Antibiotic resistance signifies a safety hazard to public health. Lactic acid bacteria, particularly, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, are useful organisms responsible for dairy fermentation. In keeping with this, they may transfer antibiotic resistance to human population....

In order to investigate the antibiotic resistance and the safety of Lactobacillus in commercial yogurt, the Lactobacillus strains isolated from 26 commercial yogurt and starter samples were investigated for antibiotic resistance and the localization of resistance genes. Antimicrobial susceptibility ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major human health problem. While health care facilities are main contributors to the emergence, evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance, other ecosystems are involved in such dissemination. Wastewater, farm animals and pets have been considered important...

Antibiotic administration is a standard therapeutic practice for the treatment of reproductive disorders of equids. This might lead to undesirable microbial imbalance and could favour the acquisition of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, it is imperative for clinicians to understand patterns of ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes have become new environmental pollutants causing public health problems in the world. The antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant bacteria, has received increasing attention in clinical medicine, animal breeding,...

Riemerella anatipestifer is an important pathogen in waterfowl, and is generally multidrug resistant. This study assessed the current status of Riemerella anatipestifer antibiotic resistance and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs), compared the results of different detection methods, and evaluated a ...

In order to study the antibiotic resistance and the localization of antibiotic resistance gene, the Bacillus strains isolated from 34 raw milk samples were investigated for the antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance tests showed that the antibiotic resistance rate of 66 Bacillus strains to...

Objective: To investigate the antibiotic resistance and molecular characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium isolated from chicken and pork in Guangzhou, 2018, and provide data support for the rational use of antibiotics and the prevention of drug-resistant pathogens. Methods: The S. Typhimurium...

Food-associated Enterococcus faecium are commonly used as food starters and probiotics. However, their use is controversial due to the increasing multidrug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the phenotype-genotype association of antibiotic resistance in 50 dairy products-associated ...

Antibiotic resistance is an issue in many areas of human activity. The mobilization of antibiotic resistance genes within the bacterial community makes it difficult to study and control the phenomenon. It is known that certain insertion sequences, which are mobile genetic elements, can participate...
