Article Synopsis
- Bovine mastitis, primarily caused by Streptococcus bacteria, significantly impacts dairy production and leads to milk production losses.
- A study in Uruguay analyzed 115 Streptococcus strains from mastitis cases using PCR, revealing discrepancies between phenotypic and genotypic identifications of the bacteria.
- The research highlights the effectiveness of PCR for diagnosis and notes that while penicillin resistance is low, resistance to tetracycline and erythromycin is higher across the studied species.
Last year in 2013, we reported an outbreak due to indigo-pigmented Acinetobacter baumannii strains in a hospital from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of one of the strains (A. baumannii A33405) involved in the outbreak.

- Scientists learned that different DNA codes for the same protein don't follow expected patterns based on studies from the 1970s.
- Most research focused on Bacteria and simple organisms, but this study looks at how these patterns work in Archaea, a unique group of microbes.
- The findings showed that while some Archaea do follow certain rules for coding genes, it's mostly limited to one type of Archaea and not as common as in Bacteria.
Many studies have explored the mechanisms involved in relative amino acid usage (RAAU) in a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A strong bias was observed in highly expressed genes (HEGs) of endosymbiotic bacteria. By means of correspondence analysis, we studied the major trends affecting internal variability of RAAU in Mollicutes.
