Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium from food.
TL;DR: An additional enrichment step in nutrient broth supplemented with vancomycin enhanced the detection rate of VREF by approximately three times compared to the direct plating method when investigating the same 160 samples of broilers by the two methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous nisin-resistant Listeria monocytogenes mutants with increased expression of a putative penicillin-binding protein and their sensitivity to various antibiotics.
TL;DR: Changes in gene expression following nisin resistance development in Listeria monocytogenes 412 are analyzed by restriction fragment differential display and a model incorporating these observations is proposed based on current knowledge of nisin's mode of action.
Journal Article
Prevalence of coagulase gene polymorphism in Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing bovine mastitis.
TL;DR: The ease of analysing coagulase gene polymorphisms among a large number of strains, and the multiple distinct polymorphic patterns generated, supports the use of this technique in epidemiological investigations of bovine mastitis.

TL;DR: This work illustrates how NGS analysis of wastewater can be used to approximate the diversity of SARS-CoV-2 viruses circulating in a community by finding a total of 57 unique mutations in the Sars-CoVs genome which have not been described before.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The objectives of the present study are to generate knowledge of the ecology and epidemiology of enterococci in the food chain by studying the population structure, the association between vancomycin resistance and individual strains ofEnterococci and the diversity of the drug resistance genes in Enterococci.
