Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The opinion reviews current methods for the detection, identification, characterisation and tracing of HEV in food‐producing animals and foods, reviews literature on HEV reservoirs and food‐borne pathways, examines information on the epidemiology ofHEV and its occurrence and persistence in foods, and investigates possible control measures along the food chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of canine methicillin resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in a veterinary diagnostic laboratory in Italy.
M. De Lucia,Arshnee Moodley,Francesca Latronico,A. Giordano,Marco Caldin,Alessandra Fondati,Luca Guardabassi +6 more
TL;DR: All methicillin-resistant strains exhibited additional resistance to fluoroquinolones, gentamicin, lincosamides, tetracyclines, and potentiated sulfonamides and belonged predominantly to spa type t02 and harboured SCCmec type II-III cassette.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental colonization of pigs with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): insights into the colonization and transmission of livestock-associated MRSA.
TL;DR: The vaginal inoculation model described in this study represents a useful tool for studying MRSA–host interactions in pigs having the same genetic background and provides evidence that livestock-associated MRSA can efficiently spread by vertical perinatal transmission and that direct colonization of weaned piglets is hampered by unknown host, bacterial or environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symptomatic and asymptomatic apical periodontitis associated with red complex bacteria: clinical and microbiological evaluation
Alessio Buonavoglia,Francesca Latronico,Chiara Pirani,Maria Fiorella Greco,Marialaura Corrente,Carlo Prati +5 more
TL;DR: Generally, RC bacteria were associated with pain and a higher frequency of intracanalar/intrasulcular pus drainage and should be suspected in the presence of particularly severe clinical pain and pus drainage.
Journal Article
Detection of Brucella canis in a dog in Italy.
Marialaura Corrente,Delia Franchini,Nicola Decaro,Grazia Greco,Maria D’Abramo,Maria Fiorella Greco,Francesca Latronico,Antonio Crovace,Vito Martella +8 more
TL;DR: Tissue samples from a dog with chronic prostatitis, discospondylitis and locomotor problems were subjected to clinical and laboratory examinations, providing additional strong evidence for the circulation of B. canis in Italy.
