Journal ArticleDOI
A field guide to pandemic, epidemic and sporadic clones of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Stefan Monecke,Geoffrey W. Coombs,Anna C. Shore,David C. Coleman,Patrick Eberechi Akpaka,Michael Borg,Henry Chow,Margaret Ip,Lutz Jatzwauk,Daniel Jonas,Kristina Kadlec,Angela M. Kearns,Frédéric Laurent,Frances G. O'Brien,Julie C. Pearson,Antje Ruppelt,Stefan Schwarz,E. Scicluna,Peter Slickers,Hui-Leen Tan,Stefan Weber,Ralf Ehricht +21 more
TL;DR: A high level of biodiversity among MRSA, especially among strains harbouring SCCmec IV and V elements is shown, and the data indicate a high rate of genetic recombination in MRSA involving SCC elements, bacteriophages or other mobile genetic elements and large-scale chromosomal replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Type XI Carrying Highly Divergent mecA, mecI, mecR1, blaZ, and ccr Genes in Human Clinical Isolates of Clonal Complex 130 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Anna C. Shore,E.C. Deasy,Peter Slickers,Gráinne I. Brennan,Brian O'Connell,Stefan Monecke,Ralf Ehricht,David C. Coleman +7 more
TL;DR: Two clonal complex 130 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from patients in Irish hospitals were identified that were phenotypically PBP 2a positive but lacked mecA by conventional PCR and by DNA microarray screening, suggesting they may have originated in another taxon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assignment of Staphylococcus aureus isolates to clonal complexes based on microarray analysis and pattern recognition
TL;DR: A DNA microarray designed for the rapid genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus used to assess virulence and drug resistance, but also to assign isolates to strains and to clonal complexes and a good correlation of overall hybridization pattern and multilocus sequence typing was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 from cases of bovine mastitis
TL;DR: A uniform virulence gene pattern appeared to be conserved between ST398 isolates from both animal species and when ApaI PFGE profiles and other genotypic and phenotypic characteristics were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Food and Food Products of Poultry Origin in Germany
Andrea T. Fessler,Kristina Kadlec,M. Hassel,Tomasz Hauschild,Christopher Eidam,Ralf Ehricht,Stefan Monecke,Stefan Schwarz +7 more
TL;DR: The presence of multiresistant and, in part, enterotoxigenic MRSA emphasizes the need for further studies to elucidate possible health hazards for consumers.
