Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Resistance in Multiple-Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli Strains of Human, Animal, and Food Origins
Yolanda Sáenz,Laura Briñas,Elena Domínguez,Joaquim Ruiz,Myriam Zarazaga,Jordi Vila,Carmen Torres +6 more
TL;DR: Seventeen multiple-antibiotic-resistant nonpathogenic Escherichia coli strains of human, animal, and food origins showed a wide variety of antibiotic resistance genes, many of them carried by class 1 and class 2 integrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecalis Reveals Hospital-Adapted Genetic Complexes in a Background of High Rates of Recombination
Patricia Ruiz-Garbajosa,Marc J. M. Bonten,D. Ashley Robinson,Janetta Top,Sreedhar R. Nallapareddy,Carmen Torres,Teresa M. Coque,Rafael Cantón,Fernando Baquero,Barbara E. Murray,Rosa del Campo,Rob J. L. Willems +11 more
TL;DR: This novel MLST scheme provides an excellent tool for investigating local and short-term epidemiology as well as global epidemiology, population structure, and genetic evolution of E. faecalis and suggests an epidemic population structure for the bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter strains isolated from animals, foods, and humans in Spain in 1997-1998.
TL;DR: The increasing rates of Campylobacter resistance make advisable a more conservative policy for the use of antibiotics in farm animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-Lactamases in Ampicillin-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates from Foods, Humans, and Healthy Animals
TL;DR: TEM, SHV-, and OXA-type beta-lactamases were studied by PCR with 124 ampicillin-resistant (AMP(r)) Escherichia coli isolates recovered from foods of animal origin and feces of humans and healthy animals as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Public health risks of enterobacterial isolates producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases or AmpC β-lactamases in food and food-producing animals: an EU perspective of epidemiology, analytical methods, risk factors, and control options.
Ernesto Liebana,Alessandra Carattoli,Teresa M. Coque,Henrik Hasman,Anna-Pelagia Magiorakos,Dik Mevius,Luísa Peixe,Laurent Poirel,Gertraud Schuepbach-Regula,Karolina Törneke,Jordi Torren-Edo,Carmen Torres,John Threlfall +12 more
TL;DR: The blaESBL and blaAmpC genes in Enterobacteriaceae are spread by plasmid-mediated integrons, insertion sequences, and transposons, some of which are homologous in bacteria from food animals, foods, and humans.
