Antimicrobial resistance in commensal Staphylococcus aureus from wild ungulates...
Ramos, Beatriz; Rosalino, L. M.; Palmeira, Josman D.; Torres, Rita T.; Cunha, Mónica V.Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathobiont (i.e., a commensal microorganism that is potentially pathogenic under certain conditions), a nosocomial pathogen and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. S. aureus is also a commensal and pathogen of companion animals and livestock. The dissemination of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) S. aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant (MRSA), has been associ...
Mapping the scientific knowledge of antimicrobial resistance in food-producing ...
Torres, Rita Tinoco; Carvalho, João; Fernandes, Joana; Palmeira, Josman D.; Cunha, Mónica V.; Fonseca, CarlosAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) can be highlighted as one of the most significant health concerns among the last decades, for which antimicrobial drug use in food-producing animals has contributed as one of the major drivers. Food-producing animals are one of the most important and rapidly expanding commercial agricultural sectors worldwide but there is currently limited knowledge on the temporal and geographica...
Emergence and Spread of Cephalosporinases in Wildlife: A Review
Palmeira, Josman D.; V. Cunha, Mónica; Carvalho, João; Ferreira, Helena; Fonseca, Carlos; Torres, Rita T.In the last decade, detection of antibiotic resistant bacteria from wildlife has received increasing interest, due to the potential risk posed by those bacteria to wild animals, livestock or humans at the interface with wildlife, and due to the ensuing contamination of the environment. According toWorld Health Organization, cephalosporins are critically important antibiotics to human health. However, acquired r...
