Journal ArticleDOI

Detection, molecular characterization, and clonal diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC398 and CC97 in Spanish slaughter pigs of different age groups.

Elena Gómez-Sanz, +6 more
- 12 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: This study showed that slaughter pigs are frequently colonized by MRSA CC398; moreover, the detection of strains belonging to CC97 underlines that other lineages are also able to spread in livestock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in food samples of animal origin in Spain

Carmen Lozano, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this study two MRSA strains were ST398, suggesting that animals could be the source of contamination in raw food, and a correlation between meat type and rate of MRSA contamination cannot be established as the numbers of samples of different origins in this study differ significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage, virulence traits, antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and genetic lineages in healthy humans in Spain, with detection of CC398 and CC97 strains.

Carmen Lozano, +5 more
- 01 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: S. aureus nasal carriage was investigated in 278 healthy humans, determining the antibiotic resistance mechanisms, virulence traits, and genetic lineages of recovered isolates, identifying 5 new spa-types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic environment and location of the lnu(A) and lnu(B) genes in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other staphylococci of animal and human origin

Carmen Lozano, +8 more
- 01 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The resistance phenotype L(R)/M(S) seems to be related to S. aureus animal-associated clonal lineages (ST398 and ST9) and this is the first detection of the lnu(B) gene in MRSA ST398.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius can be misdiagnosed as Staphylococcus aureus in humans with dog bite wounds

Stefan Börjesson, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Whether S. pseudintermedius is misdiagnosed as S. aureus by clinical laboratories when isolated from humans with dog bite wounds is investigated and it is shown that it can act as an opportunistic pathogen in humans.
