Diversity of antimicrobial resistance pheno- and genotypes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 from diseased swine

Objectives: Fifty-four methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ST398 isolates from unrelated diseased swine collected all over Germany were comparatively investigated for their antimicrobial...

Characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 from cases of bovine mastitis

Objectives: Twenty-five MRSA ST398 isolates from cases of bovine clinical mastitis and two isolates from farm personnel collected from 17 dairy farms in Germany were investigated for genetic relatedness,...

The diversity of antimicrobial resistance genes among staphylococci of animal origin

Staphylococci of animal origin harbor a wide variety of resistance genes. So far, more than 40 different resistance genes have been identified in staphylococci from animals. This includes genes that confer...

Diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC22-MRSA-IV from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region

Objectives: CC22-MRSA-IV, UK-EMRSA-15/Barnim EMRSA, is a common and pandemic strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that has been found mainly in Western Europe, but also in other...

Rapid genotyping of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 strains by a novel DNA microarray-based assay during the outbreak investigation in Warstein, Germany 2013

Between 1 August and 6 September 2013, an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease (LD) with 78 casesconfirmed by positive urinary antigen tests occurred in Warstein, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Legionella...

ESBL- and AmpC-producing Escherichia coli from legally and illegally imported meat: Characterization of isolates brought into the EU from third countries

Multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) constitute a serious healthcare concern. Contaminated meat and meat products have been suggested as a major transmission...

Development of a miniaturised microarray-based assay for the rapid identification of antimicrobial resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria

We describe the development of a miniaturised microarray for the detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. Included on the array are genes encoding resistance to aminoglycosides,...

Epidemiology of transmissible diseases: Array hybridization and next generation sequencing as universal nucleic acid-mediated typing tools

The magnitude of interest in the epidemiology of transmissible human diseases is reflected in the vast number of tools and methods developed recently with the expressed purpose to characterize and track...

Investigating a rare methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain: first description of genome sequencing and molecular characterization of CC15-MRSA

Purpose: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC15 strains (CC15-MRSA) have only been sporadically described in literature. This study was carried out to describe the genetic make-up for this rare...

Rethinking the Molecular Diagnostics for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
