    Abstract The emergence of fluoroquinolone and macrolide resistance in C. jejuni, a recognized zoonotic pathogen, has increased worldwide. This study aimed to investigate phenotypic resistance to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin, the molecular mechanisms involved, and the strain of C. jejuni isolated from broiler carcasses. Eighty C. jejuni isolates from broiler carcasses in southern Brazil were investigated for their susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin at minimal inhibitory concentrations. Mismatch amplification mutation assay-polymerase chain reaction (MAMA-PCR) was performed to detect substitutions of Thr-86-Ile, A2074C, and A2075G of domain V in the 23S rRNA. The presence of ermB gene and CmeABC operon were investigated by PCR. DNA sequencing was used to detect substitutions in the L4 and L22 proteins of the erythromycin-resistant strains. The Short Variable Region (SVR) of flaA was used to type all the strains resistant to both antimicrobials. Ciprofloxacin and erythromycin resistance were detected in 81.25% and 30.00% of the strains, respectively, and minimal inhibitory concentration values ranged from ≤ 0.125 to 64 µg/mL for ciprofloxacin and 0.5 to > 128 µg/mL for erythromycin. The Thr-86-Ile mutation in gyrA was observed in 100% of the ciprofloxacin-resistant strains. Mutations in both the A2074C and A2075G positions of 23S rRNA were observed in 62.5% of the erythromycin-resistant strains, while 37.5% had only the mutation A2075G. None of the strains harbored CmeABC operon, and ermB was not detected. Using DNA sequencing, the amino acid substitution T177S was detected in L4, and substitutions I65V, A103V, and S109A were detected in L22. Twelve flaA-SVR alleles were identified among the strains, with the most common SVR-flaA allele, type 287, covering 31.03% of ciprofloxacin- and erythromycin-resistant isolates. The present study revealed a high incidence and high levels of resistance to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin, as well as broad molecular diversity in C. jejuni isolates from broiler carcasses.

    Abstract The class Mollicutes comprises microorganisms that lack a cell wall, highly dependent on their host to survive. Within Mollicutes, the genus Spiroplasma comprises motile helical microorganisms associated with various insects and other arthropods. This study aimed to detect and characterize Mollicutes microorganisms in ticks of different species of veterinary importance, using molecular techniques. These ticks were collected from dogs, cats, cattle, and horses from Rio de Janeiro's metropolitan regions. They were morphologically classified and pooled according to their species for subsequent DNA extraction. These samples were tested by PCR using class Mollicutes-specific primers (16S rRNA) and positive amplicons were sequenced. The obtained DNA sequences were compared with other Mollicutes sequences deposited in GenBank. We found that four out of 745 (0.54%) of the tick pools were positive for members of the class Mollicutes, identified as Spiroplasma spp.; of the positive pools, one comprised Amblyomma sculptum adults and three comprised Dermacentor nitens nymphs. The present study describes Spiroplasma spp. in ticks in Brazil for the first time. Nevertheless, due to few reports on these microorganisms, further studies on epidemiology, virulence, and pathogenicity are needed.

    Abstract This study aimed to identify molecular markers associated with antimicrobial resistance and genotype isolates of Campylobacter spp. from broiler and swine flocks due to its importance to one-health. C. jejuni (n=27) and C. coli (n = 35) strains were screened for the antimicrobial genetic markers C257T in gyrA, A2074C and A2075G in 23S rRNA, CmeABC, ermB, tetO and blaOXA61 by PCR. Fifteen strains had SVR-flaA and porA genes sequenced to evaluate their genetic diversity. Among C. jejuni strains 62.96% had C257T mutation and only one strain had A2075G mutation. CmeA, cmeB, cmeC, tetO and blaOXA61 were detected respectively in 92.59%, 100%, 100%, 85.19%, 85.19% of the strains. All C. coli had C257T mutation; 48.75% had A2075G and cmeA, cmeB, cmeC, tetO, blaOXA61 were detected in 8.57%, 94.29%, 91.43%, 91.43%, 80%, respectively. Twelve porA and SVR-flaA alleles were detected, with a Simpson index of diversity value of 0.962.

    Abstract Newcastle disease is characterized by respiratory manifestations in association with nervous and/or digestive symptoms. Its prevention is done by vaccination with live attenuated (lentogenic strains) and/or killed vaccines. The lentogenic strains can lead to strong post-vaccination reaction, principally due to the presence of other pathogenic agents. Among them, Mycoplasma synoviae is worldwide important, mainly in Brazil. The dissemination of this agent in poultry flocks has been achieved due to difficulties in diagnosis and disease reproduction, virulence variations among different M.synoviae strains, and attribution of typical M.synoviae disease manifestation to other disease agents. This experimental study in SPF chicks (Gallus gallus), previously infected by M.synoviae and thereafter vaccinated against Newcastle disease, was done with the objective of evaluating M.synoviae pathogenicity through assessment of post-vaccinal respiratory reactions and serologic responses to Newcastle disease virus vaccine in the absence of environmental factors. A total of 86 three days old chicks were used, being 57 infected by eye and nostril drop, with chicken activated M. synoviae strain WVU 1853. Seven days later, 21 mycoplasma infected birds plus 29 not mycoplasma infected ones were vaccinated against Newcastle disease. As results, the not infected and vaccinated birds yielded, significantly, higher and longer lasting serologic responses to Newcastle disease vaccine virus than those infected and vaccinated. Similarly, the infected and vaccinated birds yielded lower serologic reactions to M.synoviae than those only mycoplasma infected. No post-vaccinal respiratory reaction was observed in the vaccinated birds.
