The emergence of carbapenem resistance is a significant public health concern. The rate of
infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Citrobacter spp., particularly C. freundii, is …

Bacterial adaptation to extreme environments is often mediated by horizontal gene transfer
(HGT) via genetic mobile elements. Nevertheless, phage-mediated HGT conferring bacterial …

Abstract In Mexico, bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) are produced as gourmet food.
However, bullfrogs can be carriers of pathogens because the frogs' preferred living …

Olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) turtles migrate across tropical regions of the Atlantic,
Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Worryingly, olive ridley populations have been declining …

Mangrove ecosystems are hotspots of biodiversity, but have been threatened by
anthropogenic activities. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are nosocomial bacteria …

Mounting evidence has shown that antimicrobial agents can interfere synergistically with
bacterial viability and proliferation when acting together at both the planktonic and biofilm …

Clinical metaproteomics has the potential to offer insights into the host-microbiome
interactions underlying diseases. However, the field faces challenges in characterizing …

The genus Citrobacter comprises clinically important human pathogens but has been less
frequently associated with wildlife infections. Citrobacter pasteurii was first identified as …

The demand for terrestrial snails as a food source is still on the increase globally, yet this
has been overlooked in disease epidemiology and the spread of antimicrobial resistance …

We announce the genome sequence of the Citrobacter portucalensis BAU_133-2 strain
isolated from a domestic duck. Our assembled genome contained a length of 4.8 Mb, 110.0× …
