UNASSIGNED: Limited information is available for horse-associated @entity3013 ( @entity3013 ) @entity526 . The current study was designed to evaluate the frequency and characterize the pattern of @entity3013 @entity526 from healthy @entity1641 -associated samples. From 3,078 samples collected from 3 national racetracks and 14 private @entity1641 -riding courses in Korea, 143 @entity526 (4.6%) were isolated. Thirty of the @entity526 isolates (21%) showed antimicrobial resistance to at least 1 antimicrobial agent. Four of the @entity3013 @entity526 (13.3%) were defined as multi-drug resistant @entity526 . Most of the @entity3013 @entity526 harbored @entity3013 genes corresponding to their antimicrobial resistance phenotypes. Four of the @entity3013 @entity526 carried @entity69585 gene ( @entity59499 ), a gene associated with multi-drug resistance. Pulsed-field gel electrophoretic analysis showed no genetic relatedness among @entity3013 @entity526 isolated from different facilities but cross-transmissions between @entity1641 or @entity1641 and0 environments were detected in 2 facilities. Although the cross-transmission of @entity3013 @entity526 in @entity1641 and their environments was generally low, our study suggests a possible risk of transmission of @entity3013 bacteria between @entity1641 and @entity1 . Further studies are needed to evaluate the risk of possible transmission of @entity1641 -associated @entity3013 bacteria to @entity1 communities through @entity1641 riders and @entity1641 -care workers.

Isolation and characterization of antimicrobial-resistant XXXX from national @entity1641 racetracks and private @entity1641 -riding courses in Korea.
