| population structure of staphylococcus aureus from trinidad & tobago. | it has been shown previously that high rates of methicillin- and mupirocin-resistant staphylococcus aureus exist in the caribbean islands of trinidad and tobago, as well as a high prevalence of panton-valentine leukocidin-positive s. aureus. beyond these studies, limited typing data have been published. in order to obtain insight into the population structure not only of mrsa but also of methicillin-susceptible s. aureus, 294 clinical isolates collected in 2012/2013 were typed by microarray hybr ... | 2014 | 24586536 |
| staphylococcus aureus 'down under': contemporary epidemiology of s. aureus in australia, new zealand, and the south west pacific. | the clinical and molecular epidemiology of staphylococcus aureus disease has changed considerably over the past two decades, particularly with the emergence and spread of community-associated methicillin-resistant s. aureus (ca-mrsa) clones. indeed, some of the first global descriptions of ca-mrsa were from remote indigenous communities in western australia, and from pacific peoples in new zealand. the epidemiology of s. aureus infections in the south west pacific has several unique features, la ... | 2014 | 24891110 |
| novel staphylococcal species that form part of a staphylococcus aureus-related complex: the non-pigmented staphylococcus argenteus sp. nov. and the non-human primate-associated staphylococcus schweitzeri sp. nov. | we define two novel species of the genus staphylococcus that are phenotypically similar to and have near identical 16s rrna gene sequences to staphylococcus aureus. however, compared to s. aureus and each other, the two species, staphylococcus argenteus sp. nov. (type strain mshr1132(t) = dsm 28299(t) = ssi 89.005(t)) and staphylococcus schweitzeri sp. nov. (type strain fsa084(t) = dsm 28300(t) = ssi 89.004(t)), demonstrate: 1) at a whole-genome level considerable phylogenetic distance, lack of ... | 2015 | 25269845 |
| clinical and molecular epidemiology of staphylococcus argenteus infections in thailand. | molecular typing of 246 staphylococcus aureus isolates from unselected patients in thailand showed that 10 (4.1%) were actually staphylococcus argenteus. contrary to the suggestion that s. argenteus is less virulent than s. aureus, we demonstrated comparable rates of morbidity, death, and health care-associated infection in patients infected with either of these two species. | 2015 | 25568440 |
| community-acquired infections due to staphylococcus argenteus lineage isolates harbouring the panton-valentine leucocidin, france, 2014. | we describe two cases of human infections caused by staphylococcus aureus clonal complex (cc) 75, also called staphylococcus argenteus, harbouring the panton-valentine leucocidin (pvl). these two sporadic cases were community-acquired, and identified in france in 2014. both had an epidemiological link with mayotte, an overseas department of france located in the indian ocean off the south-eastern african coast. this report illustrates that, contrary to previous descriptions, s. argenteus can acq ... | 2015 | 26084314 |
| the role of staphylococcal carotenogenesis in resistance to host defense peptides and in vivo virulence in experimental endocarditis model. | the defining hallmark of the newly described species, staphylococcus argenteus, in comparison to its sister species, s. aureus and s. schweitzeri, is the absence of production of the carotenoid pigment, staphyloxanthin. staphylococcus argenteus lacks the responsible genetic locus crtopqmn. we examined the impact of carotenoid synthesis in two non-pigmented s. argenteus strains, mshr1132 and scc1165. following complementation with a plasmid containing the carotenoid operon (ptx-crtopqmn), compare ... | 2015 | 26242278 |
| comparison of community-onset staphylococcus argenteus and staphylococcus aureus sepsis in thailand: a prospective multicentre observational study. | staphylococcus argenteus is a globally distributed cause of human infection, but diagnostic laboratories misidentify this as staphylococcus aureus. we determined whether there is clinical utility in distinguishing between the two. a prospective cohort study of community-onset invasive staphylococcal sepsis was conducted in adults at four hospitals in northeast thailand between 2010 and 2013. of 311 patients analysed, 58 (19%) were infected with s. argenteus and 253 (81%) with s. aureus. most s. ... | 2016 | 26806258 |
| low occurrence of the new species staphylococcus argenteus in a staphylococcus aureus collection of human isolates from belgium. | staphylococcus argenteus is a novel staphylococcus species closely related to staphylococcus aureus that has been recently described. in this study, we investigated the proportion and the characteristics of s. argenteus recovered from humans in belgium. s. aureus. human isolates collected in belgium from 2006 to 2015 (n = 1,903) were retrospectively characterised via the presence of non-pigmented colonies on chocolate agar, spa typing and rpob sequencing to determine if some of them were in fact ... | 2016 | 27044019 |
| identification of staphylococcus argenteus in eastern china based on a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (nrps) gene. | to investigate whether the staphylococcus argenteus is present in eastern china and to verify the utility of a new screening process. | 2016 | 27561462 |
