In the present study, 39 canine isolates of Staphylococcus spp. were tested for antimicrobial substance (AMS) production. Seven AMS producers were identified, whose products exhibited a non-acidic character and a proteinaceous nature, therefore being considered bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS).

Background: Several diagnostic environments in Uganda lack real-time, robust and high-throughput technologies for comprehensive typing of microbes, which is a setback to infectious disease surveillance. This study combined various wet laboratory diagnostics to understand the epidemiology of pathogenic staphylococci isolated from animals in Uganda and the implications for global health security priorities.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted employing records and pathogenic staphylococci (from animals) archived at the Central Diagnostic Laboratory (CDL), Makerere University, Uganda, between January 2012 and December 2019.

and , closely related bacterial species within the genus, present a challenge in classification and diagnosis due to their close genetic proximity and overlapping phenotypic features. Moreover, our understanding of the virulence mechanisms in staphylococcal species, beyond the extensively studied , remains limited, underscoring the importance of using comparative data to enhance our insights into virulence within these bacterial species. This study employed a comprehensive approach, utilizing comparative genomics, to identify genomic distinctions between and , aiming to address the challenges in the accurate classification and diagnosis of these organisms and identify unique features.
