An epidemiological study of the predictors of multidrug resistance and methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus spp. isolated from canine specimens submitted to a diagnostic laboratory in Tennessee, USA [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Understanding drivers of multidrug resistance (MDR) and methicillin resistance, which have increased among canine staphylococcal isolates, is essential for guiding antimicrobial use practices.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018 Since the 1960s, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged, disseminated globally and become a leading cause of bacterial infections in both health-care and community settings. However, there is marked geographical variation in MRSA burden owing to several factors, including differences in local infection control practices and ...

Immunofluorescence Targeting PBP2a Protein: A New Potential Methicillin Resistance Screening Test [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 The indiscriminate use of first-line drugs contributed to the spread of resistant bacteria, a major concern for both human and veterinary medicine. Methicillin resistance is acquired through the mecA gene, which encodes for the PBP2a protein and lends ...

Methicillin Resistance of Food-Borne Biofilm-Forming Staphylococci
Applied Sciences, 2023 The aim of this study was to evaluate the biofilm-forming ability and the resistance of planktonic cells and biofilm to methicillin (MIC and MBC, and log CFU/cm2 reduction, respectively).

High-level mupirocin resistance in methicillin-resistant staphylococci isolated from dogs and cats
BMC Veterinary Research, 2019 Background Mupirocin is one of the few antimicrobials active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and is frequently used for the eradication of MRSA nasal colonisation in humans.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1988 Strains of staphylococci resistant to methicillin were identified immediately after introduction of this drug. Methicillin-resistant strains have unusual properties, the most notable of which is extreme variability in expression of the resistance trait.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1961 Eighteen strains of Staph. pyogenes (nine penicillin-sensitive and nine penicillin-destroying) were passaged 40 to 50 times on Celbenin1 ditch plates. All strains developed an increase in resistance to Celbenin and eight strains (four penicillin-sensitive and four penicillin-destroying) were able to grow in 100 μg/ml.

Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Introduction: Staphylococci are common human commensals that acquire methicillin resistance via the mecA gene. Methicillin resistance in staphylococci from various clinical sources has been assessed using cefoxitin disc diffusion test (CDDT) and PCR ...