| differentiation of staphylococcus argenteus (formerly: staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 75) by mass spectrometry from s. aureus using the first strain isolated from a wild african great ape. | the species staphylococcus argenteus was separated recently from staphylococcus aureus (tong s.y., f. schaumburg, m.j. ellington, j. corander, b. pichon, f. leendertz, s.d. bentley, j. parkhill, d.c. holt, g. peters, and p.m. giffard, 2015). the objective of this work was to characterise the genome of a non-human s. argenteus strain, which had been isolated from the faeces of a wild-living western lowland gorilla in gabon, and analyse the spectrum of this species in matrix-assisted laser desorpt ... | 2017 | 27931949 |
| diversity of staphylococcus aureus isolates in european wildlife. | staphylococcus aureus is a well-known colonizer and cause of infection among animals and it has been described from numerous domestic and wild animal species. the aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of s. aureus in a convenience sample of european wildlife and to review what previously has been observed in the subject field. 124 s. aureus isolates were collected from wildlife in germany, austria and sweden; they were characterized by dna microarray hybridizatio ... | 2016 | 27992523 |
| evolution of the staphylococcus argenteus st2250 clone in northeastern thailand is linked with the acquisition of livestock-associated staphylococcal genes. | staphylococcus argenteus is a newly named species previously described as a divergent lineage of staphylococcus aureus that has recently been shown to have a global distribution. despite growing evidence of the clinical importance of this species, knowledge about its population epidemiology and genomic architecture is limited. we used whole-genome sequencing to evaluate and compare s. aureus (n = 251) and s. argenteus (n = 68) isolates from adults with staphylococcal sepsis at several hospitals ... | 2017 | 28679748 |
| prevalence and genetic characteristics of staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus argenteus isolates harboring panton-valentine leukocidin, enterotoxins, and tsst-1 genes from food handlers in myanmar. | asymptomatic carriers of toxigenic staphylococcus aureus are potential source of diseases, including food poisoning. toxigenic potential and genetic traits of colonizing s. aureus were investigated for 563 healthy food handlers in myanmar. carriage of s. aureus was found in 110 individuals (19.5%), and a total of 144 s. aureus isolates were recovered from nasal cavities (110 isolates) and hands (34 isolates). panton-valentine leucocidin genes (pvl) were detected in 18 isolates (12.5%), among whi ... | 2017 | 28777321 |
| whole genome sequencing of danish staphylococcus argenteus reveals a genetically diverse collection with clear separation from staphylococcus aureus. | staphylococcus argenteus (s. argenteus) is a newly identified staphylococcus species that has been misidentified as staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) and is clinically relevant. we identified 25 s. argenteus genomes in our collection of whole genome sequenced s. aureus. these genomes were compared to publicly available genomes and a phylogeny revealed seven clusters corresponding to seven clonal complexes. the genome of s. argenteus was found to be different from the genome of s. aureus and a co ... | 2017 | 28848522 |
| food poisoning outbreak in tokyo, japan caused by staphylococcus argenteus. | staphylococcus argenteus is a novel species subdivided from staphylococcus aureus. whether this species can cause food poisoning outbreaks is unknown. this study aimed to investigate the enterotoxigenic activities of two food poisoning isolates suspected to be s. argenteus (tokyo13064 and tokyo13069). the results for phylogenic trees, constructed via whole genome sequencing, demonstrated that both isolates were more similar to a type strain of s. argenteus (mshr1132) than any s. aureus strain. m ... | 2017 | 28961520 |
| preliminary comparative genomics revealed pathogenic potential and international spread of staphylococcus argenteus. | staphylococcus argenteus and s. schweitzeri, were recently proposed as novel species within s. aureus complex (sac). s. argenteus has been reported in many countries and can threaten human health. s. schweitzeri has not been associated with human infections, but has been isolated from non-human primates. questions regarding the evolution of pathogenicity of these two species will remain elusive until an exploratory evolutionary framework is established. | 2017 | 29058585 |
| staphylococcal food poisoning caused by staphylococcus argenteus harboring staphylococcal enterotoxin genes. | staphylococcal food poisoning (sfp) is caused by staphylococcal enterotoxins (ses) preformed in food materials. se genes are encoded on mobile genetic elements and are widely found across staphylococcus species including s. argenteus, although most sfp cases are caused by s. aureus. s. argenteus, recently discriminated from s. aureus as a novel species, are non-pigmented staphylococci phenotypically related to s. aureus. in 2014 and 2015, two independent food poisoning cases occurred in osaka, j ... | 2018 | 29112896 |
