Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus contamination and distribution in patient’s care environment at Muhimbili National Hospital, Dar es Salaam-Tanzania

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective Environmental contamination with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in routine medical care settings poses an increased risk of health care associated infections through cross-transmission. This study aimed at determining the magnitude

Transformation reveals a chromosomal locus of the gene(s) for methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1975
The localization of the gene(s) mediating methicillin (mecr) in Staphylococcus aureus was determined by transformation with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from a natural mecr strain (DU 4916) and transformation obtained with DNA from this strain. Streptomycin resistance genes (strr) and novobiocin resistance genes (novr) were used concurrently as ...

The distribution of plasmids that carry virulence and resistance genes in Staphylococcus aureus is lineage associated. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is major human and animal pathogen. Plasmids often carry resistance genes and virulence genes that can disseminate through S. aureus populations by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms. Sequences of S.

Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

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

, 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

Selenium Nanomaterials for Wound Healing: Synergistic Strategies from Anti‐Infection to Tissue Regeneration

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are emerging as multifunctional platforms for wound healing, integrating antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, and proregenerative activities. This review summarises key mechanisms and recent advances in SeNP‐enabled composite dressings, immunomodulatory nanocomposites, microenvironment‐responsive hydrogels, photothermal and ...

Environmental factors modulate biofilm formation by

Science Progress, 2020
Biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices represents an exclusive evasion mechanism for many pathogenic bacteria to establish chronic infections. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major bacterial pathogens that are able to induce both animal and ...

Livestock-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in pigs - prevalence, risk factors and transmission dynamics [PDF]

, 2011
In 2004, an association between human carriage of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and contact with pigs was found. To assess the implications of this finding for veterinary and public health more insight into the prevalence, risk ...
