Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pet-to-Man Travelling Staphylococci: A World in Progress explores Staphylococci, a dangerous pathogen that affects both humans and animals with a wide range of infection states. This bacteria can spread rapidly as a commensal organism in both humans and pets, and is an agent of disease. Staphylococci are potentially highly virulent pathogens which require urgent medical attention. In addition, Staphylococci remain a threat within hospital environments, where they can quickly spread across a patient population. This book explores the organisms' resistance to many compounds used to treat them, treatment failure and multidrug resistant staphylococci, amongst other related topics. Focuses not only on man and animal staphylococcal diseases, but on the role of shared household in man-to-pet (and vice versa) transmission Underlines the importance of professional exposure to mammals (i.e. veterinary and farm personnel) in the establishment of shared colonization's and related diseases Highlights the impact of shared staphylococci and virulence determinants in human and veterinary pathology Sheds light on the way staphylococci may be recognized in clinical laboratories

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers updated topics on the genus Staphylococcus, including the latest discoveries. In each chapter, the author discusses the results obtained and published during her 20-plus years as a researcher in this area. The book is divided into eight chapters, with a presentation of the genus Staphylococcus, current classification, general characteristics of these bacteria and the clinical significance of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), which are often classified as mere blood culture contaminants, but are the etiological agents most commonly associated with neonatal infections and peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Coagulase-negative staphylococci can colonize the surface of catheters and produce an extracellular polysaccharide that leads to the formation of biofilms which potentiate their pathogenicity. The book also focuses on the identification of CoNS, virulence factors responsible for the symptoms and severity of infections caused by Staphylococcus spp. These factors include membrane-active toxins, called cytotoxins, and a group of pyrogenic toxin superantigens. Several current aspects related to the virulence of S. aureus and CoNS are discussed, including isolates of different origins, phenotypic and genotypic techniques for the detection of these toxins, and the gene regulation mechanism involved in the expression of these toxins. Another extremely important topic which is discussed is the resistance of these microorganisms to antimicrobial agents. MRSA currently represent a serious threat to public health worldwide due to the rapid dissemination and diversification of pandemic clones. The epidemiology of MRSA infections is discussed highlights the importance of understanding why specific clones predominated in different regions in order to develop more effective control strategies and to choose more appropriate antimicrobial therapy. In this book, the topics are explained in a clear and objective manner and should be useful for postgraduate students, physicians and researchers.

Download or read book Studies on Variations in Characteristics of the Enterotoxigenic Staphylococci written by B. S. Mahadev and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enterotoxigenicity of strains of S aureus have been related with certain important biochemical charateristics such as production of TDNase, Coagulase and phosphatase and mannitol fermentation. Hence in assessing the pathogenicity of a strain of S aureus isolated from foods, some of these characteristics particularly production of Coagulase and TDNase were used as indices of enterotoxigenicity. However in present study variations in almost all the important characteristicss of staphylococci were observed among the isolates obtained after exposure of different strains of S aureus to various stress factors. Although the isolates showed the stability in one or two characteristics under different stress conditions, in general variations were observed among the isolates more frequently in their ability to produce TDNase, Coagulase and enterotoxin (s) as well as mannitol fermentation. Considering the variation in the characteristics of staphylococci, it can be stated that mere emphasis on a few important characteristics of S aureus in relating to their enterotoxigenicity may mislead the investigator in identifying the pathogenic strains, especially when the strains have undergone stress conditions in the initial stages. It is also observed, when the variants obtained after exposure to different stress factos were passed through different enrichment media, a few of the lost physiological characters were regained and in some strains enterotoxin production also regained. Hence the type of enrichment media to be used, can be decided based on the tests to be carried out, like indicator tests or the tests for the enterotoxin delection. Even the source from which the isolates are obtained is to be taken into consideration along with the test to be carried out before deciding the enrichment media to be used.

Book excerpt: In addition, selected pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of C-NS were compared for their ability to adhere to human cells in vitro. Although the results were not conclusive, it appeared that pathogenic C-NS adhered more avidly than non-pathogenic C-NS to buccal cells. Experiments with HeLa cells showed no difference between pathogenic and non-pathogenic C-NS in adherence abilities.

Download or read book Microbial Toxins in Dairy Products written by Adnan Y. Tamime and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food-borne diseases, including those via dairy products, have been recognised as major threats to human health. The causes associated with dairy food-borne disease are the use of raw milk in the manufacture of dairy products, faulty processing conditions during the heat treatment of milk, post-processing contamination, failure in due diligence and an unhygienic water supply. Dairy food-borne diseases affecting human health are associated with certain strains of bacteria belonging to the genera of Clostridium, Bacillus, Escherichia, Staphylococcus and Listeria, which are capable of producing toxins, plus moulds that can produce mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, sterigmatocytin and ochratoxin. Microbial Toxins in Dairy Products reviews the latest scientific knowledge and developments for detecting and studying the presence of these toxins in dairy products, updating the analytical techniques required to examine bacterial and mould toxins and the potential for contamination of milk as it passes along the food chain, i.e. from 'farm-to-fork'. This comprehensive and accessible collection of techniques will help dairy processors, food scientists, technologists, researchers and students to further minimise the incidences of dairy food-borne illnesses in humans.

Download or read book Frontiers in Staphylococcus aureus written by Shymaa Enany and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staphylococcus was first recognized as a human pathogen in 1880 and was named for its grape cluster-like appearance. In 1884, Staphylococcus aureus was identified and named for its vibrant golden color, which was later found to be the result of golden toxin production. Here, experts examine in-depth patterns of S. aureus colonization and exposures in humans, mammals, and birds that have led to the development of various clinical diseases. The mode of transmission of S. aureus and different methods for its detection in different samples are defined. Conventional antibiotic options to treat this aggressive, multifaceted, and readily adaptable pathogen are becoming limited. Alternative, novel chemotherapeutics to target S. aureus are discussed in the pages within, including herbal medicines, bee products, and modes of delivery.
