Introduction: To characterize OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated after an increase in carbapenem resistance in Catalonia. Methodology: K. pneumoniae identification, antimicrobial susceptibility studies, the Modified Hodge Test method, amplification of antimicrobial resistance genes (against β-lactamases, quinolones and aminoglycosides), molecular typing (by PFGE and MLST), conjugation assays, plasmid characterization (PBRT-PCR and Southern blot), a description of mobile genetic elements and statistical analysis were done. [...]
Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar las cepas de Klebsiella pneumoniae productoras de carbapenemasa OXA-48 aisladas tras observar un aumento de estos aislados resistentes a los carbapenémicos en Cataluña. [...]

Phage particles have emerged as elements with the potential to mobilise antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different environments, including the intestinal habitat. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of ARGs in phage particles present in faecal matter and induced from strains isolated from faeces. [...]

Bacillus toyonensis strain BCT-7112T (NCIMB 14858T) has been widely used as an additive in animal nutrition for more than 30 years without reports of adverse toxigenic effects. However, this strain is resistant to chloramphenicol and tetracycline and it is generally considered inadvisable to introduce into the food chain resistance determinants capable of being transferred to other bacterial strains, thereby adding to the pool of such determinants in the gastro-enteric systems of livestock species.

Glaciers serve as effective reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and viruses for millions of years. Climate change and anthropogenic activity have accelerated the melting of glaciers, but the patterns of release of ARGs and viruses from melting glaciers into downstream habitats remain unknown.

Staphylococcus aureus is both a commensal and opportunistic pathogen that colonizes human and animal skin and mucosal membranes. It is widely acknowledged that livestock can act as a reservoir for human strains and genetic traits, but less is known about the epidemiological significance of wild animals. [...]

There is widespread concern about the increase in cases of human and animal infections caused by pathogenic Vibrio species due to the emergence of epidemic lineages. In Colombia, active surveillance by the National Institute of Health (INS) has confirmed the presence of Vibrio; however, in routine surveillance, these isolates are not genomically characterized.
