Bacteriocins are bacterial antimicrobial peptides with bactericidal activity against other
bacteria. Staphylococcins are bacteriocins produced by staphylococci, which are Gram …

Major challenges in diagnostic molecular microbiology are to develop a simple assay to
distinguish Staphylococcus aureus from the less virulent but clinically important coagulase …

Abstract Background Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) are important reservoirs of
antibiotic resistance genes and associated mobile genetic elements and are believed to …

The population analysis profile (PAP) method as well as analysis of autolytic activity and
cellular ultrastructure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterise …

Methicillin-resistant in Staphylococci is a serious public health issue. It is mostly encoded by
the mecA gene. The mecC gene is a new mecA analog responsible for resistance to …

Aims: To investigate the activity of seven staphylococcins, bacteriocins produced by
staphylococci, against multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase‐negative …

This study evaluated the oxacillin susceptibilities of 152 coagulase-negative staphylococcal
(CoNS) strains of 12 species by disk diffusion; agar dilution; E-test; the slide latex …

Susceptibility to mupirocin was assessed in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
isolates selected from eras corresponding to differences in usage rate and prescription …

Staphylococci can cause a wide array of infections that can be life threatening. These
infections become more deadly when the isolates are antibiotic resistant and thus harder to …

High occurrence of the non-macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance genes msrA
(53%) and linA/linA′(30%) was found among 98 methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative …
