Bacterial burden and drug-resistant bacteria in healthcare workers' mobile phones: a study in Puerto Rican outpatient clinics.
Infect Prev Pract
March 2025
San Juan Bautista School of Medicine, Caguas, Puerto Rico.
Background: Mobile phones used by healthcare workers (HCWs) in hospitals are significant reservoirs of drug-resistant bacteria responsible for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the level of contamination with such bacteria in outpatient clinics.
Methods: Swabs from 83 HCWs' mobile phones were processed using standard biochemical and enzymatic procedures to identify pathogenic bacteria.
Antimicrobial resistance, virulence profiling, and drug repurposing analysis of Staphylococcus aureus from camel mastitis.

Article Synopsis
- Polymerase chain reaction-based open reading frame typing (POT) was used to study MRSA strains from neonatal intensive care units, focusing on their relationship with nosocomial infections and specific genes.
- In total, 44 MRSA strains were analyzed, revealing 14 different POT types, with 28 strains identified as nosocomial infections and 11 strains carrying toxin-producing genes.
- The study concluded that while certain POT types are associated with nosocomial infections, there wasn't a clear link between the presence of toxin-producing genes or antiseptic resistance and these infections, suggesting other factors may play a role.
Investigation of Biofilm Formation Ability and Antibiotic Resistance of Isolates from Food Products.
Foodborne Pathog Dis
November 2024
Laboratory For Food Safety, University Paris Est, Paris, France.
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.
Coexistence of the blaZ gene and selected virulence determinants in multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: insights from three Nigerian tertiary hospitals.
BMC Infect Dis
November 2024
Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
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.
