| the ecological importance of the staphylococcus sciuri species group as a reservoir for resistance and virulence genes. | the staphylococcus sciuri species group includes five species that are most often presented as commensal animal-associated bacteria. the species of this group are staphylococcus sciuri (with three subspecies), staphylococcus lentus, staphylococcus vitulinus, staphylococcus fleurettii and staphylococcus stepanovicii. members of these group are commonly found in a broad range of habitats including animals, humans and the environment. however, those species have been isolated also from infections, ... | 2014 | 24629775 |
| characterization of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus spp. carrying the mecc gene, isolated from wildlife. | a recently identified meca homologue, mecc, in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) has been isolated from humans and different animal hosts. the aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial resistance and provide molecular characterization of mrsa and methicillin-resistant non-staphylococcus aureus staphylococci (mrnsa) isolated from wildlife that carried the gene mecc. | 2013 | 23674764 |
| a look into the melting pot: the mecc-harboring region is a recombination hot spot in staphylococcus stepanovicii. | horizontal gene transfer (hgt) is an important driver for resistance- and virulence factor accumulation in pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus. | 2016 | 26799070 |
| staphylococcus stepanovicii sp. nov., a novel novobiocin-resistant oxidase-positive staphylococcal species isolated from wild small mammals. | five novobiocin-resistant and oxidase-positive staphylococcal strains were isolated from wild small mammals. phenotypic studies and phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna, rpob and dnaj gene sequences revealed that these strains were members of the staphylococcus sciuri cluster group and were similar to staphylococcus fleurettii. dna-dna hybridisation with closely related staphylococcal species suggested that the strains represented a novel species. the name staphylococcus stepanovicii is propo ... | 2010 | 20418037 |
