| widespread distribution of disinfectant resistance genes among staphylococci of bovine and caprine origin in norway. | we demonstrate here a widespread distribution of genes mediating efflux-based resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds (qacs) in staphylococci from unpasteurized milk from 127 dairy cattle herds and 70 dairy goat herds. qac resistance genes were identified in 21% of the cattle herds (qaca/b, smr, qacg, and qacj) and in 10% of the goat herds (qaca/b and smr). further examination of 42 qac-resistant bovine and caprine isolates revealed the following genes: qaca/b (12 isolates) was present in fo ... | 2005 | 16145078 |
| staphylococcus nepalensis sp. nov., isolated from goats of the himalayan region. | four coagulase-negative, novobiocin-resistant cocci, designated cw1(t), pm34, mm3 and rw78, were isolated from the respiratory tract of goats kept in the himalayan region. the four isolates were assigned to a single species on the basis of almost identical biochemical and physiological traits, protein profiles obtained after sds-page and identical genomic fingerprints generated after enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (eric)-pcr. strain cw1(t) showed highest 16s rdna sequence simila ... | 2003 | 14657137 |
