) compared to those of chickens (15.8% and 16.3%, respectively). Additionally, a low-to-moderate proportion of the isolates were resistant to florfenicol, gentamicin, clindamycin, and telithromycin. Multidrug resistance (MDR) was found in 83.1% of the isolates, and profiles of MDR usually included ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, and tetracycline. We found point mutation (A2075G) in domain V of the gene in the majority of erythromycin-resistant isolates. Multilocus sequence typing of 137 erythromycin-resistant . isolates revealed 37 previously reported sequence types (STs) and 8 novel STs. M192I, A103VI, and G74A substitutions were frequently noted in the ribosomal proteins L4 or L22. Further, we identified a considerable proportion (>90%) of erythromycin-resistant isolates carrying virulence factor genes: , , , and . The prudent use of antimicrobials and regular microbiological investigation in food animals will be vital in limiting the public health hazards of . in Korea.

is the etiological agent of Glässer's disease, which causes high morbidity and mortality in pigs worldwide. Macrolide resistance poses an urgent threat to their treatment, as macrolides are widely used for preventing and treating infections. Here, we determined the susceptibilities to five macrolides and characterized the genetic markers of macrolide resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Macrolides are the preferred treatment for campylobacteriosis, with low resistance rates in France, primarily due to specific mutations and two identified methyltransferases.
- Between 2018 and 2023, 280 erythromycin-resistant strains were sequenced, revealing a significant rise in resistance markers, especially with mutations being present in 90% of cases.
- The majority of resistant isolates originated from chickens, indicating the need for close monitoring of resistant strains in poultry production.

Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of neonatal meningitis and sepsis and an important cause of disease in adults. Capsular polysaccharide and protein-based GBS vaccines are currently under development.
Methods: Through national laboratory-based surveillance, invasive GBS isolates were collected from patients of all ages between 2019 and 2020.

Background: Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by (BP). Despite global control of pertussis cases through the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), there has been a significant increase in the incidence of pertussis in recent years, characterized by a "resurgence" in developed countries with high immunization rates as well as a comparable reemergence in certain areas of China. We aim to explore the genotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of circulating BP from children in Hebei.

Bacterial drug resistance is becoming increasingly serious, this study aims to investigate the relationship between the resistance rate of erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) and reasons for the epidemic under complex geographical and climatic factors in China. Data spanning from 2014 to 2021, including drug resistance rates, isolate rates, meteorological variables, and demographic statistics, were collected from the China Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System, the China Statistical Yearbook and China Meteorological Website. Our analysis involved nonparametric tests and the construction of multifaceted regression models for rigorous multivariate analysis.
