Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are considered one of the main nosocomial pathogens due to their increasing antibiotic resistance and ability to cause life-threatening infections in humans. This study included VRE isolates obtained from various specimens including urine, blood, faeces, wounds, sputum, and oral cavity wash. Of the 37 strains, 30 (81.

- - The study focused on identifying the staphylococcal composition in the skin microbiota of healthy, untreated sheep and goats, isolating 83 strains using MALDI-TOF MS, predominantly finding coagulase-negative staphylococci.
- - In sheep, a variety of species were identified, with the most common being Staphylococcus capitis, while in goats, Staphylococcus epidermidis was most prevalent; only one goat strain had an enterotoxin gene.
- - Antimicrobial resistance was relatively low overall, with only 31 strains showing resistance to at least one antimicrobial, primarily penicillin, while most isolates were susceptible to various antibiotics, although three exhibited multi-drug resistance.
