Researchers Identify Multidrug-Resistant E. coli Bacteria in New Jersey Patient
Researchers Identify Multidrug-Resistant E. coli Bacteria in New Jersey Patient
New Jersey researchers have identified what is believed to be the first strain of Escherichia coli bacteria from a patient in the United States that harbored two mobile genes, making it resistant to both broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotics and colistin, an older antibiotic increasingly used as a last resort for multidrug-resistant infections.Their report was published in mBio, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.The strain of bacteria, isolated in 2014 from a 76-year-old man with a complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) but further analyzed in 2016, was found to carry the genes mcr-1 and blaNDM-5, which confer resistance to colistin and carbapenems, respectively.

New cheese alert after child's E. coli death
A three-year-old girl from Dunbartonshire who died from E. coli O157 was among 20 confirmed cases that emerged in July and linked to Dunsyre Blue cheese made by South Lanarkshire-based Errington Cheese.On Saturday, Food Standards Scotland ordered the withdrawal from sale of batch G14 of Lanark White (unpasteurized) ewe milk cheese, adding, "A sample from a batch of Lanark White submitted for testing by South Lanarkshire Council has tested positive for E. coli O157.Although this organism may not carry shiga toxins, it is associated with human disease in the UK, so this cheese is a potential risk to health.
