ABSTRACT A PCR identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),
obviating the need for subculture on agar media, was investigated. The combination of …

In this work, we describe a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of clinically relevant
antibiotic resistance genes harbored by some Staphylococcus aureus isolates and for the …

We surveyed methicillin-resistant coagulase-positive staphylococcus (MRCPS) strains from
57 (26 inpatient and 31 outpatient) dogs and 20 veterinary staff in a veterinary teaching …

Little is known about the amount of cross-transmission, the risk factors for infection, and the
relative effectiveness of infection control procedures when methicillin-resistant …

Objectives: To identify the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec) types of
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from bovine milk, and examine …

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important pathogens
in human and veterinary hospitals. The isolation of MRSA from animals and foodstuffs has …

Abstract Background Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are potential antimicrobials agents,
which can be considered as an alternative to antibiotics for the treatment of infections …

Bacterial species of the genus Staphylococcus known as important human and animal
pathogens are the cause of a number of severe infectious diseases. Apart from the major …

A multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting the mecA and nuc
genes was developed for the detection of methicillin resistance and identification of …

The prevalent Staphylococcus aureus clones and antibiotic susceptibility profiles are known
to change dynamically and geographically; however, recent S. aureus strains causing …
