Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Livestock workers are exposed to bioaerosols comprising pathogens including influenza D virus (IDV), influenza A (IAV), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), all of which can colonize the upper airways (e.g., anterior nares) and pose public health risks. The role of the nasal microbiome in occupational exposure is not well […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is increasing among gram-positive bacteria, particularly the resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to β-lactam antibiotics. In this research, checkerboard minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays, time-killing assays, enzyme inhibition assays, hemolysis tests, and cytotoxicity analyses were performed to confirm the synergistic effects of tunicamycin […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, virulence profiles, and molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) obtained from ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in China. Two hundred seventy-six RTE food-associated S. aureus isolates were collected from 25 provinces across China in 2018, then characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility […]
