Major Families of Multiresistant Plasmids from Geographically and Epidemiologically Diverse Staphylococci [PDF]
Staphylococci are increasingly aggressive human pathogens suggesting that active evolution is spreading novel virulence and resistance phenotypes. Large staphylococcal plasmids commonly carry antibiotic resistances and virulence loci, but relatively few ...

Staphylococci in poultry intestines: a comparison between farmed and household chickens1
Both pathogenic as well as nonpathogenic species of staphylococci have been reported in poultry, but these studies have not compared staphylococcal flora of both farmed and household broiler chickens.

Commensal Staphylococci Influence Staphylococcus aureus Skin Colonization and Disease
Commensal organisms that constitute the skin microbiota play a pivotal role in the orchestration of cutaneous homeostasis and immune competence. This balance can be promptly offset by the expansion of the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus ...

Coagulase-negative staphylococci in bovine sub-clinical mastitis [PDF]
Mastitis is a common disease in dairy cows. The majority of the cases are sub-clinical, and many of those are due to infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). CNS is a heterogeneous group of bacteria consisting of a large number of different
