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 nonribosomal peptide/polyketide hybrid colibactin can be considered a bacterial virulence factor involved in extraintestinal infection and also a procarcinogen and it is identified ClbR as the only transcriptional activator known so far that is specific and essential for efficient regulation of colibactorin production.

TL;DR: The first study to report genome sequences of the two yeasts Pichia kluyveri and Candida sake is reported, providing genome information for five WCFY strains that may highlight their potential beneficial or harmful metabolic effects in fermented vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing prevalence of hypervirulent ST5 methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus subtype poses a serious clinical threat.
TL;DR: The ST5 clonotype isolates have dominated S. aureus infections for more than... as discussed by the authors, which is a clinical pathogen of great significance causing metastatic or complicated infections.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Heidelberg Food Isolates Associated with a Salmonellosis Outbreak Have Enhanced Stress Tolerance Capabilities
Andrea J. Etter,Alyssa M. West,John Burnett,Sophie Tongyu Wu,Deklin R. Veenhuizen,Raeya A. Ogas,Haley F. Oliver +6 more
TL;DR: Six Salmonella Heidelberg isolates associated with the foodborne outbreak had enhanced heat tolerance, and outbreak-associated isolates were likely transcriptionally primed to better survive processing stresses and, potentially, to cause illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Genome Sequencing of Clinically Isolated Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales Harboring mcr Genes in Thailand, 2016-2019.
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive insight into the prevalence of mcr-carrying CRE from patients in Thailand was provided, highlighting the importance of strengthening official active surveillance efforts to detect, control, and prevent mCR-harboring CRE and the need for rational drug use in all sectors.

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.

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.
