Tracking Infection and Genetic Divergence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus at Pets, Pet Owners, and Environment Interface

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has become a leading animal and public health pathogen that keeps on transferring from one host to other, giving rise to newer strains by genetic shifts. The current study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and

Whole-genome comparison of two Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from a single patient, where resistance developed during tigecycline therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Objectives The whole genomes of two Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered from a single patient were sequenced to gain insight into the nature and extent of genomic plasticity in this important nosocomial pathogen over the course of a short ...

Staphylococcus aureus temperate bacteriophage: carriage and horizontal gene transfer is lineage associated. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of human and animal infections. Bacteriophage are a class of mobile genetic element (MGE) that carry virulence genes and disseminate them horizontally, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), the immune evasion

Detection of mecA Gene and Identification of Potential Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in Hospital Wastewater Samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important causes of hospital infections worldwide. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) tends to be resistant to multiple antibiotics.

Evidence for the evolutionary steps leading to mecA-mediated β-lactam resistance in staphylococci. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2017
The epidemiologically most important mechanism of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is associated with mecA-an acquired gene encoding an extra penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) with low affinity to virtually all β-lactams.

Identification of MRSA(methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) by mecA gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that may be found in the skin and upper respiratory system. Although S.aureus is a normal flora, it has evolved into an opportunistic pathogen that causes numerous infections that are difficult to cure due to the ...
