Staphylococcus aureus CC398: Host Adaptation and Emergence of Methicillin Resistance in Livestock
Lance B. Price,Marc Stegger,Henrik Hasman,Maliha Aziz,Jesper Larsen,Paal Skytt Andersen,Talima Pearson,Andrew E. Waters,Jeffrey T. Foster,James M. Schupp,John D. Gillece,Elizabeth M. Driebe,Cindy M.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that livestock-associated MRSA CC398 originated in humans as MSSA, which appears to have undergone a rapid radiation in conjunction with the jump from humans to livestock, where it subsequently acquired tetracycline and methicillin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Public health risk of antimicrobial resistance transfer from companion animals
Constança Pomba,Merja Rantala,Christina Greko,Keith E. Baptiste,Boudewijn Catry,Engeline van Duijkeren,Ana Mateus,Miguel A. Moreno,Satu Pyörälä,Modestas Ružauskas,Pascal Sanders,Christopher Teale,E. John Threlfall,Zoltan Kunsagi,Jordi Torren-Edo,Helen Jukes,Karolina Törneke +16 more
TL;DR: In the face of the previously recognized microbiological hazards, a risk assessment tool could be applied in applications for marketing authorization for medicinal products for companion animals to allow the approval of new veterinary medicinal antimicrobials for which risk levels are estimated as acceptable for public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of the Pandemic O25-ST131 Human Virulent Escherichia coli CTX-M-15-Producing Clone Harboring the qnrB2 and aac(6′)-Ib-cr Genes in a Dog
Constança Pomba,Joana Diniz da Fonseca,Bruno Coelho Baptista,José Duarte Correia,Luis Martínez-Martínez +4 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of plasmid-mediated qnr genes among 61 consecutive nonrepetitive clinical strains of E. coli and to subsequently characterize positive isolates, and to avoid the nalidixic acid chromosome-encoded resistance of DH5α cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increase in antimicrobial resistance and emergence of major international high-risk clonal lineages in dogs and cats with urinary tract infection: 16 year retrospective study.
TL;DR: The temporal increase in antimicrobial resistance and in MDR bacteria causing UTI in dogs and cats creates important therapeutic limitations in veterinary medicine and raises public health concerns since companion animals with UTI may contribute to the spread of such bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends and molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in clinical staphylococci isolated from companion animals over a 16 year period
Natacha Couto,Cláudia Monchique,Adriana Belas,Cátia Marques,Luis Telo da Gama,Constança Pomba +5 more
TL;DR: Several clonal lineages of MRSA and methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis circulating in human hospitals and the community were found, suggesting that companion animals can become infected with and contribute to the dissemination of highly successful human clones.
