A longitudinal study reveals persistence of antimicrobial resistance on livestock farms is not due to antimicrobial usage alone Open
Introduction There are concerns that antimicrobial usage (AMU) is driving an increase in multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria so treatment of microbial infections is becoming harder in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to evalua…

A genomic epidemiological study shows that prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacterales is associated with the livestock host, as well as antimicrobial usage Open
Enterobacterales from livestock are potentially important reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to pass through the food chain to humans, thereby increasing the AMR burden and affecting our ability to tackle infections. In this stu…

Niche and local geography shape the pangenome of wastewater- and livestock-associated Enterobacteriaceae Open
The pangenome of Escherichia coli from nearby farms shows how livestock host and local geography shape bacterial populations.

Genomic network analysis of environmental and livestock F-type plasmid populations Open
F-type plasmids are diverse and of great clinical significance, often carrying genes conferring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases, particularly in Enterobacterales. Organising this plasmid diversity is c…

Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in slaughtered pigs in England Open
This study was performed to investigate the occurrence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) in batches of pigs at slaughter and at different stages along the slaughter line. Nasal and ear skin swabs…

Genomic network analysis of an environmental and livestock IncF plasmid population Open
IncF plasmids are diverse and of great clinical significance, often carrying genes conferring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases, particularly in Enterobacteriaceae . Organising this plasmid diversity is …

Niche and local geography shape the pangenome of wastewater- and livestock-associated<i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> Open
Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae are highly diverse species with ‘open’ pangenomes 1,2 , where genes move intra- and inter-species via horizontal gene transfer 3 . These species can cause clinical infections 4,5 as well as per…

How do pig farms maintain low <i>Salmonella</i> prevalence: a case-control study Open
Salmonella prevalence in UK pigs is amongst the highest in Europe, highlighting the need to investigate pig farms which have managed to maintain a low Salmonella seroprevalence. A total of 19 pig farms that had a consistently low (<10%) se…
