Identified in Fecal and Avian Pathogenic (APEC) From Brazil.

Colisitin-associated resistance in bacteria of food producing animals has gained significant attention with the gene being linked with resistance. Recently, newer variants of have emerged with more than nine variants currently recognized. Reports of associated resistance in of poultry appear to be relatively limited, but its prevalence requires assessment since poultry is one of the most important and cheapest sources of the world's protein and the emergence of resistance could limit our ability to treat disease outbreaks.

Biofilm production and beta-lactamic resistance in Brazilian Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine mastitis.

Staphylococcus spp. play an important role in the etiology of bovine mastitis. Staphylococcus aureus is considered the most relevant species due to the production of virulence factors such as slime, which is required for biofilm formation.

Impairments of mecA gene detection in bovine Staphylococcus spp.

Staphylococcus aureus antimicrobial resistance, especially to beta-lactams, favors treatment failures and its persistence in herd environment. This work aimed to develop a more specific primer for mecA gene detection based on the comparison of the conserved regions from distinct host origins and also investigated the presence of homologue mecA(LGA251) in bovine strains. A total of 43 Staphylococcus spp.
