AI Article Synopsis
- Mastitis is a significant health issue for dairy cows globally, with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) identified as a key cause of chronic infections.
- A study in Argentina analyzed 90 CNS strains from cows with mastitis, highlighting that Staphylococcus haemolyticus produced the strongest biofilms and several biofilm-related genes were present.
- The research also found resistance to common antibiotics, providing critical insights for developing effective mastitis control strategies.
Article Abstract
Mastitis affects the health and welfare of dairy cows worldwide. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are known to form biofilms and are increasingly recognized as a cause of persistent bovine intramammary infections. A total of 90 CNS isolated from cows with clinical and subclinical mastitis in Argentina from 2008 to 2014 were identified by PCR-RFLP using the gap gene. Standard microtiter plate assays were used to assess CNS biofilm formation, and Staphylococcus haemolyticus species formed the strongest biofilms. The presence of biofilm-associated genes icaA, bap and aap was detected in a few isolates, while embP, fbe, atlE and eno were present in the majority of isolates. Genes encoding resistance to β-lactams were detected among the isolates; blaZ, mecA and mecC were detected in 21, 4 and 1 isolate, respectively. Resistance to macrolides and lincosamides (n = 6) was attributable to ermB, ermC, mphC or mrsA or a combination of those genes. In this study, we identified CNS species involved in mastitis and provide information about pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance, which is essential to design efficient strategies to control mastitis caused by CNS.

Introduction: The development of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBLs) () has become a global threat to public health. An alternative strategy to alleviate this is identifying potential natural compounds to restore antibiotic activity against ESBLs . This study aimed to find a possible compound to restore ESBLs sensitivity to ceftiofur.

The process of biofilm formation during table olive fermentation is crucial to turning this fermented vegetable into a probiotic food. Some phenolic compounds have been described as important quorum-sensing molecules during biofilm development. The present in vitro study examined the effects of three phenolic compounds widely found in table olive fermentations (Oleuropein 0-3000 ppm, Hydroxytyrosol 0-3000 ppm, and Tyrosol 0-300 ppm) on the development of single biofilm by diverse microorganisms isolated from table olives ( 13B4, Lp119, and LPG1; Lp15 and LAB23; and yeasts Y12, Y13, and Y18).

Disinfection by-products (DBPs), formed from biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and organic matter during regular disinfection practices in drinking water distribution systems, poses a potential threat to drinking water safety. However, the diverse DBP formations induced by the intertwined algal organic matter (AOM) and bacterial EPS remains elusive. In this study, we show substantial variations in EPS and DBP formation patterns driven by AOM biosorption with divalent ions (Ca and Mg).
