[Enterobacter] sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections in neonates. This study further clarifies the taxonomy of isolates described as [E.] and completes formal description proposed reclassification these organisms novel species subspecies within a genus, Cronobacter gen. nov. was first defined 1980, however recent polyphasic taxonomic analysis has determined this group consists several genomospecies. In study, phenotypic descriptions are expanded using Biotype 100...
Abstract Background Enterobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections such as necrotizing enterocolitis, bacteraemia, meningitis and brain abscess/lesions. When the species was defined in 1980, 15 biogroups were described it suggested these could represent multiple species. In this study taxonomic relationship of strains E. further investigated. Results Strains identified divided into separate groups on basis f-AFLP fingerprints, ribopatterns full-length 16S rRNA...
Although the effects of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are most obvious at clinical treatment failure, AMR evolution, transmission, and dispersal happen largely in environmental settings, for example within farms, waterways, livestock, wildlife. We argue that systems-thinking, One Health approaches crucial tackling AMR, by understanding predicting how anthropogenic activities interact subsystems, to drive emergence transmission. Innovative computational methods integrating big data streams...
ABSTRACT Biocides play an essential role in limiting the spread of infectious disease. The food industry is dependent on these agents, and their increasing use a matter for concern. Specifically, emergence bacteria demonstrating increased tolerance to biocides, coupled with potential development phenotype cross-resistance clinically important antimicrobial compounds, needs be assessed. In this study, we investigated collection susceptible multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica strains...
Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), remains a serious global health concern. Since their emergence in the mid-1970s multi-drug resistant (MDR) S. now dominate drug sensitive equivalents many regions. MDR is almost exclusively conferred self-transmissible IncHI1 plasmids carrying suite of antimicrobial resistance genes. We identified over 300 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within conserved regions plasmid, and genotyped both plasmid chromosomal SNPs...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant human pathogen, in part due to high rates of multidrug resistance. RamA an intrinsic regulator K. established be important for the bacterial response antimicrobial challenge; however, little known about its possible wider regulatory role this organism during infection. In work, we demonstrate that global transcriptional significantly perturbs landscape pneumoniae, resulting altered microbe-drug or microbe-host response. This largely direct regulation 68...
