Abstract
Growers have depended on the specificity and efficacy of streptomycin and oxytetracycline as a part of their plant disease arsenal since the middle of the 20th century. With climate change intensifying plant bacterial epidemics, the established success of these antibiotics remains threatened. Our strong reliance on certain antibiotics for devastating diseases eventually gave way to resistance development. Although antibiotics in plant agriculture equal to less than 0.5% of overall antibiotic use in the United States, it is still imperative for humans to continue to monitor usage, environmental residues, and resistance in bacterial populations. This review provides an overview of the history and use, resistance and mitigation, regulation, environmental impact, and economics of antibiotics in plant agriculture. Bacterial issues, such as the ongoing Huanglongbing (citrus greening) epidemic in Florida citrus production, may need antibiotics for adequate control. Therefore, preserving the efficacy of our current antibiotics by utilizing more targeted application methods, such as trunk injection, should be a major focus.

Enterobacteria in anaerobic digestion of dairy cattle wastewater: Assessing virulence and resistance for one health security. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 252:121192. [PMID: 38309066 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Samples from a dairy cattle waste-fed anaerobic digester were collected across seasons to assess sanitary safety for biofertilizer use. Isolated enterobacteria (suggestive of Escherichia coli) were tested for susceptibility to biocides, antimicrobials, and biofilm-forming capability. Results revealed a decrease in total bacteria, coliforms, and enterobacteria in biofertilizer compared to the effluent. Among 488 isolates, 98.12 % exhibited high biofilm formation. Biofertilizer isolates exhibited a similar biofilm formation capability as effluent isolates in summer, but greater propensity in winter. Resistance to biocides and antimicrobials varied, with tetracycline resistance reaching 19 %. Of the isolates, 25 were multidrug-resistant (MDR), with 64 % resistant to three drugs. Positive correlations were observed between MDR and increased biofilm formation capacity in both samples, while there was negative correlation between MDR and increased biocide resistance. A higher number of MDR bacteria were found in biofertilizer compared to the effluent, revealing the persistence of E. coli resistance, posing challenges to food safety and public health.

Abstract
Since the first natural carbazole alkaloid, murrayanine, was isolated from Mwraya Spreng, carbazole alkaloid derivatives have been widely concerned for their anti-tumor, anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities. In recent decades, a growing body of data suggest that carbazole alkaloids and their derivatives have different biological activities. This is the first comprehensive description of the antifungal and antibacterial activities of carbazole alkaloids in the past decade (2012-2022), including natural and partially synthesized carbazole alkaloids in the past decade. Finally, the challenges and problems faced by this kind of alkaloids are summarized. This paper will be helpful for further exploration of this kind of alkaloids.

Virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from commercialized fresh cheese in the south of Espírito Santo. Braz J Microbiol 2023; 54:2063-2071. [PMID: 37261621 PMCID: PMC10484838 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-023-01013-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Cheeses are dairy products that can potentially contain a diverse range of harmful bacteria that could be consumed by humans, including the enteric pathogen Escherichia coli. This study aimed to characterize the presence of total coliforms, assess the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the main commercial antimicrobial classes and biocides, and evaluate the ability of 50 E. coli isolates obtained from fresh cheese sold in the southern region of Espírito Santo, Brazil, to produce biofilms. The counts of total coliforms + E. coli obtained averages of (A) 7.22 × 106 CFU/g, (B) 9.35 × 107 CFU/g, and (C) 1.16 × 106 CFU/g for different brands. All isolates were capable of forming biofilms, with 8%, 76%, and 16% of these isolates presenting high, moderate, and low adherence in biofilm formation, respectively. Most strains showed inhibition halos for the biocides chlorhexidine digluconate 2% (16 mm ± 4.34), iodopovidone 10% (7.14 mm ± 0.36), and sodium hypochlorite 2% (7.12 mm ± 0.33). Out of the 50 strains, 21 (42%) were resistant to at least one of the antimicrobials. Regarding the multiple resistance index, 3 (6%) strains were resistant to 3 or more antimicrobial classes. Furthermore, 2 (4%) were extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producers. Resistance to ampicillin and amoxicillin was observed in 20% and 40% of the strains, respectively. In contrast, gentamicin was the most effective antimicrobial, with a sensitivity rate of 100%. The findings indicate that E. coli present in fresh cheese may possess unique physiological characteristics that could be associated with their persistence, virulence, and multidrug resistance. These results raise significant public health concerns since contaminated food can pose risks to consumers' health, emphasizing the importance of reinforcing hygienic-sanitary controls at all stages of production.

Front Immunol 2022; 12:811616. [PMID: 35087530 PMCID: PMC8786714 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.811616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Massive mortalities caused by bacterial infections in intensive aquaculture result in serious economic losses. In this study, a novel antimicrobial peptide gcIFN-20H was efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris (GS115) and loaded on carboxylmethyl chitosan (CMCS) to prepare CMCS-20H nanoparticles. Through physical characterization assays (TEM, DLS, BCA, and Raman) and biological activity tests (antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity), CMCS-20H nanopeptide was verified to be spherical nanoparticles with sustained release, antimicrobial activity, and negligible toxicity. CMCS-20H nanoparticles are more resistant to intestinal degradation than unloaded gcIFN-20H by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Oral administration was then carried out for 42 days. Complement C3 content, lysozyme, and total superoxide dismutase activities are highest in CMCS-20H group by serum biochemistry index assays. After challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila, the survival rate in CMCS-20H group is highest (46%), which is 64% higher than the control group (28%). Meanwhile, the tissue bacterial loads (intestine, spleen, head kidney, trunk kidney, hepatopancreas, muscle, and blood) in the CMCS-20H group are significantly lower than other groups. By PAS staining analysis, the number of intestinal villi goblet cells and the thickness of mucin in the CMCS-20H group obviously increased. CMCS-20H effectively enhances mRNA expressions of some important immune genes (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-2, IFN-γ2, and IgM). The minimal tissue lesions (Intestine, spleen, and trunk kidney) were seen in the CMCS-20H group by histopathological examination. 16S rRNA sequencing showed that oral CMCS-20H maintains the intestinal microbiome homeostasis in bacterial infection. The results indicate that the novel nanopeptide CMCS-20H as the immunopotentiator can remarkably boost fish immunity and precautionary effect by oral administration and address the theoretical mechanisms and insights into the promising application prospect in aquaculture.
