Characterization of integrative and conjugative elements carrying antibiotic resistance genes of Streptococcus suis isolated in China
22 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis, an emerging zoonotic pathogen, is important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes that play critical roles in the horizontal transfer of corresponding resistances. In the present study, 656 antibiotic resistance (AR) genes were detected in 154 of 155 genomes of S. suis strains isolated from the nasopharynx of slaughtered pigs and the lungs of diseased pigs in China. The AR genes were...
