Article Abstract
infection is a significant risk factor for various gastrointestinal diseases, while the standard triple therapy for its eradication is increasingly compromised by antibiotic resistance. This study investigates the role of the CrdAB-CzcBA efflux pump and its regulation by copper in tetracycline resistance in . Using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination and growth curve analysis, we found that the deletion of or significantly reduced tetracycline resistance, while overexpression of CrdAB-CzcBA under the urease promoter enhanced bacterial resistance by reducing intracellular tetracycline accumulation. Ethidium bromide and tetracycline accumulation assays confirmed that CrdAB-CzcBA mediates active efflux of tetracycline, contributing to reduced intracellular drug levels. Furthermore, copper supplementation upregulated the expression of CrdAB-CzcBA via the CrdRS two-component system, thereby promoting bacterial growth under tetracycline stress. Notably, copper-induced resistance was abrogated in Δ mutants, demonstrating the dependence of this mechanism on CrdRS. These findings highlight CrdAB-CzcBA as a critical efflux system in tetracycline resistance and emphasize the role of environmental factors, such as copper, in modulating bacterial antibiotic resistance, underscoring the need for strategies that account for metal ion influences in managing infections.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Escherichia coli in poultry farming is a growing global public health concern, particularly in Bangladesh, where the use of antibiotics remains largely unregulated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and AMR patterns of E. coli isolated from broiler chickens in Sylhet district of Bangladesh and to investigate the network of coexisting resistance traits among the isolates.

Foodborne illnesses pose a significant public health threat globally, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where the rapid growth of the food service sector has increased the risk of exposure to multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Traditional microbiological methods are often time-consuming and may lack precision, highlighting the need for faster and more accurate diagnostic alternatives. In this study, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was employed for the rapid and precise identification of bacterial contaminants in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, alongside an assessment of their antibiotic resistance profiles.

This study aims to determine the molecular features and antimicrobial resistance of (Group B streptococcus, GBS) causing invasive and noninvasive infections in Korean adults. Sequence type (ST), capsular serotype, pilus island typing, and antimicrobial susceptibility were analyzed for GBS isolates obtained at a hospital laboratory that processed the primary clinical specimens collected from Korean adults between 2021 and 2024. Among the 90 isolates, Serotype VIII (34.

Introduction: are commonly found in intramammary infections associated with bovine subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle, yet their genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance dynamics remain poorly characterized, particularly in African settings.
Methods: This study presents a comparative genomic analysis of 17 isolates from South Africa, including five newly sequenced bovine mastitis strains and twelve porcine-derived genomes retrieved from GenBank. analysis using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), virulence genes, antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids replicon types were used to characterise these isolates.
