A previously undescribed, rapid-growing, non-chromogenic Mycobacterium isolate from a goat lung lesion in Algeria is reported. Biochemical and molecular tools were used for its complete description and showed its affiliation to the Mycobacterium terrae complex. 16S rRNA, rpoB and hsp65 gene sequences were unique. Phylogenetic analyses showed a close relationship with M. terrae sensu strict and Mycobacterium senuense. Culture and biochemical characteristics were generally similar to those of M. terrae and M. senuense. However, in contrast to M. terrae and M. senuense, the isolate was positive for urease production and had faster growth. The mycolic acid profile was distinct from those of M. terrae and M. senuense, thus further supporting the new taxonomic position of the isolate. We propose the name Mycobacterium algericum sp. nov. for this novel species. The type strain is TBE 500028/10(T) (=Bejaia(T)=CIP 110121(T)=DSM 45454(T)).

Diarrhoeagenic E. coli occurrence and antimicrobial resistance of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases isolated from diarrhoea patients attending health facilities in Accra, Ghana

Helena Dela, Beverly Egyir, Ayodele O. Majekodunmi, Eric Behene, Clara Yeboah, Dominic Ackah, Richard N. A. Bongo, Bassirou Bonfoh, Jakob Zinsstag, Langbong Bimi, Kennedy Kwasi Addo

Summary: This study determined the presence of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) and Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) and their antimicrobial resistance patterns among diarrhoea patients in two healthcare facilities in Ghana. The findings showed that the high prevalence of ESBL-PE strains among stool isolates limits the treatment options for diarrhoeal patients, highlighting the importance of routine laboratory testing and strengthened surveillance systems in healthcare facilities.

Summary: This study reviewed the epidemiological reports of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Sudan between 2010 and 2020. It identified 88 cases of CCHF, including 13 fatalities, with the majority concentrated in the Kordofan region. The study calls for the establishment of a genomic-based integrated One Health surveillance and response system.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Integrated Studies on Salmonella and Campylobacter Prevalence, Serovar, and Phenotyping and Genetic of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Middle East-A One Health Perspective

Said Abukhattab, Haneen Taweel, Arein Awad, Lisa Crump, Pascale Vonaesch, Jakob Zinsstag, Jan Hattendorf, Niveen M. E. Abu-Rmeileh

Summary: This study aimed to investigate integrated One Health studies on foodborne illnesses in the Middle East and determine the prevalence, serovars, and antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and genotypes of Salmonella and Campylobacter strains. The results showed that the One Health approach was not rigorously applied in the Middle East countries, and there was an uneven distribution in the reported data between the countries.

Perception of Somali pastoralists in Adadle woreda, Eastern Ethiopia, towards wildlife at the human-animal interface, conservation and wildlife population change

Mohammed Ibrahim, Abdifatah Muhummed, Hamere Melaku, Seid Mohammed, Jakob Zinsstag, Rea Tschopp

Summary: Pastoralists in the Somali Regional State have a negative attitude towards wildlife, considering them as a threat to livestock. Although they have daily encounters with wildlife, most of them do not believe that wildlife can transmit diseases to livestock. They generally dislike wildlife and do not see any benefits in protecting them. Wildlife populations have decreased in the past decade, which has implications for conservation efforts.

Effectiveness and profitability of preventive veterinary interventions in controlling infectious diseases of ruminant livestock in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review

Francis Sena Nuvey, Jalil Arkoazi, Jan Hattendorf, Gloria Ivy Mensah, Kennedy Kwasi Addo, Gunther Fink, Jakob Zinsstag, Bassirou Bonfoh

Summary: Agriculture, particularly livestock production, is crucial for livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa. Lack of control of infectious diseases significantly affects livestock productivity and rural populations. This scoping review found that vaccination is the most effective and profitable method for controlling infectious livestock diseases in the region. However, implementation of vaccination programs must address field challenges such as pathogen surveillance and optimal vaccine delivery tools.

State of Knowledge on the Acquisition, Diversity, Interspecies Attribution and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance between Humans, Animals and the Environment: A Systematic Review

Helene Meier, Keira Spinner, Lisa Crump, Esther Kuenzli, Gertraud Schuepbach, Jakob Zinsstag

Summary: Resistance to antibiotics is a pressing global public health concern and has significant impacts on health and the economy. Despite joint research efforts, the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between humans, animals, and the environment remains unclear. This systematic review aims to examine the current understanding of AMR acquisition, diversity, and interspecies spread.

Antibacterial Effects of X-ray and MRI Contrast Media: An In Vitro Pilot Study

Michael P. Bronnimann, Lea Hirzberger, Peter M. Keller, Monika Gsell-Albert

Summary: This study examined the antibacterial effect and mechanism of action of iodinated X-ray contrast agents and complexed lanthanide MRI contrast solutions on six different microorganisms. Bacteria were exposed to media containing contrasting agents at different concentrations and pH levels for varying durations. The antibacterial effect was further tested using agar disk diffusion analysis and the microdilution inhibition method. Bactericidal effects were observed at low concentrations and low pH, specifically for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Summary: Animal tuberculosis is widespread in Nigeria, but active surveillance and control measures are lacking. This study conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess the distribution of tuberculosis in animals and analyze potential factors in Nigeria. The overall prevalence of tuberculosis was 7% and it was found in cattle, goats, sheep, camels, and wildlife. The occurrence of infection was significantly influenced by publication period, geographical location, sample size, and detection methods.

Summary: This study investigated the microbial quality and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria found in Ready-to-Eat (RTE) food, water, and palm swab samples. The samples were collected from food vending sites in Accra, Ghana, between 2019 and 2020. The results showed the presence of various bacteria species in the samples, with some showing resistance to commonly used antibiotics. The study also highlighted the high levels of bacterial contamination in RTE food and water, indicating their unsafe condition. The findings emphasize the need for continuous surveillance in the food industry and the enforcement of food safety laws in Ghana.
