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

, 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.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Pig Farming

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We conducted a study among a group of 26 regional pig farmers to determine the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prevalence rate and found it was >760 times greater than the rate of patients admitted to Dutch hospitals.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Curcuma longa flower extract and antibacterial activity [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP's) possess inherent biological potentials that have obliged an alternative, eco-friendly, sustainable approach to "Green Synthesis." In the present study, we synthesized Green Silver Nanoparticles (GAgNP's) using Curcuma longa L. (C. longa) flower extract as a reducing and capping agent.

Nasal colonization in children with community acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2016
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a frequent cause of infections. The changing epidemiology of MRSA became evident in the 1990s when CA-MRSA cases were first reported.
