Salmonella is one of the most common foodborne pathogens. Antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella isolates, especially those resistant to colistin, pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. However, data about the prevalence of mcr-positive Salmonella in animals was few and the dissemination of mcr-positive Salmonella from animals to food, especially eggs, has not been fully addressed.

Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging virus that causes the vesicular disease in pigs, clinically indistinguishable from other high consequence vesicular diseases. This virus belongs to the genus in the family . Its genome is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA, approximately 7,300 nt in length, with a 3' poly(A) tail but without 5'-end capped structure.

Article Synopsis
  • Picornaviruses are a group of viruses with single-stranded RNA genomes, characterized by a capsid that encases their genetic material and lack an envelope.
  • They contain an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), crucial for their replication and protein production, categorized into five types based on structure and function.
  • Type IV IRES, known for its simpler structure similar to hepatitis C virus, is increasingly found in picornaviruses, indicating its importance in viral evolution and prompting a review of its structural and functional roles.

The widespread presence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and mcr-positive Escherichia coli (MCREC) poses a huge threat to both animal and human health. River water environments are vital reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes, however, the prevalence and characteristics of CRE and MCREC from large-scale rivers in China have not been reported. In the current study, we sampled 86 rivers from four cities in Shandong Province, China in 2021 and analyzed the prevalence of CRE and MCREC.

Salmonella are widely distributed foodborne pathogens and are often associated with food animal products. Colistin resistance mediated by mcr-1 is an increasing threat; however, data on the characteristics of mcr-1-harboring Salmonella among retail foods are still lacking. In this study, retail meats from 24 supermarkets and eggs from nine markets in Qingdao city were investigated to determine the presence and genomic characteristics of mcr-1-harboring Salmonella.
