TLDR
A web server providing a convenient way of identifying acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in completely sequenced isolates was created, and the method was evaluated on WGS chromosomes and plasmids of 30 isolates.
Abstract
Objectives Identification of antimicrobial resistance genes is important for understanding the underlying mechanisms and the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. As the costs of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) continue to decline, it becomes increasingly available in routine diagnostic laboratories and is anticipated to substitute traditional methods for resistance gene identification. Thus, the current challenge is to extract the relevant information from the large amount of generated data.

Complete Nucleotide Sequence of an Escherichia coli Sequence Type 410 Strain Carrying blaNDM-5 on an IncF Multidrug Resistance Plasmid and blaOXA-181 on an IncX3 Plasmid

TL;DR: Using Nanopore sequencing, an Escherichia coli sequence type 410 (ST410) strain with five closed plasmids is described, finding that E. coli isolates with both blaNDM-5 and blaOXA-181 carbapenemases are rare.

Characterization and Prevalence of Campylobacter spp. From Broiler Chicken Rearing Period to the Slaughtering Process in Eastern China.

TL;DR: A high prevalence of Campylobacter is observed during the early chicken meat production, and further studies will be needed to investigate the diversity and transmission of Campyobacter in the poultry production chain.

Metagenome-assembled genomes and gene catalog from the chicken gut microbiome aid in deciphering antibiotic resistomes.

TL;DR: Feng et al. as mentioned in this paper constructed a gene catalog consisting of 16.6 million genes by integrating 799 public chicken gut microbiome samples from ten countries and found that 893 and 38 metagenome-assembled genomes in their dataset were putative novel species and genera, respectively.

Molecular genetics of aminoglycoside resistance genes and familial relationships of the aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes.

TL;DR: A preliminary assessment of the amino acids which may be important in binding aminoglycosides was obtained from data and from the results of mutational analysis of several of the genes encoding am inoglycoside-modifying enzymes.

Acquired Antibiotic Resistance Genes: An Overview

TL;DR: Attention is paid to mobile genetic elements such as plasmids, transposons, and integrons, which are associated with AR genes, and involved in the dispersal of antimicrobial determinants between different bacteria.

Comparison of antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and resistance genes in Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium from humans in the community, broilers, and pigs in Denmark.

TL;DR: Differences in the occurrence of resistance and tetracycline resistance genes were observed among isolates from the different sources, however, similar resistance patterns and resistant genes were detected frequently indicating that transmission of resistant enterococci or resistance genes takes place between humans, broilers, and pigs.
