Patterns of antimicrobial, multidrug and methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus spp. isolated from canine specimens submitted to a diagnostic laboratory in Tennessee, USA: a descriptive study

Jennifer Lord et al.

Summary: This study investigated antimicrobial, multidrug, and methicillin resistance patterns among four common Staphylococcus species isolated from canine clinical specimens. The results showed significant levels of resistance, particularly in MRSP and MRESA, with increasing temporal trends. Detection methods such as oxacillin and cefoxitin disk diffusion tests were found to be effective in identifying resistance genes. Continued surveillance and guided treatment decisions are recommended for managing this concerning issue.

Antimicrobial activity of harzianic acid againstStaphylococcus pseudintermedius

Anna De Filippis et al.

Summary: The study found that harzianic acid produced by Trichoderma E45 and ET45 has significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, making it a potential alternative for both methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible strains. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of harzianic acid as the major compound responsible for biological activities.

S. pseudintermedius and S. aureus lineages with transmission ability circulate as causative agents of infections in pets for years

Laura Ruiz-Ripa et al.

Summary: The study on staphylococci isolated from diseased pets in a veterinary hospital in Spain revealed a high prevalence of MR and MDR isolates, as well as notable virulence traits, indicating limited treatment options. This is the first identification of MRSA-ST398 and MRSP-ST68 in pets in Spain, suggesting the circulation of transmissible lineages with mobilizable resistomes as causative agents of infections among pets for years.

Synergistic Effect of Abietic Acid with Oxacillin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

Elisabetta Buommino et al.

Summary: Resin acid, specifically abietic acid, has been shown to exhibit significant antimicrobial activity against MRSP, increasing the susceptibility of MRSP strains to oxacillin. Additionally, it demonstrates a moderate antagonistic effect on the vitality of treated MSSP and MRSP biofilms, as well as reducing the expression of mecA, mecR1, and mec1 genes. These findings suggest the potential of abietic acid as a therapeutic agent in combinatorial antibiotic therapy against MRSP.

Iron-withdrawing anti-infectives for new host-directed therapies based on iron dependence, the Achilles' heel of antibiotic-resistant microbes

Bruce E. Holbein et al.

Summary: The iron dependence of antibiotic-resistant microbes can be exploited broadly, as iron withdrawal enhances antibiotic activity and suppresses growth of resistant microbial survivors. Novel anti-microbial iron chelators, such as DIBI, show potential in enhancing antibiotic efficacy against resistant microbes.

Data on before and after the Traceability System of Veterinary Antimicrobial Prescriptions in Small Animals at the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Naples

Claudia Chirollo et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the consumption of antimicrobials before and after the mandatory use of VEP at the Italian University Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Naples, showing that after VEP implementation, antibiotic usage aligned more closely with recommendations, helping to limit improper use of antibiotics and spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens.

On Gram-Positive- and Gram-Negative-Bacteria-Associated Canine and Feline Skin Infections: A 4-Year Retrospective Study of the University Veterinary Microbiology Diagnostic Laboratory of Naples, Italy

Francesca Paola Nocera et al.

Summary: The study found that Staphylococcus and Gram-negative bacteria are the most common pathogens in skin infections of small animals, and the increasing prevalence of multi-drug-resistant strains is a concerning trend. This spread is not only significant in veterinary medicine but also has implications for zoonotic diseases.
