Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major health threat for public and animal in the twenty-first century. In Ecuador, antibiotics have been used by poultry industry decades resulting presence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria meat production chain, with consequent risk health. This study evaluated prevalence ESBL/AmpC mcr genes third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli (3GC-R E. ) isolated from broiler farms (animal component), carcasses (food human enteritis (human...
Salmonella Infantis, a common contaminant of poultry products, is known to harbor mobile genetic elements that confer multi-drug resistance (MDR) and have been detected in many continents. Here, we report four MDR S. Infantis strains recovered from house environments Santa Cruz Island the Galapagos showing extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed presence ESBL-conferring blaCTX-M-65 gene an IncFIB-like plasmid three...
The inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance, which reduces their efficacy. education undergraduates is likely influence practices. Assessing awareness critical in the general effort confront spread resistance. This cross-sectional investigation was carried out using questionnaire “Antibiotic resistance: Multi-country public awareness” developed by World Health Organization. Students from different backgrounds at Central University participated study (n = 733). survey...
The study of non-typhoid Salmonella in broiler integrations has been limited by the resolution typing techniques. Although serotyping isolates is used as a traditional approach, it not enough to clearly understand dynamics this pathogen within poultry companies. aim research was investigate epidemiology and population serotypes 2 using whole genome sequencing approach. Two hundred forty-three recovered from production chain integrated companies were sequenced analyzed with dedicated...
Salmonella enterica serovars cause infections in humans. S. subsp. serovar Infantis is considered relevant and commonly reported poultry products. Evaluating innovative approaches for resisting colonization animals could contribute to the goal of reducing potential human infections. Microalgae represent a source molecules associated with performance health improvement chickens. Tetraselmis chuii synthesizes fermentable polysaccharides as part their cell wall content; these sugars are known...
Knowing the importance of mathematics and its relationship with veterinary medicine plays an important role for students. To promote interest in this relationship, we developed workshop “Math Nature” that utilizes surrounding environment stimulating pattern-recognition observational skills. It consisted four sections: A talk by a professional researcher, question-and-answer section, mathematical pattern identification session, discussion ideas proposed The effectiveness program to raise was...
