is found in the normal skin and mucosa of approximately 30% of healthy populations and is the most common pathogen in human disease associated with bacteria. They are divided into methicillin-sensitive . aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The strains carrying the Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes (SA-PVL) were initially believed to belong to the MRSA group; however, recent reports showed they also belonged to the MSSA group (MSSA-PVL). SA-PVL is common in skin and soft-tissue infections but rare in musculoskeletal infections, especially in spondylodiscitis. We are reporting a case suffering from cervical spondylodiscitis and epidural abscess associated with MSSA carrying the Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes.

Background: Nasopharyngeal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for subsequent infection. Isolates from colonization can therefore provide important information on virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance when data from clinical isolates are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess colonization rates, resistance patterns and selected virulence factors of S.

: and are major opportunistic pathogens in both humans and dogs. In pets, the dissemination of methicillin-resistant isolates (MRSA or MRSP) is problematic for the treatment of animals and is a public health issue due to their zoonotic potential. MRSA and MRSP may also harbor virulent genes that increase their dangerousness.

Article Synopsis
- * Most isolates showed high resistance to antibiotics, particularly penicillin G (91.25%) and tetracycline (41.25%), with 12 being methicillin-resistant (MRSA).
- * The study highlights the potential public health risk posed by biofilm producers and multidrug-resistant isolates in food products, urging for better control measures in the food production chain.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed samples from 206 burn and wound patients and 94 healthcare workers to assess the frequency and molecular characteristics of certain pathogens at a teaching hospital in Nigeria, finding 4.4% and 5.3% of samples positive, respectively.
- - A significant portion (50%) of the identified strains was associated with two specific SCC types and many showed multidrug resistance, with diverse types identified, including three new variants.
- - The research emphasized the prevalence of genetically diverse and potentially harmful strains, stressing the necessity for better monitoring of resistant pathogens in healthcare settings.

Background And Purpose: Infections caused by β-lactamase-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus have become increasingly difficult to treat due to the expression of multiple virulence factors. This has heightened concerns about managing S. aureus-related infections.
