Detection of antibiotic resistance profiles and aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme (AME) genes in high-level aminoglycoside-resistant (HLAR) enterococci isolated from raw milk and traditional cheeses in Turkey

Aksaray İli̇nde Satişa Sunulan Tulum Peyni̇rleri̇nden İzole Edi̇len Enterokoklarin Anti̇bi̇yoti̇k Di̇rençli̇li̇kleri̇ İle Hemoli̇ti̇k Akti̇vi̇teleri̇ni̇n Beli̇rlenmesi̇

“…Yerlikaya and Akbulut (2020) reported that all of the Enterococcus strains were fully sensitive to vancomycin in İzmir Tulum cheese. Similar results were also reported by Ozdemir and Tuncer (2020). On the other hand, Citak et al (2004) reported very high resistance (96.7 %)forE.…”

“…Furthermore, enterococci have an efficient gene transfer mechanism through horizontal gene transfer and are able to transfer their plasmids encoding virulence genes in the human gastrointestinal tract with a broad range of bacteria, including pathogenic species, which makes treatments hindering (Jahan et al, 2015).Dissemination of MRE and VE is a serious problem worldwide, and the food chain is thought to be a significant vector for the transmission of these transposable genes. Numerous studies have reported the detection of VE and antibioticresistant enterococci for different kinds of cheeses (Jamet et al, 2012;Yogurtcu and Tuncer, 2013;Ispirli et al, 2017;Sanlibaba and Senturk, 2018;Ozdemir and Tuncer, 2020).…”

“…Antibiotic resistance of enterococci isolated from tulum cheese produced in different provinces of Turkey has been studied by several researchers (Yogurtcu and Tuncer, 2013;Ozdemir and Tuncer, 2020;Yerlikaya and Akbulut 2020). As a result of these studies the strains were found to be resistant to different kind of antibiotics, suggesting that resistance of a strains is mostly strain-and region-dependent.…”

Characteristics of High-Level Aminoglycoside-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Isolated from Bulk Tank Milk in Korea

“…Chajęcka-Wierzchowska et al, (2020) [10] reported that 30.2% of the ready-to-eat dairy products in Poland showed HLAR to enterococci. Özdemir and Tuncer (2020) [33] also reported that 59 HLAR enterococci were observed in 100 samples of milk and dairy in Turkey. Furthermore, the high prevalence of HLAR enterococci in Korea compared with that in Poland and Turkey is indirect proof of the consistent use of aminoglycosides to treat bacterial infection in Korea.…”

Screening of Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Genes of Enterococcus Spp. Strains Isolated From Urfa Cheese

“…The Although many enterococci are the endogenous and beneficial microbial part of fermented foods, certain strains are recognized as a nosocomial pathogen and may carry virulence genes and antibiotic resistance characteristics. Misused and uncontrolled antibiotic treatment in human health and animal husbandry result in an increase in the development of antibiotic resistance among commensal bacteria of animal-sourced foods, especially in raw milk and dairy products (Hammad et al, 2015;Mrkonjic Fuka et al, 2017, Özdemir andTuncer, 2020).…”
