Chromosomal integration of a bcrRABD-carrying integrative and conjugative element increases bacitracin resistance in Clostridium perfringens following restrictions in antimicrobial use in Canadian broiler chickens

Abstract Background In response to the threat of antimicrobial resistance, the Chicken Farmers of Canada banned the prophylactic use of Category II antimicrobials in 2018, thereby increasing the reliance on bacitracin to prevent necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. This study...

A Chromosome-level Genome Assembly of the Potato Leafhopper Empoasca fabae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

ABSTRACT The potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris, 1841), is a highly polyphagous, migratory insect pest of eastern North America that feeds on more than 200 herbaceous and woody plant species, causing substantial losses to forage and field crops. Despite its agricultural an...

Microbiological and genomic approaches to study and characterize co- and cross-resistance to antimicrobial peptides in Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19,111 variants

Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides are considered a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for controlling Listeria monocytogenes , a major foodborne pathogen. However, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, including co- and cross-resistance between struct...
