Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of Australian MRSA Strains ST75- and ST883-MRSA-IV and Analysis of Their Accessory Gene Regulator Locus
Stefan Monecke,Hanna Kanig,Wolfram W. Rudolph,Elke Müller,Geoffrey W. Coombs,Helmut Hotzel,Peter Slickers,Ralf Ehricht +7 more
TL;DR: The genetic properties of ST75/ST883-MRSA strains may be due to a series of evolutionary events in ancient insulated S. aureus strains including a convergent evolution leading to agr group I- or IV-like AIP sequences and a recent acquisition of SCCmec IV elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Associated with Nasal Colonization and Environmental Contamination in Academic Dental Clinics.
Abiola Senok,Rania Nassar,Rania Nassar,Eleftherios G. Kaklamanos,Khawla Belhoul,Salem Abu Fanas,Mohannad Nassar,Aida J. Azar,Elke Müller,Annett Reissig,Darius Gawlik,Stefan Monecke,Stefan Monecke,Ralf Ehricht,Ralf Ehricht +14 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the first report of rare strains of Staphylococcus aureus with recombinase genes and ACME loci alongside mecA-positive CoNS in the region and are of clinical significance as this could provide a milieu for acquisition and transfer of SCC-elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Epidemiology of Methicillin-Susceptible and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Wild, Captive and Laboratory Rats: Effect of Habitat on the Nasal S. aureus Population.
Dina Raafat,Dina Raafat,Daniel M. Mrochen,Fawaz Al’Sholui,Elisa Heuser,René Ryll,Kathleen R. Pritchett-Corning,Jens Jacob,Bernd Walther,Franz-Rainer Matuschka,Dania Richter,Uta Westerhüs,Jiri Pikula,Jens van den Brandt,Werner Nicklas,Stefan Monecke,Stefan Monecke,Birgit Strommenger,Sarah van Alen,Karsten Becker,Karsten Becker,Rainer G. Ulrich,Silva Holtfreter +22 more
TL;DR: A natural S. aureus population in wild rats is revealed, as well as a colonization pressure on wild and laboratory rats by exposure to livestock- and human-associated S.Aureus, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
ε2-Phages Are Naturally Bred and Have a Vastly Improved Host Range in Staphylococcus aureus over Wild Type Phages.
David Sáez Moreno,Zehra Visram,Michele Mutti,Marcela Restrepo-Córdoba,Susana Hartmann,Ana Isabel Kremers,Lenka Tisakova,Susanne Schertler,Johannes Wittmann,Benham Kalali,Stefan Monecke,Stefan Monecke,Ralf Ehricht,Ralf Ehricht,Grégory Resch,Lorenzo Corsini +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested the lytic activity of several wild type phages against a panel of 110 S. aureus strains (MRSA/MSSA) composed of clonal complexes in human infections and measured the kinetic host range (KHR), i.e., the percentage of strains for which growth in suspension was suppressed for 24 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterisation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius from dogs and the description of their SCCmec elements
Martina Krapf,Elke Müller,Annett Reissig,Peter Slickers,Sascha D. Braun,Elisabeth Müller,Ralf Ehricht,Stefan Monecke +7 more
TL;DR: The high degree of uniformity of hybridisation patterns of tested strains suggest that the majority of MRSP infections was caused by one single strain and comparison to previously published reports and sequences suggest that this was the ST71-SCCmec III strain that also predominates elsewhere in Western Europe.
