Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria obtained from animals.
Stefan Schwarz,Peter Silley,Shabbir Simjee,Neil Woodford,Engeline van Duijkeren,Alan P. Johnson,Wim Gaastra +6 more
TL;DR: This editorial is intended to highlight the major pitfalls and provide guidance for authors, and reviewers on the correct performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing as well as the presentation of the obtained results and the proper comparison of data from different studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence and dissemination of the multiresistance gene cfr in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge on the genetic environment of the multiresistance gene cfr with particular reference to mobile genetic elements and co-located resistance genes that may support its emergence.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of antimicrobial resistance pheno- and genotypes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 from diseased swine
Kristina Kadlec,Ralf Ehricht,Stefan Monecke,Ulrike Steinacker,Heike Kaspar,Joachim Mankertz,Stefan Schwarz +6 more
TL;DR: MRSA ST398 isolates varied slightly in their virulence properties and spa types but differed distinctly in their antimicrobial resistance pheno- and genotypes as well as their ApaI-PFGE patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-Resistant and -Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Strains of Clonal Lineages ST398 and ST9 from Swine Carry the Multidrug Resistance Gene cfr
TL;DR: A multidrug resistance gene cfr was detected in isolates of both clonal lineages, rendering a spread to humans with exposure to swine farming possible.
