Journal ArticleDOI

Complete sequence of the floR-carrying multiresistance plasmid pAB5S9 from freshwater Aeromonas bestiarum.

TL;DR: The analysis of the multiresistant Aeromonas bestiarum strain indicates that strains of this species might also act as a resistance gene reservoir in the freshwater environment and the first description of a tetR-tet(Y) determinant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel erm(T)-Carrying Multiresistance Plasmids from Porcine and Human Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 That Also Harbor Cadmium and Copper Resistance Determinants

TL;DR: Three novel erm(T)-carrying multiresistance plasmids were obtained from porcine and human methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus of the clonal lineage ST398 that also harbor cadmium and copper resistance determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transferable Multiresistance Plasmids Carrying cfr in Enterococcus spp. from Swine and Farm Environment

TL;DR: Conjugative plasmids carrying cfr appear to play an important role in the dissemination and maintenance of the multiresistance gene cfr among enterococcal isolates and possibly other species of Gram-positive bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for Human Adaptation and Foodborne Transmission of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

TL;DR: A novel livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain colonizes and infects urban-dwelling Danes even without a Danish animal reservoir, and genetic evidence suggests both poultry and human adaptation, with poultry meat implicated as a probable source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lincosamides, Streptogramins, Phenicols, and Pleuromutilins: Mode of Action and Mechanisms of Resistance

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mode of action of LSPP antimicrobial agents as well as of the mutations and resistance genes known to confer resistance to these agents in various bacteria of human and animal origin.
