Production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) by Staphylococcus spp. isolates from dogs.

Braz J Microbiol

December 2024

Departamento de Microbiologia Geral, Instituto de Microbiologia Paulo de Góes - UFRJ, Av. Carlos Chagas Filho, 373 CCS - Bloco I - Cidade Universitária, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 21941-902, Brazil.

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).

Article Synopsis
  • * Common clinical signs included head tilt, ear pain, and external ear discharge, with specific bacterial infections identified in many cases.
  • * Following treatment, 73% of the cats were clinically healed within 60-240 days, suggesting that this approach is a safe and efficient first-line option for treating this condition in cats.

Integrating multi-wet laboratory diagnostics to study staphylococci in animals in Uganda.

BMC Microbiol

August 2024

Central Diagnostic Laboratory, College of Veterinary medicine, Animal resources and Biosecurity, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.

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.
