Detection of the methicillin-resistant gene encoding in nasal swabs of cats in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Background: The most susceptible group of people to spread methicillin-resistant (MRSA) among domestic cats is their owners' relatives.

Aim: Considering the aforementioned, research at the Surabaya City Animal Hospital is necessary to determine whether the A gene may be detected in cat nasal swabs.

Methods: Samples were taken using a sterile cotton swab, and the transport medium was buffered peptone water.

Spread of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant in poultry and its risks to public health: A comprehensive review.

The livestock-associated methicillin-resistant (LA-MRSA) strains are prevalent in the poultry farming environment and are a common component of the bacterial microbiota on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy animals. The origin and spread of LA-MRSA are attributed to the use of antibiotics in animals, and close contact between people and different animal species increases the risk of animal exposure to humans. The epidemiology of LA-MRSA in poultry significantly changed when ST398 and ST9 were found in food-producing animals.

Brucellosis: Unveiling the complexities of a pervasive zoonotic disease and its global impacts.

One zoonotic infectious animal disease is brucellosis. The bacteria that cause brucellosis belong to the genus . Numerous animal and human species are affected by brucellosis, with an estimated 500,000 human cases recorded annually worldwide.

Kinship analysis of gene of methicillin-resistant isolated from milk and risk factors from the farmers in Blitar, Indonesia.

Background And Aim: There are numerous reports of subclinical mastitis cases in Blitar, which is consistent with the region's high milk production and dairy cattle population. , which is often the cause of mastitis cases, is widely known because of its multidrug-resistant properties and resistance to β-lactam antibiotic class, especially the methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains. This study aimed to molecular detection and sequence analysis of the gene in milk and farmer's hand swabs to show that dairy cattle are reservoirs of MRSA strains.
