TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the presence of enterotoxigenic and antimicrobial resistant strains of S. aureus has become remarkably widespread in foods and calls for better control of sources of food contamination and of the spread of antimicrobial-resistance organisms.

TL;DR: An investigation on the presence of Coagulase-Positive Staphylococci and S. aureus in several food products marketed in Italy and on food contact surface swabs sampled from the food industry highlighted that these organisms constitute a potential risk for consumers' health.

TL;DR: All the MRSA strains isolated were enterotoxigenic; two strains synthesized SEA/SED two SED and one SEC showed resistance to at least one of the antibiotics tested but none was resistant to glycopeptides.

TL;DR: The tropical species and the temperate species (=southern lineage) are paraphyletic groups and the occurrence of R. turanicus in the Mediterranean region is confirmed.

TL;DR: The development of efficient and rapid sequencing methods to reconstruct the genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent of COVID-19, has been fundamental for the design of diagnostic molecular tests and to devise effective measures and strategies to mitigate the diffusion of the pandemic.
