TL;DR: It is found that when a gentamicin-resistant gene was present in resistant enterococci from animals, that gene was also present in enteringococci isolated from food products of the same animal species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Julie R. Harris,Shawn R. Lockhart,Emilio DeBess,Nicola Marsden-Haug,Marcia Goldoft,Ron Wohrle,Sang Joon Lee,Chad Smelser,Benjamin Park,Tom Chiller +9 more
TL;DR: Clinicians should have a low threshold for testing for Cg, particularly among patients with recent travel to the PNW, and clinical differences may exist between outbreak-strains VGIIa, VGIIb, and VGIIc and nonoutbreak-strain Cg infections in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nosocomial outbreak of fluoroquinolone-resistant salmonella infection.
Sonja J. Olsen,Emilio DeBess,Teresa McGivern,Nina Marano,Tom Eby,Steve Mauvais,Vijay K. Balan,Gerald W. Zirnstein,Paul R. Cieslak,Frederick J. Angulo +9 more
TL;DR: The first recognized outbreak of fluoroquinolone-resistant salmonella infections in the United States, which occurred in two nursing homes and one hospital in Oregon, is described and more such outbreaks are likely in institutional settings, particularly those in which there is heavy use of antimicrobial agents.

TL;DR: In California, Brucella melitensis was identified in 185 cases (78.7% of the bacteriologically typed cases) and Hispanics accounted for 81% of cases from 1983 to 1992 compared with 65% during the previous decade as discussed by the authors.
Journal Article
