A phylogenetic tree showing the genetic diversity of 34 equine isolates alongside reference genomes. To the right of the tree, a matrix displays the resistome and phenotype: colored dots indicate the presence of specific antibiotic resistance genes (like beta-lactams and quinolones), and a heatmap shows phenotypic resistance levels. The chart highlights that Enterobacter hormaechei strains (ST114 and ST171) carry the most acquired resistance genes compared to Huaxiibacter and Lelliottia species.

An alluvial diagram comparing two identification methods for equine bacterial strains. The left axis shows results from MALDI-TOF, and the right axis shows results from Whole Genome Sequencing (rMLST). Colored bands connecting the two sides illustrate significant discrepancies: many strains initially identified as Enterobacter spp. or "Not determined" by MALDI-TOF were reclassified as Lelliottia, Huaxiibacter, or Rahnella by genomic analysis.

Are horses a reservoir for high-risk Enterobacter? 🐴🏥

Our new #Genomics study reveals the presence of human clones ST114 & ST171 in equine samples.

Essential data for #OneHealth & #AMR monitoring.

A sketch from a talk by Professor Martin Krarup Nielsen on equine parasitology, the normality of parasites, talking about what anti-helmintic (anti-worm) drugs have been previously used in horses, the development of resistance, and the importance of control mechanisms that do not depend on drugs.

What 🐎 parasites are there? What have we done historically & presently to 'treat' them as vets, what resistance to anti-parasite drugs are we now seeing? What can we do differently in the future... seminar @ AU from Prof Martin Nielsen #VetSci 🧪 #Parasitology 🐡 doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2011.10.012
