Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted to characterize -carrying extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing (=7). These isolates originated from two pigs (TH2 and TH3) and two humans (TH8 and TH9) from Thailand, and three pigs from Lao PDR (LA1, LA2 and LA3). Four sequence types/serotypes - ST6833/H20 (TH2 and TH3), ST48/O160:H40 (TH8 and TH9), ST5708/H45 (LA1) and ST10562/O148:H30 (LA2 and LA3) - were identified. The plasmid replicon type IncF was identified in all isolates. The point mutations Ser31Thr in PmrA and His2Arg in PmrB were found concurrently in all isolates (colistin MIC=4-8 µg ml). LA1 contained up to five point mutations in PmrB, and the colistin MIC was not significantly different from that for the other isolates. All was located in the IS element, while all was located in the TnIS element. The and genes were co-localized on the same plasmid, which concurrently contained , and . The and genes were located on conjugative plasmids and could be transferred horizontally under selective pressure from ampicillin or colistin. In conclusion, comprehensive insights into the genomic information of ESBL-producing harbouring were obtained. As -carrying ESBL-producing were detected in pigs and humans, a holistic and multisectoral One Health approach is required to contain antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

This study investigated the green synthesis of Zn-MnO nanocomposites via the fungus Penicillium rubens. Herein, the synthesized Zn-MnO nanocomposites were confirmed by UV-spectrophotometry with a top peak (370 nm). Transmission electron microscopy confirmed irregular particles with a spherical-like shape ranging from 25.

Recent genome mining work revealed that unexplored habitats exhibit great potential for discovering new nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) and ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Lanthipeptides are a group of RiPPs exhibiting a variety of biological functions. They are characterized by the presence of the thioether-containing bis-amino acids lanthionine and/or methyllanthionine.

Aims: To characterize Escherichia coli O25 ST131 (O25-ST131) isolated from Georgia poultry, - a "global high-risk" clonal strain.
Methods And Results: Using multiplex PCR to detect target genes in 98 isolates of avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) O25 recovered from avians diagnosed with colibacillosis (n=87) and healthy chicks (n=11) in Georgia, USA.
