We compared human and bovine isolates of Salmonella enterica using antimicrobial-drug resistance profiles and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. From 2000 through 2006, we observed an increase in a novel multidrug-resistant clone of S. Typhimurium with no recognized phage type. This clone may represent an emerging epidemic strain in the Pacific Northwest.

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance conferred by qnrS1 in Salmonella enterica serovar Virchow isolated from Turkish food of avian origin Avsaroglu, M. D.; Helmuth, R.; Junker, E.; Hertwig, S.; Schroeter, A.; Akcelik, M.; Bozoglu, F.; Guerra, B. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2007-11-01) Objectives: To study the molecular characteristics of the quinolone and associated ampicillin resistance mechanisms present in Salmonella enterica serovar Virchow isolated from Turkish foods.
Salmonella enterica Serotype 4,5,12:i:-, an Emerging Salmonella Serotype That Represents Multiple Distinct Clones Soyer, Yeşim; Davis, M. A.; Maurer, J.; McDonough, P. L.; Schoonmaker-Bopp, D. J.; Dumas, N. B.; Root, T.; Warnick, L. D.; Groehn, Y. T.; Wiedmann, M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2009-11-01) The prevalence, among human clinical cases, of Salmonella enterica serotype 4,5,12: i:-, a serotype antigenically similar to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium but lacking second-phase flagellar antigens, has increased considerably over the last 10 years. To probe the evolution and ecology of this emerging serotype, we characterized 190 Salmonella isolates initially classified as Salmonella serotypes 4,5,12: i:- (n = 90) and Typhimurium (n = 100) and obtained from various sources in the United States ...
Characterisation of local isolates of Enterobacteriaceae from Turkey İçgen, Bülent; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2002-01-01) 20 local isolates of enterics belonging to the genera Salmonella, Enterobacter Proteus, Citrobacter from human, chicken and/or egg were characterised for their antibiotic resistance patterns, plasmid profiles, phage types, outer membrane proteins, and lipopolysaccharide patterns. Relatedness of these characteristics for epidemiological analysis was assessed. 18 (90%) strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic and those (multi-drug resistant ones) resisting to two or more antibiotics constituted 50% o...
Targeted disruption of homoserine dehydrogenase gene in Streptomyces clavuligerus and its effects on cephamycin C production Çaydaşı (Koca), Ayşe; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2006) The members of the genus Streptomyces are well-known for their capacity to synthesize a vast repertoire of secondary metabolites, including many useful antibiotics and proteins. Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics such as cephamycin C and the potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. The aspartate pathway of S. clavuligerus is an important primary metabolic pathway providing substrates for β-lactam synthesis. This pathway uses L-aspartic acid as the ...
Multilocus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Method for Typing Salmonella enterica Serovar Newport Davis, Margaret A.; Baker, Katherine N. K.; Call, Douglas R.; Warnick, Lorin D.; Soyer, Yeşim; Wiedmann, Martin; Grohn, Yrjo; McDonough, Patrick L.; Hancock, Dale D.; Besser, Thomas E. (American Society for Microbiology, 2009-06-01) In recent years, the proportion of Salmonella enterica infections represented by S. enterica serovar Newport has increased markedly among humans and animals. Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) has proven to be useful in discriminating other highly clonal Salmonella serovars. Here, we report on the development of a highly discriminatory MLVA for Salmonella serovar Newport.
