Molecular Characterization of Isolated from Human and Food Samples in Northern Algeria.

is a commensal resident of the skin and nasal cavities of humans and can cause various infections. Some toxigenic strains can contaminate food matrices and cause foodborne intoxications. The present study aimed to provide relevant information (clonal complex lineages, types, virulence and antimicrobial resistance-associated genes) based on DNA microarray analyses as well as the origins and dissemination of several circulating clones of 60 isolated from food matrices ( = 24), clinical samples ( = 20), and nasal carriers ( = 16) in northern Algeria.

Phenotypic and Molecular Detection of Biofilm Formation in Isolated from Different Sources in Algeria.

is an opportunistic bacterium causing a wide variety of diseases. Biofilm formation of is of primary public and animal health concern. The purposes of the present study were to investigate the ability of isolated from animals, humans, and food samples to form biofilms and to screen for the presence of biofilm-associated and regulatory genes.

Short communication: Diversity of staphylococci isolated from sheep mastitis in northern Algeria.

Mastitis in ruminants is an important disease with major effects on both the economy and animal welfare. It is caused by major pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and minor pathogens such as coagulase-negative staphylococci. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize staphylococci as a cause of sheep mastitis in Algeria.

Emerging of antimicrobial resistance in staphylococci isolated from clinical and food samples in Algeria.

Objective: The antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci rose worldwide. In total, 96 Staphylococcus isolates from food and clinical samples were collected from two provinces in Algeria. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed and resistance-associated genes were detected.
