Prevalence of Antimicrobial Use in Small Animal Dermatology Referral Practices in the United States

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health concern driven by antimicrobial use. Dermatological conditions are common reasons for antimicrobial prescriptions in small animal practice, yet data on prescribing patterns in veterinary dermatology referral settings are lacking. Hypothesis/Objectives To characterise the frequency,

Antibiotic Resistance and MecA Gene in Isolates of Staphylococcus spp. in Bats

, 2023
Staphylococcus spp. are among the main pathogens responsible for important infections worldwide, both in humans and in domestic or wild animals. Chiropterans, popularly known as bats, inhabit natural environments and human constructions, and have been considered potential disseminators of several pathogens. Studies have shown the expression of the mecA

Association of virulence genes with mecA gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2015
Staphylococcus aureus is the etiological agent for a wide range of human infections, and its pathogenicity largely depends on various virulence factors associated with adherence, evasion of the immune system and damage of the host. This study determined the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4027-4040, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

Absence of meca gene in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates

African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a serious threat to public health, causing both hospital and community-associated infections. The gold standard for MRSA detection isthe amplification of the mecA gene that codes for the production of the altered penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) responsible for classical methicillin ...

Antibiotics in Veterinary Ophthalmology: Resistance, Stewardship, and Emerging Antibiotic‐Sparing Strategies

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing challenge in veterinary ophthalmology, particularly in cases of bacterial keratitis, where progressive stromal infection can threaten vision and globe integrity within hours to days. This review synthesizes current evidence on pathogen distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, multidrug ...

Absence of the mecC gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various clinical samples: The first multi-centered study in Turkey

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2019
Background: mecA is a predefined gene causing methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates; however, it has been shown that some methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains do not carry this gene. Recently, in isolates found to
