In this review of the literature, mastitis-causing coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) and Staphylococcus aureus are compared. Staphylococci are the bacteria most commonly isolated from bovine mastitis, and CNS are now predominant over S. aureus in most countries. CNS include various species, but only a few prevail in bovine mastitis. S. aureus can cause clinical mastitis, but often causes s...

Major challenges in diagnostic molecular microbiology are to develop a simple assay to distinguish Staphylococcus aureus from the less virulent but clinically important coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and to simultaneously determine their antibiotic resistance profiles. Multiplex PCR assays have been developed for the detection of methicillin- and mupirocin-resistant S. aureus and CoNS ...

Abstract. Khairullah AR, Kurniawan SC, Sudjarwo SA, Effendi MH, Afnani DA, Silaen OSM, Putra GDS, Riwu KHP, Widodo A, Ramandinianto SC. 2023. Detection of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci in cow milk hands farmers East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 658-664. Cow is a nutrient-dense food containing various nutrients, i.e., carbohydrates, fat, pro...

this study was carried out to find the extent of staphylococcal carriages including methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus mrsa in employee's of teaching university hospitals in yazd. nasal swabs of 742 employees in four different medical teaching hospitals in yazd were collected, and tested for detection of staphylococci strains. out of 742 employees, 94 (12.7%) were carrier of staphyloco...

nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. the aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. the presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of coagulase negative staphy...

Abstract About 150 million families around the world are engaged in milk production. However, inflammation of mammary gland (mastitis) remains a major problem dairy ruminants that affects quality worldwide. The aim this study was examination udder health with detection contagious and environmental pathogens causing mastitis 960 940 cows ewes, respectively. presence selected virulence factors su...

Background: Staphylococci are recognized worldwide as one of the most important etiological agents of bovine mastitis due to their virulence factors such as their ability to penetrate inside mammary epithelial cells and their ability to form biofilm. Aims: The objectives of this study were to establish a model of primary mammary epithelial cells origin...

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of coagulase-negative staphylococci in clinical and subclinical mastitis in commercial and small-scale farms in Zimbabwe. Thirty five quarter milk samples from clinical mastitis cases and 371 quarter milk samples from cows with subclinical mastitis were cultured for bacterial pathogens. The most frequent pathogens isolated in clinical masti...

conclusions the remarkable rates of biofilm production ability among clinically isolated staphylococci emphasize the necessity of more effective infections control policies to prevent biofilm formation on medical devices and hospital environmental surfaces. background biofilm formation capacity is recognized as an important virulence factor in staphylococci that makes the organisms more resista...

The occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus in the hair of the scalp was investigated in three groups: out-patients, in-patients, and staff of a general hospital. Bacteria were grown from the hair of all the subjects tested and Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest pathogen isolated. It was found more frequently in the hair than in the nose but 20% of hair carriers of Staph. aureus were not nasal...
