Salmonella is a significant threat to Brazilian poultry, causing economic losses and public health risks. This study analyzed 15 Salmonella isolates along with 45 retrieved complete genomes, including serovars Gallinarum, Pullorum, Enteritidis, Typhimurium, and Heidelberg. Biochemical characterization, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole-genome sequencing, and comparative genomics were performed. The studied strains exhibited high levels of antimicrobial resistance, particularly to tilmicosin, penicillin/novobiocin, nalidixic acid, and streptomycin. Genomic analysis revealed diverse virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), with zoonotic strains showing higher virulence compared to avian-adapted strains. Multiple plasmid types carrying ARGs were identified, highlighting the potential for horizontal gene transfer. Pangenomic and phylogenomic analyses differentiated Salmonella strains from serogroup D1 from those from serogroup B. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive surveillance and control measures to mitigate the impact of Salmonella on both animal and human health in Brazil.

Objective: This study aimed to predict and evaluate the efficacy of various polymyxin B dosing regimens for Gram-negative bacteremia using Monte Carlo simulation, with a specific focus on assessing the efficacy in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The goal was to optimize clinical dosing regimens and guide rational polymyxin B use in practice.
Methods: A total of 1,939 Gram-negative bacterial strains were analyzed, collected between April 2019 and December 2021 through the China Bloodstream Gram-negative Pathogens Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Surveillance Network (CARVIS-NET).

Objective: Bloodstream infections(BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) have a high mortality rate due to the high levels of drug resistance. There is an urgent need to establish a sensitive and accurate detection method to rapidly detect CRAB in BSIs.
Methods: A new method was developed based on fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting the specific region of 16sRNA and OXA-23 gene from CRAB.

Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is a recently approved combination synthetic β-lactamase inhibitor used in human clinical medicine. Cases of CZA resistance in humans have already been reported, but limited research has investigated CZA resistance in pets. This study explored the prevalence and transmission of CZA-resistant (CZAREC) among pets, their owners, veterinarians, and the environment in animal hospitals.

In the face of bacterial hazards to human health and resistance to multiple antibiotics, there is an urgent need to develop new antibiotics to meet the challenge. In this paper, the triazolyl heterocyclic (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, ) was synthesised efficiently using thiourea as starting material. Finally, the end product was obtained by aldehyde-amine condensation reaction and the structures of all compounds were determined by spectral analysis.
