Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Planktonic and Biofilm Cells of Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

TL;DR: Linezolid was the most effective drug in inhibiting staphylococci in the biofilm, without an increase in the MIC, when compared to planktonic cells, and none of the isolates were resistant to this drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of resistance and virulence factors in different species of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from milk of healthy sheep and animals with subclinical mastitis

TL;DR: The virulence and resistance factors to antimicrobial agents in different CNS species isolated from sheep milk and survey of toxin genes has shown that 70 (62.5%) samples showed some toxin-encoding gene, however, none of the samples has expressed any of the genes from those toxins studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of the mecA gene and identification of Staphylococcus directly from blood culture bottles by multiplex polymerase chain reaction

TL;DR: The multiplex PCR assay developed here was found to be sensitive, specific, rapid, and showed good agreement with the phenotypic results besides being less expensive, which may reduce misuse of antimicrobial classes that are more expensive and toxic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of phenotypic tests with the presence of the blaZ gene for detection of beta-lactamase.

TL;DR: The present results demonstrated that the zone edge test was the most sensitive phenotypic test for detection of beta-lactamase, although it is still not an ideal test to detect this type of resistance since its specificity was low.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro Effects of Antimicrobial Agents on Planktonic and Biofilm Forms of Staphylococcus saprophyticus Isolated From Patients With Urinary Tract Infections.

TL;DR: Staphylococcus saprophyticus biofilms exhibited a considerable increase in MICB when compared to the planktonic forms, with an increase of more than 32 times in the MICB of some drugs.
