Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of plasmids by PCR-based replicon typing
Alessandra Carattoli,Alessia Bertini,Laura Villa,Vincenzo Falbo,Katie L. Hopkins,E. John Threlfall +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicated that the inc/rep PCR method demonstrates high specificity and sensitivity in detecting replicons on reference plasmids and also revealed the presence of recurrent and common plasmid in epidemiologically unrelated Salmonella isolates of different serotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of quinolone resistance in Escherichia coli and Salmonella: Recent developments
TL;DR: Care needs to taken to avoid overuse of this important class of antimicrobial in both human and veterinary medicine to prevent an increase in the occurrence of resistant zoonotic and non-zoonotic bacterial pathogens that could subsequently cause human or animal infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella typhi: A Worldwide Epidemic
TL;DR: It is regrettable that resistance to ciprofloxacin has now emerged in MDR S. typhi, and it is of paramount importance to limit the unnecessary use of this vital drug so that its efficacy should not be further jeopardized.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in food-borne bacteria.
TL;DR: It is hoped that recently introduced Codes of Practice for the prophylactic use of antimicrobials in food animals will result in a decline in the occurrence of drug resistant strains in the food chain.
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.
