Correlation Between icaA/B/C/D Gene and Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal gram-positive bacterium related to various infections in humans. The ability of S. aureus to form biofilm plays an important role in pathogenesis and the presence of the ica gene is known to be related to this biofilm formation.

Antibiotic Use in Livestock: A Driver of Resistance in Africa and the Path to Safer Alternatives
The incorporation of antibiotics into animal feeds is one of the drivers of antibiotic resistance, a global One Health challenge. To reduce the burden of antibiotic resistance, the use of alternative growth promoters and drugs must be promoted, as well as sensitization and implementation of regulations.

In a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

Influence of Adhesion Force on icaA and cidA Gene Expression and Production of Matrix Components in Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms [PDF]
ABSTRACT The majority of human infections are caused by biofilms. The biofilm mode of growth enhances the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus spp. considerably, because once they adhere, staphylococci embed themselves in a protective, self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs).

Modulation of host cell pathways by Coxiella burnetii Dot/Icm effectors
Abstract Coxiella burnetii, the etiological agent of Q fever, is a significant intracellular bacterial pathogen. C. burnetii is a highly infectious pathogen that primarily targets pulmonary alveolar macrophages during natural infection. It can then disseminate to macrophages in other tissues and organs, leading to chronic infections. C.
