Abstract The CRISPR/Cas system defends bacteria and archaea against invasive pathogens, such as phages, establishing an immunological memory from this interaction. Pseudomonas aeruginosa , opportunistic pathogen, represents a significant public health concern due to its multidrug resistance. This study conducted molecular epidemiological analysis of clinical isolates in Brazil using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) characterization system. Most P. harbored the type I-F (83%), with subset...

Aeromonas spp. are gram-negative bacteria that can cause a variety of infections in both humans and animals play controversial role diarrhea outbreaks. Our aim was to identify clinical environmental isolates associated with cholera outbreak northeast county Brazil at the species level. We also aimed determine genetic structure bacterial population virulence potential isolates.Analysis based on concatenated sequences 16S rRNA gyrB genes suggested classification 119 studied into following...

Aeromonads are mainly opportunistic pathogens; however, many species emerging as important human pathogens. Therefore, monitoring these bacteria and their accurate characterization of its is highly important. Aeromonas Aer593 strain was recovered from a diarrhoea outbreak did not group with any previously described by housekeeping gene sequencing. To clarify the taxonomic position Aer593, genome sequenced analysed multilocus phylogenetic analysis (MLPA), in silico DNA-DNA hybridization...

Acinetobacter baumannii is Gram-negative pathogen with extensive role in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Plasmids this species are important carriers of antimicrobial resistance genes. In work, we investigated the plasmids 227 Brazilian A. genomes. A total 389 plasmid sequences 424 Rep proteins typed to 22 different homology groups (GRs) were identified. The GR2 group was most predominant (40.6%), followed by GR4 (16.7%), representing ∼57% all plasmids. There a wide distribution...

O aumento da incidência de bactérias resistentes a antibióticos no ambiente hospitalar é um problema saúde global. A caracterização nível genômico dos determinantes resistência e elementos associados à sua disseminação, desempenham papel crítico na compreensão e, potencialmente, controle patógenos multirresistentes. Esse estudo buscou caracterizar o genoma isolado clínico K. pneumoniae pan-resistente. foi recuperado uma amostra urina paciente do sexo masculino 65 anos, internado UTI hospital...
