Currently, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a universal threat. After
being well established in the healthcare setting, it has emerged in the community among …

A new methicillin resistance gene, named mecC, was first described in 2011 in both humans
and animals. Since then, this gene has been detected in different production and free-living …

Methicillin-resistant coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) have become increasingly
recognised as opportunistic pathogens that limit therapeutic options in companion animals …

Natural aquatic environments represent one of the most important vehicles of bacterial
dissemination. Therefore, we aimed to isolate staphylococci from surface waters and to …

We investigated the occurrence of mecC-MRSA in wild hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus)
in Sweden and characterized the obtained isolates. Samples from 55 hedgehogs from five …

Simple Summary Staphylococcus aureus is present in the microbiota of both humans and

Dromedary camels are an important source of food and income in many countries. However,
it has been largely overlooked that they can also transmit antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The …

Resistance to meticillin and vancomycin in Staphylococcus aureus significantly complicates
the management of severe infections like bacteraemia, endocarditis or osteomyelitis. Here …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bearing the mecC gene (mecC-MRSA) has
been reported from animals and humans in recent years. This study describes the first mecC …

In 2011 mecC, a new mecA gene homologue, was described in a bovine isolate in the UK.
Since then, mecC-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (mecC-MRSA) has …
