Results 31 strains of Staphylococcus sp were identified in some hospital-acquired-infections. 46.7% of Staphylococcus aureus were methicilin resistant. Bloodstream infection (BSI) was the most prevalent site of infection of MRSA (40%) as well as for methicilin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (62.5%). Symptoms of infection had began as early as 8.5 days and as late as 11 days (average tim...

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) is the major pathogenic species of dogs involved in a wide variety of skin and soft tissue infections. The accessory gene regulator (agr) locus of Staphylococcus aureus has been extensively studied, and it influences the expression of many virulence genes. It encodes a two-component signal transduction system that leads to down-regulation of surfa...

The most common microbiological pathogens of reproductive tract disease in the horse are Streptococcus sp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The standard approach to the detection of these pathogenic bacteria is to culture the reproductive tracts of the mare or stallion. One or more general purpose media such as horse blood agar (HBA) o...
