The use of antibiotics in animal production has been associated with the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant organisms including commensals. Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) species, which were until recently considered non-pathogenic, have been associated with opportunistic infections and high resistance to several antibiotics. This study sought to determine the prevalence, ...

Non-aureus staphylococci and the closely related mammaliicoccal species (NASM) are most common causes of bovine subclinical mastitis on modern dairy farms highly prevalent in bulk-tank milk. The purpose this study was to determine distribution NASM both composite cow milk (CCM) (BTM) samples collected tandem commercial Flemish herds estimate origin different (subgroups of) present BTM by applyi...

Clinical inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) results in stereotypic papulopustular eruptions, bacterial superinfection skin with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and diarrhea. These stigmatizing side effects severely deteriorate patients’ wellbeing therapy adherence. Hence, identification characterization EGFR dependent anti-microbial defense mechanisms is utter importanc...

The interactions that occur during the ripening of smear cheeses are not well understood. Yeast-yeast interactions and yeast-bacterium interactions were investigated within a microbial community composed of three yeasts and six bacteria found in cheese. The growth dynamics of this community was precisely described during the ripening of a model cheese, and the Lotka-Volterra model was used to e...

BACKGROUND In captive breed turtles and tortoises conjunctival disease is common. Our aim was to investigate the bacterial and fungal flora present in the eyes of healthy and pathological chelonians and to compare findings in turtles with those in tortoises. RESULTS Samples were taken from the conjunctival sacs of 34, diseased and healthy, chelonians (18 tortoises and 16 turtles) and submitte...

In this work, the influence of native starter cultures on the microbiological, physicochemical and sensorial characteristics of Milano salami type was studied. Two batches of Milano salami type were produced: Batch A, with the addition of Staphylococcus xylosus U5 and Batch B (control) without the starter culture. The Milano salami type was characterized by an important microbial activity of co...

Ventricina del Vastese is a traditional dry fermented sausage from Central Italy not yet characterized for the occurrence, identity and safety of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), bacterial group technologically important this kind product. Therefore, in study, 98 CNS isolates four manufacturers were differentiated using repetitive element palindromic PCR (Rep-PCR) identified 16S rRNA gen...

ABSTRACT: Pigeons are known for their capacity to harbor and spread several zoonotic agents. Studies have suggested that pigeons also relevant disseminators of multidrug-resistant strains. In this study, surrounding a veterinary hospital were sampled tested the presence pathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile. E. coli isolates from 19 ...
