Characterisation of MRSA from Malta and the description of a Maltese epidemic MRSA strain
Malta has one of the highest prevalence rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Europe. However, only limited typing data are currently available. In order to address this situation,...
PublikationenMolecular fingerprinting of Staphylococcus aureus from bone and joint infections
The objective of the study was to determine if a clonal complex (CC) of Staphylococcus aureus or certain virulence and adhesion factors were associated with infections of bones and prosthetic implants....
PublikationenMolecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus in asymptomatic carriers
Microarrays were used to extensively characterise 155 Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from asymptomatic carriers from Saxony, Germany, in order to determine clonal complex affiliation, as well...
PublikationenCooperative amplification of templates by cross-hybridization (CATCH)
In vitro amplification systems not only serve as a tool for the processing of DNA, but have also provided important model systems for the investigation of fundamental issues in evolutionary optimization....
PublikationenDevelopment of a diagnostic multiplex polymerase chain reaction microarray assay to detect and differentiate Brucella spp.
Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis leading to tremendous economic losses and severe human illness. Fast and reliable laboratory tests are needed to detect disease in both humans and animals and to monitor...
PublikationenUse of miniaturized protein arrays for Escherichia coli O serotyping
Serological typing of Escherichia coli O antigens is a well-established method used for differentiation and identification of O serotypes commonly associated with disease. In this feasibility study, we...
PublikationenST2249-MRSA-III: a second major recombinant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone causing healthcare infection in the 1970s
Typing of healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from Australia in the 1970s revealed a novel clone, ST2249-MRSA-III (CC45), present from 1973 to 1979. This clone was...
PublikationenThe molecular epidemiology and evolution of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 in Western Australia
Between 2003 and 2008, 76 clinical isolates of the Panton–Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus strain ‘West Australian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-12’ (WA MRSA-12)...
PublikationenMicroarray-based characterisation of a Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive community-acquired strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of novel methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains that produce the potent toxin Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL). PVL-positive strains can...
PublikationenHigh diversity of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive, methicillin-susceptible isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and implications for the evolution of community-associated methicillin-resistant S-aureus
In total, 100 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from diverse cases of skin and soft-tissue infection at a university hospital in Saxony, Germany, were characterised using diagnostic microarrays. Virulence...
