Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotypic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus isolates (n=170) from bovine milk collected from seven dairy farms in Italy. On the basis of cultural and biochemical properties and by amplification of the 23S rRNA specific to S. aureus, all isolates were identified as S. aureus. To genotypically characterize S. aureus isolates, genes encoding virulence determinants (nuc, clfA, spa-IgG-binding, spa-X-region, fnbA and fnbB, cap5 and cap8) and staphylococcal enterotoxins (sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, seh, sei, sej) were investigated using a PCR technique. The results showed that the isolates of S. aureus in each farm had the same genotypic characteristics, while the isolates genotipically differed between the different farms. The present study might help to understand the distribution of prevalent S. aureus strains in dairy farms.

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.
