Sequence typing of Bartonella henselae in small Indian mongooses (Urva auropunctata).

This study aimed to determine the sequence type (ST) of Bartonella henselae infecting small Indian mongooses from Saint Kitts via multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). This investigation used stored EDTA blood (n = 22) samples from mongooses previously identified as positive for B. henselae.

Identification and Antimicrobial Resistance of from Cattle in Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Dermatophilosis is a form of dermatitis caused by the bacterium . The disease usually presents as localized purulent dermatitis, crusty hair masses or widespread matting of the hair. This condition is most common in domestic ruminants; but it can also affect other wild animals and humans.

Comprehensive Molecular Dissection of Genome and First Observation of (Z) Tetracycline Resistance.

is a bacterial pathogen mostly of ruminant livestock in the tropics/subtropics and certain temperate climate areas. It causes dermatophilosis, a skin disease that threatens food security by lowering animal productivity and compromising animal health and welfare. Since it is a prevalent infection in ruminants, dermatophilosis warrants more research.

Identification of Infection in a Nonhuman Primate from St. Kitts More than 50 Years after Interruption of Human Transmission.

Transmission of was interrupted on St. Kitts, a Caribbean island, in the 1950s. With no reported cases since that time and most spp.
