Abstract

An atypical Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) strain, isolated in a dairy herd over an 8 month period, was examined. The S. aureus strain was clumping factor negative, weakly heat-resistant deoxyribonuclease positive and produced narrow zones of double haemolysis. In total, 57 quarter infections were observed. Prevalence data per month, calculated as the percentage of quarters infected with this atypical S. aureus strain varied from 7.5% to 17.7% and the new infection rate varied from 0.14 to 0.55. In routine bacteriology, the large number of quarters infected with the atypical S. aureus could easily be misclassified as quarters infected with non-aureus staphylococci.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
