Antimicrobial resistance in fecal Escherichia coli and Campylobacter spp. from beef cows in western Canada and associations with herd attributes and antimicrobial use.
The objectives of this study were to describe the frequency of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli and Campylobacter spp. isolates in fecal samples from beef cow-calf herds and to examine the associations between herd management practices, reported antimicrobial use, and AMR. Baseline prevalence data are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of antimicrobial stewardship programs. A pooled fecal sample, representing 20 cows, was collected from each of 107 herds during pregnancy testing. In the 305 recovered E. coli isolates (maximum 3 per herd), resistance to ≥ 1 antimicrobial was identified in 12 isolates [...

Estimation of Multidrug Resistance Variability in the National Antimicrobial Monitoring System
This study examines the variability of a previously identified resistance pattern in Escherichia coli among ampicillin, gentamicin, sulfisoxazole, and tetracycline using samples isolated from chicken during the years 2004 to 2006 and 2008 to 2012. 2007 is excluded because sulfisozaxole resistance was not measured at slaughter that year. To assess variability in this resistance pattern susceptibility/resistance contingency tables were constructed for each of the 15 combinations of the 4 drugs for each of the years. For each table, variability across the years was assessed at the full table multinomial level as a measure of ...

In Vitro Study on the Effect of Maraviroc or Dolutegravir on Bilirubin to Albumin Binding
We performed an in vitro evaluation of the effect of maraviroc or dolutegravir on bilirubin to albumin binding. At typical treatment and low albumin concentrations, maraviroc had no impact, while dolutegravir affected bilirubin to albumin binding to an equivalent extent as sulfisoxazole. However in vivo, neither is likely to significantly impact bilirubin to albumin binding because of their low concentrations relative to albumin. (Source: The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal)

Passive surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella and Escherichia coli isolates from Ontario livestock, 2007-2015.
Abstract Clinical isolates are important to antimicrobial resistance surveillance efforts because clinically ill animals are the direct targets of antimicrobial treatments. Thus, clinical data may provide a surveillance tool for identifying emerging resistance threats. The purpose of this study was to describe resistance trends in Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. from clinically ill animals over time and evaluate the utility of these laboratory data as a passive surveillance tool. Susceptibility results of isolates from chickens, swine, and cattle recovered between 2007 and 2015 at a major veterinary d...

The Role of Mobile Genetic Elements in the Spread of Antimicrobial-Resistant Escherichia coli From Chickens to Humans in Small-Scale Production Poultry Operations in Rural Ecuador.
Abstract Small-scale production poultry operations are increasingly common worldwide. To investigate how these operations influence antimicrobial resistance and mobile genetic elements (MGEs), Escherichia coli isolates were sampled from small-scale production birds (raised in confined spaces with antibiotics in feed), household birds (no movement constraints; fed on scraps), and humans associated with these birds in rural Ecuador (2010-2012). Isolates were screened for genes associated with MGEs as well as phenotypic resistance to 12 antibiotics. Isolates from small-scale production birds had significantly...

Enhanced degradation performance of sulfisoxazole using peroxymonosulfate activated by copper-cobalt oxides in aqueous solution: Kinetic study and products identification
In this study, an efficacious heterogeneous copper-cobalt catalyst (Cu0.39Co1.01O4.57) was synthesized by a simple coprecipitation method to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade sulfisoxazole (SIX). On the surface of this catalyst, active sites like Co2+, Co3+ and Cu2+ were found. In the optimal condition, SIX could be completely degraded in 30min at ambient temperature, pH=7 and by 1.87mM PMS and 0.1gL−1 Cu0.39Co1.01O4.57. The addition of this catalyst also enhanced the degradation of other 5 sulfonamides (SAs). The possible catalytic mechanism was discussed that Co2+ first formed Co(OH)+, then it activated PMS t...

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance among Escherichia coli from chicken and swine, China, 2008 –2015
The objective of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance trend in Escherichia coli from food animals in China. During 2008–2015, a total of 15,130 E. coli were isolated from chicken and swine from seven provinces. The susceptibilities of these isolates to nine classes of antimicrobial agents were determined using broth microdilution susceptibility method. The findings of this study include: (1) multi-drug resistance was highly prevalent in E. coli; (2) these E. coli isolates showed high resistant rate (>80%) to several old drugs, including ampicillin, tetracycline and sulfisoxazole; (3) increasi...
