Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of fosA-carrying plasmids in E. coli and Klebsiella spp. isolates originating from food and environmental samples
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the genetic context of fosA in plasmids from Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. isolates collected between 2012 and 2019 in Switzerland were screened for fosfomycin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared WGS-based typing with PCR-ribotyping in nearly 300 clinical and environmental isolates from Switzerland, and in addition from the Enterobase database (n=1778).
Journal ArticleDOI
Spread of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium ST133 in the aquatic environment in Switzerland.
TL;DR: In this paper, the vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) was detected in 6 (3.1%) of 191 water samples collected near treated wastewater discharge sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Context of optrA and poxtA in Florfenicol-Resistant Enterococci Isolated from Flowing Surface Water in Switzerland.
TL;DR: In this paper, a chromosomally integrated optrA in an Enterococcus raffinosus isolate is described, and the authors further characterize the genetic context of OptrA and poxtA in ten florfenicol-resistant enterococci isolated from flowing surface water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Insights into the Toxicity of Bacillus cytotoxicus Based on Toxin Gene Profiling and Vero Cell Cytotoxicity Assays.
TL;DR: In this paper, 19 Bacillus cytotoxicus isolates were obtained from mashed potato powders and characterized by toxin gene profiling and Vero cell cytotoxicity assays.
