Unlabelled: OBJECTIVES; Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common pathogen of nosocomial infection. The goal of this work was to evaluate the clonality of hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) circulating in Russian Federation and to compare different multiplex PCR techniques with SNP-based approach for MRSA typing.
Methods: Epidemiologically unrelated MRSA isolates (n = 62) from Moscow hospitals were selected for typing. Genomic DNA from clinical isolates was purified using the DNA express kit (Lytech Ltd, Russia). Staphylococcus chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) typing was performed by PCR using the previously described methods. Seven loci from five housekeeping genes (arcC162, arcC210, aroE132, gmk123, tpi241, tpi243 and yqiL333) were used for SNP-typing. Detection of particular nucleotides in selected loci was carried out in the thermocyclic primer extension reaction, followed by mass spectrometry of the products. Standard MLST procedure was performed as reference method.
Results: The majority of the MRSA isolates (93.6%) belong to world-wide disseminated clonal complex (CC) 8. Three isolates (4.8%) belong to CC 1. All ST 239 isolates were found to carry SCCmec type III; ST 8 isolates, SCCmec type IV.
Conclusion: Among Russian MRSA CC 8 isolates carrying SCCmec IV type are predominant. SNP-typing is powerful toll for studies of molecular epidemiology of MRSA.

A novel series of azo dyes was successfully synthesized by combining amino benzoic acid and amino phenol on the same molecular framework azo linkage. The structural elucidation of these dyes was carried out using various spectroscopic techniques, including UV-vis, FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, and HRMS. Surprisingly, the aromatic proton in some dyes exhibited exchangeability in DO, prompting a 2D NMR analysis to confirm this phenomenon.

Introduction: Nanobubble ozone stored in hyaluronic acid-decorated liposomes (patent application PCT/TR2022/050177) was used, and the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was found to be 1562 ppm. (patient isolate), (patient isolate), (MRSA) (ATCC12493), and (ATCC25922) bacteria, which are hospital-acquired and healthcare-associated infections, were used. A time-dependent efficacy study was conducted at 1600 ppm.

Marine-derived actinobacteria isolated from sponge and soft coral were screened for antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria, specifically ATCC 14990, methicillin-resistant ATCC BAA44, and ATCC 6919. Cytotoxicity assays were performed on human dermal fibroblast (HDFa) and keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell lines to assess the safety profile of the extracts. Chemical characterization was conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a formidable public scourge causing worldwide mild to severe life-threatening infections. The ability of this strain to swiftly spread, evolve, and acquire resistance genes and virulence factors such as pvl genes has further rendered this strain difficult to treat. Of concern, is a recently recognized ability to resist antiseptic/disinfectant agents used as an essential part of treatment and infection control practices.

Introduction: The emergence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is a growing public health concern. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and multi-drug resistant (MDR) profiles of MRSA in goats in Bangladesh.
Methodology: A total of 150 samples from goats comprised of rectal swab (n = 50), nasal swab (n = 50), and milk (n = 50) were collected.
