Geleneksel olarak halk elinde üretilen peynirlerde çok sayıda patojen mikroorganizma (örn., Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes, S. aureus) bulunabilmektedir. Bu durum, çiğ süt kalite standardının olmaması, üretim hijyeninin yetersizliği, peynirin olgunlaşmadan tüketime sunulması gibi nedenlerden kaynaklanmakta ve sağlığını tehdit eden bir unsur karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. aureus, gıda zehirlenmes...

The occurrence of resistance to the streptogramin quinupristin-dalfopristin in Enterococcus faecium isolates from chickens on the Eastern Seaboard, was evaluated. Quinupristin-dalfopristin resistance was found in 51 to 78% of E. faecium isolates from the food production environment. The high level of resistance in this organism suggests that this reservoir of resistance may compromise the thera...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineage ST398 and methicillin-susceptible lineage ST9 strains have their main reservoir in swine but can colonize and cause infections in humans. The phenicol/lincosamide/oxazolidinone/pleuromutilin/streptogramin A multidrug resistance gene cfr was detected in isolates of both clonal lineages, rendering a spread to humans with exposure to swine...

Empirical treatment options for staphylococcal infections have become limited, as the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains have increased. Clindamycin has been a useful option for treating skin and soft-tissue infections caused by MRSA. However, expression of inducible macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance (MLS(B)i) to clindamycin could limit the e...

Pristinamycin is a synergistic combination of streptogramin A (pristinamycin IIA) and streptogramin B (pristinamycin IB) compounds, licensed in France and some other European countries. This oral antibiotic has been considered as an alternative treatment for infections due to penicillinand macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae because streptogramins remain active against streptococci and...
