Our purpose was to determine the dynamics of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) carriage and its determinants in persons working at pig …

Bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is constantly evolving and horizontal gene transfer
through plasmids plays a major role. The identification of plasmid characteristics and their …

Campylobacter is a major cause of acute bacterial diarrhea in humans worldwide. This study
was aimed at summarizing the current understanding of host mechanisms involved in the …

Since 2004 MRSA emerged in animals, particularly in pigs and veal calves. This new MRSA
variant was since its first appearance referred to as Livestock Associated-MRSA (LA-MRSA)…

Acute enteric infections caused by salmonellas remain a major public health burden
worldwide. Poultry, particularly chickens, are known to be the main reservoir for this zoonotic …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the phenotypic and genotypic resistance
profiles of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) and to examine the …

We isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from cows with subclinical
mastitis and from a person who worked with these animals. The bovine and human strains …

The effect of phage therapy in the control of Campylobacter jejuni colonization in young
broilers, either as a preventive or a therapeutic measure, was tested. A prevention group was …

Introduction Recently a specific MRSA sequence type, ST398, emerged in food production
animals and farmers. Risk factors for carrying MRSA ST398 in both animals and humans …

A total of 814 isolates of the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni were characterized
by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and analysis of the variation of two cell-surface …
