Biofilm formation, agr typing and antibiotic resistance pattern in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from hospital environments.

Biofilm development significantly enhances the virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), leading to severe infections and decreased susceptibility to antibiotics, especially in strains associated with hospital environments. This study examined the occurrence of MRSA, their ability to form biofilms, agr typing, and the antibiotic resistance profiles of biofilm-forming MRSA strains isolated from environmental surfaces at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH). From 120 swab samples, 86 (71.

Draft genome sequence of multidrug-resistant MAHK_SCM_BAU_30A strain isolated from a subclinical mastitis cow in Bangladesh.

This study announces the sequence of a multidrug-resistant MAHK_SCM_BAU_30A strain isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis milk in 2022 in Bangladesh. Our assembled genome had a length of 4,884,948 bp, three plasmids, two CRISPR arrays, five prophages, 51 predicted antibiotic resistance, and 72 predicted virulence factor genes.
