Methicillin resistant staphylococci associated with bovine mastitis and their zoonotic importance
Mastitis is the most common infectious disease among dairy cattle and has been singled out as the most significant cause of economical loss in the dairy industry. Control of mastitis is important because milk may harbor organisms potentially pathogenic to humans [1]. Staphylococci are the bacteria most commonly isolated from subclinical mastitis [2]. However, during recent years, coagulase-nega...
متن کاملFoxes as a potential wildlife reservoir for mecA-positive Staphylococci.
Methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in particular, have become a public and veterinary health concern. The search for MRS reservoirs outside human hospitals is needed in order to understand the reasons for their persistence and to control their spread. MRS have been isolated from rats, but little is known about their occurrence in fo...
متن کاملSpeciation and Antibiogram of Clinically Significant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci
Background: Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), once considered as non-pathogenic commensal of skin and mucus membrane have emerged as important pathogen. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine species of CoNS and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of species obtained from various clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolate...
متن کاملPrevalence of coagulase-negative staphylococci in bovine mastitis in Zimbabwe.
This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of coagulase-negative staphylococci in clinical and subclinical mastitis in commercial and small-scale farms in Zimbabwe. Thirty five quarter milk samples from clinical mastitis cases and 371 quarter milk samples from cows with subclinical mastitis were cultured for bacterial pathogens. The most frequent pathogens isolated in clinical masti...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococci-emerging mastitis pathogens.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) have become the most common bovine mastitis isolate in many countries and could therefore be described as emerging mastitis pathogens. The prevalence of CNS mastitis is higher in primiparous cows than in older cows. CNS are not as pathogenic as the other principal mastitis pathogens and infection mostly remains subclinical. However, CNS can cause persisten...
