Investigating the Prevalence of Enterotoxin and Antibiotic Resistance in Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolated From Meat and Edible Viscera of Broiler Chickens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
The results indicated high prevalence of MRSA in broilers, which is very worrying issue. It was observed that due to the increase in the use of antibiotics in poultry farming, bacteria resistant to methicillin and other antibiotics have a high prevalence.

Probiotic‐Based Approaches for Sustainable Control of Infectious Risk in Mass Transport: Current Data and Future Perspectives

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.
High‐traffic areas, such as mass transportation environments, can have a significant impact on infection transmission, and chemical disinfection may favour the selection of drug‐resistant microbes. Probiotic‐based approaches have the potential to be a novel and ecologically sustainable option for controlling bioburden and preventing infections ...

SCCmec Genotypes of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Nasal Carriage of Multiple Sclerosis Patients in Iran

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2019
Background: Asymptomatic nasal colonization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus is common in Multiple Sclerosis patients. SCCmec types I to III are mainly attributed to HA-MRSA strains whereas SCCmec types IV and V have commonly been reported ...

An unexpected location of the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) in a USA300-related MRSA strain.

PLoS ONE, 2011
In methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) was initially described in USA300 (t008-ST8) where it is located downstream of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec).

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) in coagulase negative staphylococci

Medicina Universitaria, 2015
AbstractCoagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main causative agents of bacteremia. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus are the CoNS species most frequently isolated. These species are often associated with infections in immunocompromised patients who have a medical device implant.

CC8 MRSA Strains Harboring SCCmec Type IVc are Predominant in Colombian Hospitals

PLoS ONE, 2012
Contexte Des rapports récents soulignent l'incursion du SARM associé à la communauté dans les établissements de soins de santé. Cependant, la connaissance de ce phénomène reste limitée en Amérique latine. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer l'épidémiologie moléculaire du SARM dans trois hôpitaux de soins tertiaires à Medellín, en Colombie ...
