Molecular diversity and characterization of tetracycline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from a poultry processing plant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA fingerprinting and molecular characterization showed that the tetracycline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus population of a South African poultry processing plant comprised one or possibly several tet(K)-containing endemic clones that contaminated chicken and machinery surfaces at all sampled processing stages. The tet(K) gene was transferable by filter mating to S. aureus recipient 80CR5 and was located on a pT181-like plasmid.

The plant kingdom constitutes a source of new chemical compounds, which may be important due to their potential uses in medicine, or their other biological properties. In this study, the effects of Galbanic acid (GA), a sesquiterpene coumarin from roots of Ferula szowitsiana, were investigated as a modulator of antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. Isolates of S. ...

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccus that, in specific conditions, is able to generate various diseases. By secreting different enterotoxins, this bacterium prepares the settings to attack the host; among these, enterotoxins A and B play the most important roles in food poisoning. This study was performed to trace the genes coding enterotoxins A and B in Staphylococcus a...
