As the control of meticillin-resistant Staphylococ-cus aureus (MRSA) remains a major challenge for UK hospitals, community healthcare facilities and the veterinary profession, we wish to report the first isolation of MRSA sequence type 398 from animals in the UK. MRSA strains isolated from dogs...
Objectives: The presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on meat purchased from retail outlets may allow its spread to households and represents a risk for colonization and possibly infection of consumers. Improved isolation methods have indicated that more than 10% of samples are...
In the hospital, people who are infected or colonized with MRSA often are placed in isolation as a measure to prevent the spread of MRSA. Visitors and health care workers caring for people in isolation may need to wear protective garments. They also must follow strict hand hygiene procedures....
Results:In this study,24 strains of MRSA were screened from 297 S. aureus isolates of fresh pork origin,with an isolation rate of 8.08%.The main types of MRSA isolates were ST88-IVa-t1376,ST59-IVa-t437 and ST9-IVb-t3433. Most isolates carried 3~7 antibiotics resistant tested genes....
Isolation of MRSA bacteriophages Bacteriophages were isolated from raw sewage samples according to previously described method [27]. Briefly,10 mL of exponential phase broth culture of MRSA isolate was mixed with 10 mL of (2×) fresh Luria-Bertani (LB) broth media and 10 mL of centrifuged sewag...
Evaluation of a New Chromogenic Medium for Isolation of MRSA It is suggested that CHROMagar MRSA is a useful medium to detect MRSA including mecA positive and oxacillin susceptible strains... H Taguchi,T Kaneko,M Onozaki,... - 《感染症学雑誌 : 日本伝染病学会機関誌 : the journal of the...
One of those protocols includes a set of revised recommendations for the isolation of MRSA from food-producing animals and farm environment, known as 1-step isolation method(Isolation of MRSA, version 3 April 2023). After sampling and enrichment, MRSA bacteria are isolated with growth on a speci...
(MRSA), which is a seriousbacterial infection. Among the best MRSA precautions are hand washing, isolation when necessary, and wearing protective apparel. Sanitizing medical equipment may also help prevent the spread of this potentially deadly infection. Covering the site of anMRSA infectionmay prove...
