Two out of eight isolates obtained from cattle milk and feces showed characteristics of propionibacteria.

Probe Pap446 identified two isolates as Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici.

The identity of these isolates was confirmed by molecular techniques.

Microscopic and PCR methods may be used as complementary tools to diagnose hookworms.

All hookworm infections in this study were caused by Necator americanus.

This is the first study to provide molecular data on Necator americanus in Argentina.

Imported hookworm infections found here highlight the importance of their assessment in non-endemic areas.

Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 resistant to carbapenems and ceftazidime/avibactam.

KPC-3 and NDM-1 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates are clonally related.

blaNDM-1 is located in a conjugative IncA/C plasmid.

Genetic context of blaNDM-1 presented ISKpn14 and bleMBL.

blaKPC was located in Tn4401a.

This study shows the spread of pathogenic strains of S. aureus misidentified as MSSA.

The majority carried SCCmec type V and were located within the same pulsogroup.

The cefoxitin disk and PBP 2a detection identified to most isolates such as MRSA.

Mycoplasma bovis is frequently detected in bovine respiratory disease.

First local isolation of M. bovis from feedlot calves with pneumonia and polyarthritis in Argentina.

Practitioners should be alerted by the presence of mycoplasma infections causing BRD in the region.

Surveillance is a priority to reduce the source of disease to naïve animals.
