Summary
This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.
The corrected research examined the level of resistance in two types of the Enterococcus bacteria, isolated from healthy thoroughbred racehorses in Japan, against nine different antibiotics.
Correction Made
In the abstract of the original article on Antimicrobial-Resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis, the authors made an error in naming one of the Enterococcus species discussed. This error was in line 12-16 of the original abstract. The authors issued a corrigendum to correct this mistake and apologize for any confusion caused by it.
Corrected Antibiotic Resistance Information
- The corrected details outlined the resistance rates of E. faecalis isolates against several antibiotics.
- Streptomycin resistance rate was the highest at 90.3% (28 out of 31 samples). This indicates that the majority of the E. faecalis isolates sampled could not be effectively treated with streptomycin.
- Resistance rates for other antibiotics were as follows: kanamycin at 41.9% (13 out of 31 samples), gentamycin at 29.0% (9 out of 31 samples), and lincomycin at 9.7% (3 out of 31 samples).
- Resistance rates continued to decline with oxytetracycline, erythromycin, tylosin, and enrofloxacin each tested at 6.5% (2 out of 31 samples), followed by chloramphenicol at 3.2% (1 out of 31 samples).
- These numbers suggest that, among the sampled E. faecalis bacteria, resistance rates are varied for different antibiotics, with some antibiotics likely to be more effective than others for treatment.
Importance of the Correction
- This correction is important as it addresses a potential source of confusion for readers and other researchers evaluating the original paper or building on this research.
- Additionally, the correct antibiotic resistance rates for these bacterial strains contribute to the existing body of knowledge about antimicrobial resistance in Enterococcus species, particularly those isolated from racehorse populations.
- This information can help veterinarians make more informed decisions about antibiotic usage in treating these infections in thoroughbred racehorses.
