Molecular types and antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine mastitis in a single herd in China.

TLDR
The molecular diversity, antibiotic resistance patterns and presence of resistance genes were determined in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cases of bovine mastitis in a dairy cattle herd in China.
Abstract
The molecular diversity, antibiotic resistance patterns and presence of resistance genes were determined in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cases of bovine mastitis in a dairy cattle herd in China. Multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis was used for molecular typing. Resistance was determined through minimum inhibitory concentrations and resistance genes were detected by PCR. There was low molecular diversity; one predominant strain (type I) accounted for the majority of cases of S. aureus mastitis in the herd and this strain had a high frequency of resistance to penicillin and tetracycline. The most prevalent resistance genes were blaZ, ermC and tetM.

Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from raw milk and dairy products

TL;DR: Consumption of raw milk and dairy products are revealed as a potential risk of foodborne infection in this region and a high frequency of blaZ and tetM resistance genes was found in S. aureus isolates.

Bovine mastitis Staphylococcus aureus: antibiotic susceptibility profile, resistance genes and molecular typing of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive strains in China.

TL;DR: The results revealed that the resistance of S. aureus is becoming more complicated by changes in multi-drug resistance mechanism and appearance of mecA-negative MRSA isolates, and importantly, MRSA-IV strains in different MLST types are emerging.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from ready-to-eat food of animal origin--phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance

TL;DR: Although coagulase-negative staphylococci are not classical food poisoning bacteria, its presence in food could be of public health significance due to the possible spread of antibiotic resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance profiles of 5 common bovine mastitis pathogens in large Chinese dairy herds.

TL;DR: Prevalence of AMR in mastitis pathogens was high on large Chinese dairy farms, potentially jeopardizing both antimicrobial efficacy and public health, and highlighted the need for improvements in antimicrobial stewardship and infection control programs in largeChinese dairy farms to reduce emergence of AMr.

Enterotoxigenicity and Antimicrobial Resistance of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Retail Food in China.

TL;DR: It is important to monitor the antimicrobial susceptibility and enterotoxigenicity of MDR S. aureus and MRSA in the food chain and to use these data to develop food safety measures, designed to reduce the contamination and transmission of this bacterium.

New method for typing Staphylococcus aureus strains: multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis of polymorphism and genetic relationships of clinical isolates.

TL;DR: The PCR-based methodology applied to multiple-locus variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis was recently shown to be a useful technique for the molecular typing of clinical isolates of several bacterial species and it was shown that the method allows typing of S. aureus strains with the discriminatory power and reproducibility of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

Multiplex PCR assays for the detection of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes in staphylococci isolated from patients infected after cardiac surgery

TL;DR: This study suggests that the incidence and distribution of the tested clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes in staphylococci associated with infections after cardiac surgery do not differ from those in strains from other infections.

Regulation of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: The driving force behind resistance formation is antibiotic stress, and under clinical conditions selection for resistance is continuously competing with selection for bacterial fitness.

Molecular Typing and Distribution of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in Eastern Canadian Dairy Herds

TL;DR: Macrorestriction analysis of SmaI-digested chromosomal DNA, using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed to type and estimate genetic relationships among 288 Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from 58 Eastern Canadian dairy herds as mentioned in this paper.
