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.read more

TL;DR: The identification of a cluster of orthologous groups revealed a high number of genes involved in metabolism, including amino acid and carbohydrate transport as well as energy production and conversion, which matches with the metabolic profile previously reported for microbiota from healthy individuals.

TL;DR: The recent emergence and diffusion in the community of Escherichia coli isolates belonging to the multidrug-resistant and CTX-M-27-producing sequence type 131 (ST131) C1-M27 cluster makes this cluster potentially as epidemic as the worldwide E. coli ST131 subclade C2 composed of multidrog-resistant isolates producing CTX -M-15.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that livestock-associated MRSA CC398 originated in humans as MSSA, which appears to have undergone a rapid radiation in conjunction with the jump from humans to livestock, where it subsequently acquired tetracycline and methicillin resistance.

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.
