Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: Many of the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying methicillin resistance in S. aureus have been elucidated, including regulatory events and the structure of key proteins, and recent advances are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of mecC methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: A novel mecA homologue, mecC, confers methamphetamineicillin resistance to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and may pose a zoonotic risk to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome sequencing identifies zoonotic transmission of MRSA isolates with the novel mecA homologue mecC.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mecC‐MRSA ST130 isolates are capable of transmission between animals and humans, and underscores the potential of WGS in epidemiological investigations and source tracking of bacterial infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alpha-band rhythms in visual task performance: phase-locking by rhythmic sensory stimulation
Tom A. de Graaf,Joachim Gross,Gavin K. Paterson,Tessa Rusch,Tessa Rusch,Alexander T. Sack,Gregor Thut +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the alpha-frequency (10.6 Hz) was found to have specific behavioral consequences, relative to stimulation at control frequencies (3.9 Hz, 7.1 Hz, 14.2 Hz), leading to alpha-band oscillations in visual performance measures that correlate in precise frequency across individuals with resting alpha-rhythms recorded over parieto-occipital areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biology of Gram-positive sortase enzymes
TL;DR: The importance of sortase enzymes in the virulence of several pathogens is now becoming apparent, as are some of the more detailed workings of the enzyme and anchoring pathway.
