Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Enterococcus Isolates from Cattle and Pigs in Portugal: Linezolid Resistance Genes optrA and poxtA

Joana Giao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the prevalence and diversity of enterococcal species in the cecal samples of cattle and pigs. The researchers found a wide range of enterococci colonizing the intestines of these animals. Although resistance to critically important antibiotics was generally low, erythromycin resistance was an exception. The study also identified daptomycin-resistant and linezolid-resistant strains, as well as oxazolidinone resistance determinants in enterococci.

Detection of a cfr-positive MRSA CC398 strain in a pig farmer in Spain

Laura Ruiz-Ripa et al.

Summary: This study reports the first description of a linezolid-resistant MRSA isolate carrying the cfr gene in Spain, which is multidrug-resistant but lacks virulence genes, and the cfr gene can be transferred by conjugation. This finding emphasizes the importance of surveillance programs to control the spread of the cfr gene in livestock and clinical settings.

Linezolid-resistant MRSA-CC398 carrying the cfr gene, and MRSA-CC9 isolates from pigs with signs of infection in Spain

L. Ruiz-Ripa et al.

Summary: This study characterized 23 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from pigs with signs of infections in Spanish farms during 2018-2019. Two major livestock-associated genetic lineages were detected, with the presence of multidrug-resistant cfr gene among LA-MRSA-CC398 being a major concern. Continuous surveillance and awareness for LA-MRSA are necessary.

The European Union Summary Report on Antimicrobial Resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from humans, animals and food in 2018/2019

Summary: Data on antimicrobial resistance in humans, animals, and food are collected annually by EU Member States, jointly analysed by EFSA and ECDC, and reported in a yearly EU Summary Report. The monitoring in 2018 focused on poultry and their derived products, while the monitoring in 2019 specifically targeted pigs, calves, and their derived products.

Mobile Oxazolidinone Resistance Genes in Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

Stefan Schwarz et al.

Summary: Mobile oxazolidinone resistance genes such as cfr, optrA, and poxtA are found on various platforms and may overlap with other resistance genes, contributing to the dissemination of resistance among microbial populations.

Vanessa Silva et al.

Summary: MRSA is an important pathogen globally, with livestock-associated MRSA being a zoonotic pathogen. This study isolated 29 MRSA strains from slaughtered quails, all of which showed resistance to multiple antibiotics, with most strains belonging to the ST398 lineage.
