Background Staphylococcus aureus ( S. ) is the most common causative agent of burn wound infection, that often leads to high morbidity and mortality. However, there not enough knowledge about molecular epidemiology antimicrobial susceptibility isolates from infections in Fujian, China. Methods Between 2016 2021, 90 were collected China, including 59 methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains 31 methi...

Although patho-physiology of spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection (sICAD) is largely unknown, an association with migraine has been suggested but not proven. Migraine is a condition which is worth considering while one is hunting a possible cause for internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) and it may be found more often than expected. To date it remains a diagnosis of exclusion in p...

Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from poultry between 1970 and 1972 (90 old isolates) and in 2006 (81 recent isolates) were screened for the presence of bap, icaA and icaD genes associated with biofilm formation, and for bbp, cna, ebpS, eno, fib, fnbA, fnbB, clfA and clfB genes that encode microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs). Most of the old iso...

INTRODUCTION Infections involving methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remain a serious threat to hospitalized patients worldwide. MRSA is characterized by recalcitrance to antimicrobial therapy, which is a function not only of widespread antimicrobial resistance, but also the capacity to form biofilms. The present study evaluated the presence of genes encoding adhesion factors an...

Biofilm formation is the leading cause of the pathogenesis of S. aureus associated with biomaterial infections. In S. aureus polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) was encoded by icaA and icaD genes. Production of PIA is currently responsible for staphylococcal biofilm development. In this study, S. aureus strains isolated from auricular infection (n = 46) and S. aureus ATCC 25923 were phen...

It has been proposed that the hemodynamic deterioration associated with heart failure (HF) may be due in part to ongoing loss of viable cardiac myocytes through apoptosis. Hypoxia has been shown to promote apoptosis in normal cardiomyocytes. Adaptation and maladaptations inherent to heart failure can modify the susceptibility of cells to different stress factors. We hypothesized that HF modifie...

Staphylococcus spp. play an important role in the etiology of bovine mastitis. Staphylococcus aureus is considered the most relevant species due to the production of virulence factors such as slime, which is required for biofilm formation. This study aimed to evaluate biofilm production and its possible relation to beta-lactamic resistance in 20 S. aureus isolates from bovine mastitic milk. The...

Antimicrobial resistance are associated with several virulence factors such as biofilm. The biofilm formation ability of S. aureus complicates effective therapeutic management infections. In this research, we intend to observe in using two vitro phenotypic methods: tissue culture plate and Congo red agar well genes Ica A B & D 16SrRNA. total 150 presumptive coagulase positive staphylococcal...

INTRODUCTION Biofilm-associated antimicrobial resistance is of increasing importance to the maintenance and spread of foodborne pathogens in the food industry. This study aimed to investigate the ability to form biofilm and the antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci contaminating small-scale goat milk dairy plants. METHODOLOGY Sixty isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance against...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) for intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) by conducting a meta-analysis. Two independent observers searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for relevant studies up to 31 December 2016. A meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.3. Three studies inv...
