Assessment of antimicrobial resistance throughout a wastewater treatment plant
Godinho , O.; Diogo , B. S.; Antunes , S. C.; Lage , O. M.; Quinteira , S.Background: As one of the leading worldwide causes of death, infections caused by antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens, represent a global health crisis that can be tackled under the One Health approach [1]. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have long been considered hotspots for transmission and selection of AMR genes and, as such, surveillance of AMR in WWTP is crucial [2, 3]. Objective: In this study we ...
High occurrence of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli from Holstein-Friesian ...
Quinteira , S.; Dias , A. B.; Pinho , L.; Brito , N. V.; Campos , C.; Freitas , A. R.; Miranda , C.Background: Escherichia coli is currently a leading pathogen for deaths associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) [1]. AMR related to food-producing animals is a public health risk requiring a One Health approach [1,2]. Animals are major reservoirs of antibiotic resistant E. coli which can easily reach humans through the food chain, direct contact, or the environment [3]. Objective: To analyze the AMR prof...
Nasal colonization by Staphylococcus aureus in Health Sciences students and ana...
Gomes-Sampaio , L. M.; Cláudia-Ferreira , A.; Prata, J. C.; Azevedo , R. M. S.; Pacheco , P.; Campos , C.; Novais , C.; Peixe , L.Background: Staphylococcus aureus is the leading bacterial cause of death globally [1]. Nasal carriage of S. aureus increases the risk of invasive infections, including by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, but studies including Portuguese university students (PUS) are scarce. Objective: To analyse the prevalence of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA among PUS enrolled in different c...
