Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a phenomenon based on urease activity of halotolerant and alkaliphilic microorganisms that can be used for the soil bioclogging and biocementation in geotechnical engineering. However, enrichment cultures produced from indigenous soil bacteria cannot be used for large-scale MICP because their urease activity decreased with the rate a...

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...

In this study, the biodiversity of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CNS) strains isolated in France from cheese related samples (227 isolates) and dry sausage related samples (204 isolates) was compared to the biodiversity of 297 clinical isolates. Species identification was performed using different molecular methods (specific PCR, "Staph array" hybridization and sodA gene sequencing). Infras...

The presence of Staphylococcus spp. has increasingly been reported in food products and poses a public health threat. aim this study was to determine the diversity antibiotic resistance profiles isolates obtained from freshly harvested packed ready-to-eat mushrooms (n=432) handlers’ hands (n=150). A total 56 [46.4% (n=26) 53.6% (n=30) mushrooms] were recovered belonging 10 species. succinus (n=...

background coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) are opportunistic pathogens. methicillin resistance is common in cons and may play an important role as reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (sccmec) for staphylococcus aureus. objectives the aim of this study was to determine molecular characteristics of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci am...

background protein a is the virulence factors of staphylococcus aureus rolling in its pathogenesis, and its gene is used for typing. polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) with different enzymes has been used for this action. objectives in this study, we used bsp143i enzyme for digestion of the gene, coding protein a (spa gene) in s. aureus. the bacteria w...
