Poultry and livestock are the most important reservoirs for pathogenic Escherichia coli use of antimicrobials in animal farming is considered factor promoting emergence, selection dissemination antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms. The aim our study was to investigate antimicrobial resistance E. isolated from food animals Jiangsu, China. disc diffusion method used determine susceptibility 18 agents 862 clinical isolates collected chickens, ducks, pigs, cows between 2004 2012. Overall, 94%...
Among the 36 cases of brucellosis here reported there were 22 in which diagnosis was based on actual culture brucellar organisms and 14 it serologic evidence alone. Twenty-nine patients farmers, others had all come into contact somehow with meat or milk from infected herds. The course osteomyelitis chronic hardest lesions to treat successfully. Secondary invading often appeared sometimes persisted after cultures become negative for Brucella. Spondylitis frequent, 11 destructive. Most treated...
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance against colistin has emerged worldwide and is threatening the efficacy of treatment multi-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, PCRs were used to detect mcr genes ( mcr-1 , mcr-2 mcr-3 ) in 213 anal 1,339 nasal swabs from pigs (n = 1,454) nine provinces China, 1,696 cloacal 1,647 oropharyngeal samples poultry 1,836) at live-bird markets 24 provinces. The prevalences (79.2%) geese (71.7%) significantly higher than chickens (31.8%), ducks (34.6%)...
Flies have the capacity to transfer pathogens between different environments, acting as one of most important vectors human diseases worldwide. In this study, we trapped flies on a university campus and tested them for mobile resistance genes against colistin, last-resort antibiotic in medicine treating clinical infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Quantitative PCR assays developed showed that 34.1% Musca domestica (86/252) 51.1% Protophormia terraenovae (23/45)...
To provide more complete data on SARS-CoV-2 infections in dogs and cats the U.S., we conducted a serosurvey convenience serum samples from (n=1336) (n=956) collected 48 states of USA 2020. An ELISA targeting antibody against nucleocapsid identified eleven positive two doubtful cats, five dogs. A surrogate neutralization assay detecting antibodies blocking attachment spike protein to ACE2 was with three samples, one 463 randomly selected negative samples. These four were confirmed by virus...
Resistance to last resort drugs such as carbapenem and colistin is a serious global health threat. This study investigated resistance in 583 non-duplicate Enterobacteriaceae isolates utilizing phenotypic methods whole genome sequencing (WGS). Of the recovered from humans, animals environment Nigeria, 18.9% (110/583) were resistant at least one (meropenem, ertapenem, imipenem) 9.1% (53/583) exhibited concurrent carbapenem-colistin resistance. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 2-32...
The genetic diversity of Amblyomma variegatum (Fabricius) from four Caribbean islands and five African countries was compared by analyzing the sequences three gene fragments, two mitochondrial (12SrDNA D-Loop-DL), one nuclear (intergenic transcribed spacer 2 [ITS2]). Genetic variability ITS2 DNA fragment consisted only uninformative single nucleotide mutations, therefore this excluded further analyses. Mitochondrial divergences among populations between were very low. Nevertheless, data...
ABSTRACT In this study, a total of 323 Salmonella enterica strains were isolated from 3,566 rectal swab samples 51 poultry farms in seven regions 12 provinces China between 2006 and 2012. The prevalences sp. carriage 12.4% geese (66 positive/533 samples), 10.4% turkeys (32/309), 9.8% chickens (167/1,706), 6.8% ducks (41/601), 4.1% pigeons (17/417), respectively. These isolates belonged to 20 serovars, which the most frequent serovars S. serovar Gallinarum biovar Pullorum (herein, S ....
Background Although tick-borne diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality in dogs tropical areas, there is little information on the agents causing these infections Caribbean. Methodology We used PCRs to test blood from a cross-section St Kitts for Ehrlichia (E.) canis, Babesia (B.) spp., Anaplasma (A.) spp. Hepatozoon (H.) Antibodies against E. canis A. phagocytophilum/platys were detected using commercial immunochromatography tests. Records examined retrospectively obtain...
Rickettsia felis is a recently described flea-borne spotted fever group that an emerging human pathogen. Although there information on the organism from around world, no in China. We used commercial ELISA to detect antibodies reactive against R. blood samples and developed PCR gltA of external parasites. found people (16%; 28/180), dogs (47%; 128/271) cats (21%; 19/90) positive PCRs with DNA (0.1%; 1/822), (0.8%; 8/1,059), mice (10%; 1/10), ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus; 10%; 15/146), lice...
Although many vector-borne agents are potential zoonoses and cause substantial morbidity mortality in dogs worldwide, there limited data on these organisms of China.Quantitative PCRs for were performed to investigate their prevalences convenience whole blood samples obtained from 1114 21 veterinary clinics a commercial dog breeding facility ten provinces China. In addition, the 146 Rhipicephalus sanguineus senso lato 37 Linognathus setosus collected facility.DNAs Babesia gibsoni B. vogeli...
Highly drug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Indiana became the most common in broilers with diarrhea China over course of this study (15% 2010 to 70% 2014). While S. isolates (87%, 384/440) were resistant 13 16 antibiotics tested, 89% non-S. (528/595) 0 6 antibiotics. Class 1 integrons and IncHI2-type plasmids detected all isolates, but only 39% 1% isolates.
Antimicrobial resistance against colistin has emerged worldwide threatening the efficacy of one last-resort antimicrobials used for treatment Enterobacteriaceae. To investigate presence recently identified genes (mcr-4, mcr-5) in China, we established PCRs to detect mcr-4 and mcr-5 on 213 anal 1,339 nasal swabs from apparently healthy pigs (n = 1,454) nine provinces, 1,696 cloacal 1,647 oropharyngeal samples poultry 1,836) at live-bird markets 24 provinces China. The prevalence swine (41.4%;...
Abstract Blood flow rate in the periosteal and endosteal cortices of diaphysis long bones was determined eight anesthetized adult dogs using radioactively labeled microsphere method. The is not significantly different unless cortex contains cancellous bone from medullary cavity. highest ulna, with 6.50 ml/min/100 g for 5.15 cortex. lowest femur, 2.89 2.29 results this study indicate that variation blood does exist between dogs. However, rates individual on left right sides same dog are...
