Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to public health. use in animal husbandry concern since it can favor an increase antimicrobial among farms. Herein, we aim better understand and characterize the main resistome profiles microbial communities found pig Sampling of swine manure was performed two different timepoints (October 2019 January 2020) each 14 farms, located mesoregion Western Santa Catarina state Brazil, pole product production worldwide importance. Samples were divided into three groups: farms with opened regimen no usage antimicrobials (F1; n = 10), closed (F2; 16), (F3; 2). The metagenomic evaluation obtain identify genetic elements related using nanopore sequencing. We used ResistoXplorer software perform composition, alpha beta diversity, clustering analysis. In addition, PCR reactions confirm presence or absence seven beta-lactamase family genes five phosphoethanolamine transferase gene variants clinically relevant. Our findings based on identification at mechanism level showed prevalence alteration drug target (72.3%) profile, followed by inactivation (17.5%) efflux (10.1%). identified predominantly aminoglycosides (45.3%), tetracyclines (15.9%), multiclass (11,2%) genes. PCoA analysis indicates differences between F1 F2 profiles. samples increased diversity when compared group. herein first report mcr-4 slurry sample (C1F1.1) State. general, our reinforce that many factors practices are involved profile class levels. Further studies microbiome mobilome aspects these necessary elucidate transmission pathways bacteria environments.

This study aimed determine if topical ivermectin treatment endemic hookworm (Uncinaria sanguinis) infection endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) pups resulted microbial changes. was characterised untreated (control) (n = 23) treated sampled during 2019 2020/21 breeding seasons at Seal Bay, Kangaroo Island. Samples were collected pre- post-treatment up four occasions over a four-to-five-month period. both dominated by five bacterial phyla, Fusobacteria, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria Bacteroidetes.
