Resistance of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from sheep to various antimicrobial agents

Research in Veterinary Science

Abstract

Staphylococcal resistance to a variety of antimicrobial agents, defined as inhibition of bacteria growth in the presence of an antimicrobial agent, was approximately 75 per cent among coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from milk and the teat skin of sheep. Resistance to broad spectrum antibiotics such as chloramphenicol and tetracycline as well as resistance to the combination of trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole commonly used for the treatment of animals, was high in both groups of isolates. Four isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and three Staph xylosus isolated from the milk of dairy ewes were resistant to methicillin. Methicillin resistance is prevalent among human staphylococcal isolates and resistance to this antibiotic may reflect human handling of sheep.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

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.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
