Microbial etiology and antibiotic resistance in urinary tract infections in children; view from an area where antibiotics are overused
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed that resistance has developed at very high rates against many oral and parenteral antibiotics that we use in the treatment of UTIs. If our rate of antibiotic use continues to increase this way, it is predicted that UTIs will, unfortunately, become untreatable with oral antibiotics. This upsetting point reached by our country, which is the state that uses antibiotics the most in Europe, exemplifies the importance of rational antibiotic use for the whole world.PMID:37667945 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202308_33421 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)

Multi-locus sequence typing and in vitro antimicrobial resistance of equine Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus strains
In this study, we surveyed 22 strains ofS. zooepidemicus collected during 2021 from cervico-uterine swabs of mares with endometritis. The genetic variability of the isolated strains was studied by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. The average length of reconstructed genomes was 2,088,286 bp (95% CI: 2,061,569 bp-2,114,967 bp), which was expected forS. zooepidemicus genomes. The assembled genomes were assigned to sequence types (STs) using theS. zooepidemicus scheme targeting seven loci(arcC, nrdE, proS, spi, tdk, tpi, yqiL) available in PubMLST database. MLST revealed a wide va...
