TL;DR: Tetracycline-resistant Pasteurella aerogenes isolates obtained from the intestinal tract of swine were investigated for their tet genes by PCR analysis and hybridization experiments and suggested that the Tn10 relic on plasmid pPAT2 is the result of several illegitimate recombination events.

TL;DR: In this paper , the erm genes encode 23S rRNA methylases, which confer combined resistance to macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin B (MLS) compounds by adding one or two methyl groups to the adenine A2058 in the 23s rRNA.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that the human immune system in humanized NSG-SGM3 mice with S. aureus showed increased vulnerability to infection by Staphylococcus anaphylaxis, particularly in the myeloid compartment.

TL;DR: In the present study, isolates and their genome sequences from wild Straw-coloured fruit bats and a Diamond firetail kept in a German aviary are described and it is proposed that the study isolates, the recently described S. roterodami and S. singaporensis as well as some Chinese strains with MLST profiles stored in the PubMLST database are considered as different clonal complexes within one new species.

TL;DR: This work acknowledges the issue of mosaic resistance genes, which are found in a number of resistance gene families and believes that workable solutions to this issue can be found and its existence should not preclude the urgently needed clarification of the diversity in the tet resistance genes currently given the same name.
