“… Widespread Beta-Lactamase Resistance Genes Pose Growing Threat Across One Health Domains in the US

A comprehensive review of research highlights the widespread distribution of beta-lactamase resistance genes, such as blaCTX-M-15 and blaCMY-2, across human, animal, and environmental sources in the U.S., underscoring the role of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in public health. The study, which analyzed 335 articles, found significant variation in the prevalence of these genes, with human samples exhibiting the highest rates. The findings emphasize the need for integrated AMR surveillance across the One Health continuum, particularly to address the spread of resistant strains like E. coli sequence type ST131, which is linked to the critical third-generation cephalosporin resistance. The study advocates for targeted surveillance efforts to manage and mitigate the risks associated with these resistance genes in both human and animal health. …”
