Complete genome sequence of Chlamydia psittaci АМК-16, isolated from a small ruminant in the Middle Volga Region, Russia

We report the complete genome sequence of the Chlamydia psittaci АМК-16, recovered from the aborted caprine fetus during a case of chlamydia infection. This 1,152,497-bp genome with 7,552-bp cryptic plasmid provides novel insights into the genetic diversity of chlamydia agent strains particularly those causing the infection in small ruminants.

Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance of Microbiota Associated with Respiratory Diseases of Pigs

Successful treatment of veterinary infectious diseases in the context of widespread use of antibiotic therapy depends on the effectiveness of the drugs used to contain or destroy the etiological agent. It is generally accepted that the resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents is variable, including due to the horizontal movement of resistance with the help of mobile genetic elements. Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern analysis is an important component of the diagnosis and treatment of veterinary diseases. The article describes a study that includes isolation and identification of microorganisms from samples taken from pathological material of pigs and the analysis of sensitivity to eleven antimicrobial drugs by the disk-diffusion method.

Study of Local Irritant Action of a Prototype Drug Based on Esters of Fatty Acids

In this article, we have presented studies of the local irritating effect of a prototype wound-healing preparation based on water-based fatty acid esters with allantoin. The study of local irritant action included use of extreme dilutions of the drug for intradermal and local use in the induction and provocative phases. The assessment was carried out in points, in the experimental group it was on average 1 point, in control animals on average it was also equal to 1. These studies indicate that the composition has a mild skin reaction of sensitized guinea pigs and does not cause an allergic reaction.

Study of antimicrobial resistance for the causative agent of the bovine reproductive system infection by the NGS method

In the present study, the biomaterial specimen derived from a farm animal with a chronic reproductive system infection was carefully investigated using the Next Generation Sequencing method. The bacterial DNA of the genus Enterobacter was detected. The genetic determinants of resistance to 12 classes of antibiotics were identified in the genome of this microorganism. The data obtained highlight the necessity of strengthening global control over the spread of resistant microorganism strains in agriculture especially in the animal husbandry sector.
