The A2 haplotype of Echinococcus multilocularis is the predominant variant infecting humans and dogs in Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang
In this study, 127 samples were used for haplotypes analysis, including 79 tissues from humans, 43 liver tissues from small rodents, and 5 fecal samples from dogs. Genetic variability in E. multilocularis was studied using complete sequences of the mitochondrial (mt) genes of cytochrome b (cob), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (nad2), and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1), using a total of 3558 bp per sample. The Asia haplotype 2 (A2) was the dominant haplotype, with 72.15% (57/79) prevalence in humans, 2.33% (1/43) in small rodents, and 80.00% (4/5) in dogs, followed by A5, the second most common haplotype, which infecte...

Exploring the resistome and virulome in major sequence types of Acinetobacter baumannii genomes: Correlations with genome divergence and sequence types
In this study, we aim to explore the relationship between antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence factor genes, and STs using genomic data from 223 publicly available A. baumannii strains. The core phylogeny analysis revealed five predominant STs in A. baumannii genomes, linked to their geographical sources of isolation. Furthermore, the resistome and virulome of A. baumannii followed an evolutionary pattern consistent with their pan-genome evolution. Among the major STs, we observed significant variations in resistant genes against "aminoglycoside" and "sulphonamide" antibiotics, highlighting the role of genotypic varia...

Whole genome sequence-based characterization of Campylobacter isolated from broiler carcasses over a three-year period in a big poultry slaughterhouse reveals high genetic diversity and a recurring genomic lineage of Campylobacter jejuni
Infect Genet Evol. 2024 Feb 27;119:105578. doi: 10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105578. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCampylobacter is among the most frequent agents of bacterial gastroenteritis in Europe and is primarily linked to the consumption of contaminated food. The aim of this study was to assess genomic diversity and to identify antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes of 155 Campylobacter isolated from broiler carcasses (neck skin samples) in a large-scale Swiss poultry abattoir over a three-year period. Samples originated from broilers from three different types of farming systems (particularly animal-friendly stablin...
