Identification of a highly transmissible animal-independent Staphylococcus aureus ST398 clone with distinct genomic and cell adhesion properties. [PDF]

, 2012
A methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone known as ST398 has emerged as a major cause of acute infections in individuals who have close contact with livestock.

Rational Design of Toxoid Vaccine Candidates for Staphylococcus aureus Leukocidin AB (LukAB)

Toxins, 2019
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infections cause high mortality and morbidity in humans. Being central to its pathogenesis, S. aureus thwarts the host defense by secreting a myriad of virulence factors, including bicomponent, pore-forming leukotoxins.

Arthritis Caused by MRSA CC398 in a Patient without Animal Contact, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Clonal complex 398 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a typical lineage of livestock-associated MRSA. We report a case of intractable arthritis of the shoulder joint caused by a multidrug-resistant Panton-Valentine leukocidin–positive ...

Investigating the Prevalence of Enterotoxin and Antibiotic Resistance in Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolated From Meat and Edible Viscera of Broiler Chickens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
The results indicated high prevalence of MRSA in broilers, which is very worrying issue. It was observed that due to the increase in the use of antibiotics in poultry farming, bacteria resistant to methicillin and other antibiotics have a high prevalence.

Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Carrying Panton-Valentine Leucocidin Genes: Their Frequency, Antimicrobial Patterns, and Association With Infectious Disease in Shahrekord City, Southwest Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Background: A diversity of virulence factors work together to create the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus. These factors include cell surface components that promote adherence to surfaces as well as exoproteins such as Panton-Valentine leukocidin ...

LukMF′ is the major secreted leukocidin of bovine Staphylococcus aureus and is produced in vivo during bovine mastitis

Scientific Reports, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human and animal pathogen and a common cause of mastitis in cattle. S. aureus secretes several leukocidins that target bovine neutrophils, crucial effector cells in the defence against bacterial pathogens.

Prevalence, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern and Associated Factors of Staphylococcus Aureus Among Camel's Raw Milk in Babile District, Oromia, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
This graphical abstract text can be better represented through illustrations for milk samples, bacteria, risk factors (e.g., handwashing, containers), and antibiotic resistance patterns for clearer understanding and to increase engagement. ABSTRACT Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a versatile pathogen that causes diseases. Raw milk is an

Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus infections to consider in designing an effective vaccine. [PDF]

, 2010
_Staphylococcus aureus_ is a very versatile and adaptable microorganism. It can potentially infect virtually any host tissue. Given the appropriate conditions it can become a life-threatening pathogen, or a commensal colonizer of the nose.
