Whole genome sequencing (WGS) potentially represents a rapid approach for antimicrobial resistance genotype-to-phenotype prediction. However, the challenge still exists to predict fully minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and antimicrobial susce...
Multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) is a molecular subtyping technique that remains useful for those without the resources to access whole genome sequencing for the tracking and tracing of bacterial contaminants. Unlike technique...
Human strongyloidiasis is a serious disease mostly attributable to Strongyloides stercoralis and to a lesser extent Strongyloides fuelleborni, a parasite mainly of non-human primates. The role of animals as reservoirs of human-infecting Strongyloides...

Giardia duodenalis is considered a species complex that is divided into 8 genetically distinct but morphologically identical assemblages (A-H). Assemblages C-H are generally host adapted, while A and B infect both people and animals and are considere...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most important clinical pathogens, conducts an increasing number of morbidity and mortality in the world. Rapid and accurate strain typing of bacteria would facilitate epidemiological inv...
The objectives were to evaluate the presence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci with acquired (VRE-a) and intrinsic (VRE-i) resistance mechanisms in fecal samples from different wild animals, and analyze their phenotypes and genotypes of antimicrobi...

BACKGROUND: Expansion of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CP-Kp) is driven by within-hospital transmission, requiring timely typing data for effective infection control.
Escherichia coli recovered from dogs with clinical conditions such as urinary tract infections are often used to assess populations for resistance to critically important antimicrobials (CIAs). Despite the potential importance of such strains, the nu...
