BACKGROUND This study compared the pharmacodynamics of ceftobiprole and vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) using an in vitro model. METHODS Two methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), two community-associated (CA)-MRSA, one healthcare-associated (HA)-MRSA, three VISA and tw...

Sığla tree (Liquidambar orientalis Miller) is an endemic species and the styrax liquidus obtained from its extract has antiparasitic antibacterial properties. Staphylococcus aureus important agent of mastitis, it can be found in milk on collection tank surfaces toxins secretes may cause food poisoning. In this study; It was aimed to investigate effects solution applied for different periods bac...

Traditional dairy products are potential sources of a variety of microorganisms which participate in food poisoning. Staphylococcus aureus is a conspicuous example of toxigenic bacteria causative for food-borne diseases. Moreover, resistance to methicillin is a prominent index in food hygiene studies. In the present study, we have aimed at characterization and identification of enterotoxigenic ...

BACKGROUND The enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus is considered as one of the most important cause of food poisoning that manifests with gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and vomiting. Its complications usually occur when bacterial virulence genes are produced. The most important virulence factors are cell-associated components, exoenzymes, exotoxins, enterotoxins, and enterotoxin-like toxins. OB...

We report here the draft genome sequence of the vancomycin-resistant strain Staphylococcus aureus VRS3b. The 2.8-Mb genome, assembled into 46 contigs, harbored 2,915 putative coding sequences. The G+C content of the genome was 32.7%.

A vaccine composed of three field isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) derived from cases of mastitis in cows was developed. The vaccine was administered to nine uninfected cows while 10 other cows were used as controls. All cows were challenged with a highly virulent S. aureus strain administered into two quarters of each cow. Quarters were tested for clinical signs, secretion of S. a...

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has proven to be a major pathogen with the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections and recently with heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) infections. Although vancomycin is traditionally a first-line and relatively effective antibiotic, its continued use is under question b...

conclusions s. aureus can easily contaminate the chicken nugget and this contamination is usually associated with significant presences of virulence genes. consumption of these nuggets certainly is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. therefore, some food safety and quality standards should be applied and performed in most of the iranian food units to control growth of s. aureus and its v...

Invasive disease following methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) detection is common, regardless of whether initial detection involves colonization or infection. We assessed the genetic relatedness of isolates obtained > or =2 weeks apart representing either repeated infections or colonization-infection sets to determine if infections are likely to be caused by previously harbored ...
