Staphylococcus aureus carriage in selected kindergartens in Klang Valley [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Nasal colonisation of S. aureus in healthy children was 18% to 30%. One to three percent of them were colonised by Methicillin-resistant Staphlycoccus aureus (MRSA). Although MRSA infection has become increasingly reported, population-based

Identification of a carbohydrate-based endothelial ligand for a lymphocyte homing receptor. [PDF]

, 1991
Lymphocyte attachment to high endothelial venules within lymph nodes is mediated by the peripheral lymph node homing receptor (pnHR), originally defined on mouse lymphocytes by the MEL-14 mAb.

Identification and detection of methicillin resistance in Non-Epidermidis coagulase-negative staphylococci

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
The NCCLS (2004) presented a new methodology to detect, by disk-diffusion agar, oxacillin-resistance using a cefoxitin disk. We identified coagulase-negative staphylococci (SCoN) to the species level and compared the use of cefoxitin disks (30 µg) with ...

Distribution of mecA gene amongst Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Southwestern Nigeria

African Journal of Biomedical Research, 2013
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important pathogen in human infections and is implicated in a wide variety of infections, from mild skin infections to more serious and invasive infections. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the major causes of nosocomial infection in hospital setting.

In vitro mecA gene transfer among Staphylococcus aureus in Malaysian clinical isolates

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2011
A simple experiment was performed to observe in vitro transfer of mecA gene from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , Malaysian clinical isolates, to methicillin-sensitive one. PCR-based method was used in combination with the selective antibiotic screening method to study the transfer of resistance among clinical isolates carrying ...
