Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): antibiotic-resistance and the biofilm phenotype.

MedChemComm, 2019
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an asymptomatic colonizer of 30% of all human beings. While generally benign, antibiotic resistance contributes to the success of S. aureus as a human pathogen.

Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusin Poultry

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been detected in several species and animal-derived products. To determine whether MRSA is present in poultry, we sampled 50 laying hens and 75 broiler chickens. MRSA was found in some broiler chickens but no laying hens. In all samples, spa type t1456 was found.

Mesoporous Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Loaded with IR‐820 for Antibacterial Activity via Magnetic Hyperthermia Combined with Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study addresses bacterial biofilm resistance by developing mesoporous Fe3O4 nanoparticles loaded with photosensitizer IR‐820, enabling combined antimicrobial photodynamic therapyand magnetic hyperthermia therapy. The system achieves magnetic targeting, heat‐triggered drug release under alternating magnetic fields, and near‐infrared‐induced ROS ...

The Frequency of MRSA carriers in health care workers in Gorgan, North of Iran [PDF]

, 2011
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important pathogen in hospitals. Healthcare personnel are the main source of nosocomial infections and identification and control of MRSA carriers can reduce incidence of infections ...

Do CVD grown graphene films have antibacterial activity on metallic substrates? [PDF]

Carbon 84 (2015) 310-316, 2014
Accurate assessment of the antibacterial activity of graphene requires consideration of both the graphene fabrication method and, for supported films, the properties of the substrate. Large-area graphene films produced by chemical vapor deposition were grown directly on copper substrates or transferred on a gold substrate and their effect on the ...

Staphylococcus aureus methicillin-resistance mechanisms

Vojnosanitetski pregled, 2008
Background/Aim. In many hospitals in the world and in our country, the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is so wide that nowdays vancomycin is recommended for empiric treatment of staphylococcal life threatening infections (sepsis, pneumonia) instead of beta-lactam antibiotics.

The Detection Of Methicillin Resistance In Staphylococcus Aureus [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1969
Summary Some methicillin-resistant cultures of Staphylococcus aureus give equivocal results when tested in disk diffusion tests or tube dilution MIC tests incubated at 37°C. Practically all resistant cultures have the following characters: (1) they give growth up to or to within 1 mm of a 10 μg methicillin disk in a disk diffusion test on nutrient agar

Advancements in Carbon‐Based Piezoelectric Materials: Mechanism, Classification, and Applications in Energy Science

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon‐based piezoelectric materials are systematically categorized based on their structural and functional properties. The mechanisms of stress‐induced charge transfer are elucidated, and their applications are explored across three key domains: piezoelectric catalysis for energy conversion and environmental remediation, piezoelectric biomedical ...
