Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of antimicrobial resistance.
TL;DR: The spread of mobile genetic elements has greatly contributed to the rapid dissemination of antimicrobial resistance among several bacterial genera of human and veterinary importance, leading to a situation where multidrug resistance phenotypes can be transferred to a susceptible recipient via a single genetic event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in pigs and farm workers on conventional and antibiotic-free swine farms in the USA.

TL;DR: The results confirm the presence of LA-MRSA in pigs and swine farm workers in the USA, but the prevalence found is relatively low compared with European studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and Distribution of Salmonella in Organic and Conventional Broiler Poultry Farms
TL;DR: The results of this cross-sectional study suggest that within this poultry company, the prevalence of fecal Salmonella was lower in certified-organic birds than in conventionally raised birds, andThe prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Salmoneella was also higher in conventionals raised birds than the two types of farms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Muenchen from Pigs and Humans and Potential Interserovar Transfer of Antimicrobial Resistance
TL;DR: This is the first report to show a high frequency of MDR Salmonella serovar Muenchen strains from pigs and a human strain that is similar to the MDR isolates with the AmpC enzyme previously reported among Salmoneella serovars Newport and Typhimurium strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in antimicrobial resistance, phage types and integrons among Salmonella serotypes from pigs, 1997–2000
TL;DR: The findings imply that pigs raised in the commercial production system may pose a risk in serving as reservoirs of resistant Salmonella.
