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: A source attribution study based on single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of a large collection of 440 S. Derby human and non-human isolates collected in 2014–2015 found the two lineages associated with pork strains were responsible for 94% of human contaminations.

Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky recovered from human clinical cases in Maryland, USA (2011-2015).
Bradd J. Haley,Seon Woo Kim,Julie Haendiges,Eric N. Keller,David Torpey,Alexander Kim,Kia Crocker,Robert A. Myers,Jo Ann S. Van Kessel +8 more
TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that the majority of S. Kentucky infections in Maryland are caused by ST198 which may originate outside of North America.

TL;DR: This study introduces a flexible modeling framework to estimate the relative dispersal risk of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in western North America and adjacent areas within East Asia, which may be adapted to provide information on the risk of dissemination of other organisms and pathogens maintained by wildlife through space and time.

TL;DR: Evidence of horizontal transfer from other serovars or species is presented and a broader understanding of the global genomic diversity of S. Typhimurium is provided, including three new variants of HP2-like P2 prophage, several new variants and a plasmid-like genomic island StmGI_0323 were found.

TL;DR: A duplex real-time PCR to detect and distinguish K. kingae and K. negevensis raises a clinical issue in term of pathogenic potential given the production of a RTX hemolysin.

Angela H.A.M. van Hoek,Dik Mevius,Dik Mevius,Beatriz Guerra,Peter Mullany,Adam P. Roberts,Henk Aarts +6 more
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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
