Genomics of human and chicken Salmonella isolates in Senegal: Broilers as a source of antimicrobial resistance and potentially invasive nontyphoidal salmonellosis infections
PLOS ONE, 17(3).
MeSH headings : Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Chickens; Drug Resistance, Bacterial / genetics; Drug Resistance, Multiple, Bacterial / genetics; Gastroenteritis / microbiology; Genomics; Humans; Microbial Sensitivity Tests; Phylogeny; Salmonella; Salmonella Infections / epidemiology; Salmonella Infections / microbiology; Senegal / epidemiology
TL;DR:
A whole-genome sequence analysis of 72 strains of Salmonella isolated from diarrheic human patients and chicken meat sold in multipurpose markets in Dakar, Senegal revealed frequent resistance to fluoroquinolones and the sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim combination that are among the most used treatments for invasiveSalmonella.

Multidrug resistance and virulence genes carried by mobile genomic elements in Salmonella enterica isolated from live food animals, processed, and retail meat in North Carolina, 2018-2019
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD MICROBIOLOGY, 378.
author keywords: Whole-genome sequencing; Plasmid assembly; Bioinformatics; Pathogen fitness; Food safety
MeSH headings : Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Cattle; Drug Resistance, Multiple, Bacterial / genetics; Genomics; Humans; Meat; Microbial Sensitivity Tests; North Carolina; Plasmids; Poultry; Salmonella Infections; Salmonella enterica; Swine; Virulence / genetics; Virulence Factors / genetics
TL;DR:
Plasmid-mediated virulence factors also appear to provide a fitness advantage, as the dominant S. enterica serotype Kentucky in chicken retail meat held the greatest diversity of plasmID-mediated colicin virulence genes which are often upregulated by environmental stressors and confer a competitive advantage.

Glaize, A., Hull, D., Raymond, L., Vliet, A. H. M., Gutierrez-Rodriguez, E., & Thakur, S. (2022, August 4). FOODBORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASE, Vol. 8.
author keywords: extended-spectrum beta-lactamase; phylogroups; antimicrobial resistance; enteropathogenic Escherichia coli; dairy; poultry
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Anti-Bacterial Agents / therapeutic use; Drug Resistance, Bacterial / genetics; Escherichia coli; Escherichia coli Infections / veterinary; Microbial Sensitivity Tests; Poultry; Salmonella; Whole Genome Sequencing
TL;DR:
This study demonstrates the prevalence of AMR and virulence genes on small-scale sustainable farms and highlights the advantage of using WGS to assess the impact of the VBZ to reduce the transmission of E. coli and Salmonella.

Antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors profile of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli isolated from different environments exposed to anthropogenic activity
JOURNAL OF GLOBAL ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE, 22, 578–583.
author keywords: Anthropogenic areas; Whole-genome sequencing; FosA7 gene; pHN7A8 (F33:A-:B-plasmid)
TL;DR:
The presence of these determinants in different anthropogenic areas suggests the need to conduct longitudinal studies for comparing the profile of pathogens across different environments and the detection of AMR determinants and virulence factors in these bacteria is significant in understanding the occurrence and even the development ofAMR.

Extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli among humans, chickens and poultry environments in Abuja, Nigeria
One Health Outlook, 2(1).
author keywords: Escherichia coli; Antimicrobial resistance; Chicken; Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL); Nigeria
TL;DR:
It is important to educate healthcare workers that people in proximity with poultry are a high-risk group for faecal carriage of ESBL-EC, hence pose a higher risk to the general population for the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
