Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus CC398: Host Adaptation and Emergence of Methicillin Resistance in Livestock
Lance B. Price,Marc Stegger,Henrik Hasman,Maliha Aziz,Jesper Larsen,Paal Skytt Andersen,Talima Pearson,Andrew E. Waters,Jeffrey T. Foster,James M. Schupp,John D. Gillece,Elizabeth M. Driebe,Cindy M. Liu,Cindy M. Liu,Burkhard Springer,Irena Zdovc,Antonio Battisti,Alessia Franco,Jacek Żmudzki,Stefan Schwarz,Patrick Butaye,Eric Jouy,Constança Pomba,M. Concepción Porrero,Raymond Ruimy,Tara C. Smith,D. Ashley Robinson,J. Scott Weese,Carmen Sofia Arriola,Fangyou Yu,Frédéric Laurent,Paul Keim,Paul Keim,Robert Skov,Frank Møller Aarestrup +34 more
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that livestock-associated MRSA CC398 originated in humans as MSSA, which appears to have undergone a rapid radiation in conjunction with the jump from humans to livestock, where it subsequently acquired tetracycline and methicillin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in US Meat and Poultry
Andrew E. Waters,Tania Contente-Cuomo,Jordan L. Buchhagen,Cindy M. Liu,Cindy M. Liu,Lindsey M. Watson,Kimberly Pearce,Jeffrey T. Foster,Jolene Bowers,Elizabeth M. Driebe,David M. Engelthaler,Paul Keim,Paul Keim,Lance B. Price +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Staphylococcus aureus genotypes and resistance profiles differed significantly among sample types, suggesting food animal–specific contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Circumcision on the Penis Microbiome
Lance B. Price,Cindy M. Liu,Cindy M. Liu,Kristine E. Johnson,Maliha Aziz,Matthew K. Lau,Jolene Bowers,Jacques Ravel,Paul Keim,Paul Keim,David Serwadda,Maria J. Wawer,Ronald H. Gray +12 more
TL;DR: The reduction in putative anaerobic bacteria after circumcision may play a role in protection from HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and the anoxic microenvironment of the subpreputial space may support pro-inflammatory anaerobes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community analysis of chronic wound bacteria using 16S rRNA gene-based pyrosequencing: Impact of diabetes and antibiotics on chronic wound microbiota
Lance B. Price,Cindy M. Liu,Cindy M. Liu,Johan H. Melendez,Yelena M. Frankel,David M. Engelthaler,Maliha Aziz,Jolene Bowers,Rogan Rattray,Jacques Ravel,Chris Kingsley,Paul Keim,Paul Keim,Gerald S. Lazarus,Jonathan M. Zenilman +14 more
TL;DR: The 16S rRNA gene-based analyses revealed complex bacterial communities including anaerobic bacteria that may play causative roles in the non-healing state of some chronic wounds and suggest that antimicrobial therapy alters community structure—reducing some bacteria while selecting for others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Microbial Ecology through Stable Isotope Probing
Bruce A. Hungate,Rebecca L. Mau,Egbert Schwartz,J. Gregory Caporaso,Paul Dijkstra,Natasja van Gestel,Benjamin J. Koch,Cindy M. Liu,Theresa A. McHugh,Jane C. Marks,Ember M. Morrissey,Lance B. Price +11 more
TL;DR: qSIP is demonstrated using soil incubations, in which soil bacteria exhibited strong taxonomic variations in 18O and 13C composition after exposure to [18O]water or [13C]glucose, demonstrating the benefit of a quantitative approach to stable isotope probing.
