Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a potential pathogen responsible for producing various infectious diseases. Determination of the prevalence S. infections both in animals and humans elucidation their antibiotic resistance pattern crucial. The objective this study was to find out Staphylococcal diseases humans, commonly used antibiotics. Methods: A total 100 animal human clinical...

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is frequently isolated from urine samples obtained from long-term care patients. The significance of staphylococcal bacteriuria is uncertain. We hypothesized that S. aureus is a urinary pathogen and that colonized urine could be a source of future staphylococcal infection. METHODS We performed a cohort study of 102 patients at a long-term care Veterans Affairs...

Staphylococcal peptidoglycan hydrolases are a potential new source of antimicrobials. A large subset harbors C-terminal SH3b_5 cell wall binding domains. These C-terminal domains have been shown to be necessary for accurate cell wall recognition and subsequent staphylolytic activity for some endolysins. Over fifty proteins of staphylococcal or phage origin containing SH3b domains were aligned, ...
