Abstract:
The collection of 23 coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated mainly from food in the Czech Republic were tested on the ability to form biofilms in the presence of ampicillin and vancomycin. The antimicrobial sensitivity (16 antibiotics) was determined in all strains by the standard disc diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar plates (NCCLS). The resistance to ampicillin was found in 16 strains (69.5%), all strains being susceptible to vancomycin.

Abstract:
The ATP synthase has been validated as a druggable target with the approval of the ATP synthase inhibitor, bedaquiline, for treatment of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterial species in which the ATP synthase is essential for viability. Gene inactivation studies have also shown that the ATP synthase is essential among Streptococci, and some studies even suggest that inhibition of the ATP synthase is a strategy for the elimination of Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants with deficiencies in the electron transport chain, as well as pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albica

ABSTRACT A description of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements carried by 615 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated in 11 Asian countries is reported, and a novel nomenclatural system based on their structures is proposed. The 615 strains were classified as type 3A (370 strains), type 2A (207 strains), type 2B (32 strains), type 1B (1 strain), and nontypeable (5 strains). The previously reported type III SCCmec (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank accession no. AB037671) carried by the MRSA strain 85/2082 was ascertained to be composed of two SCC elements, type

Background The global problem of antibiotic resistance requires the search for and development of new methods of treatment. One of the promising strategies is the use of low doses of antimicrobial peptides, in particular, human defensins HNP-1, hBD-1, and hBD-3, in combination with antibacterial drugs already used in clinical practice. This approach may be used to increase the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics. However, this requires thorough study of the effectiveness of defensins in combination with antibiotics against a large number of bacterial strains with known phenotypes of anti

Nine frequent spa types accounted for 49.5 % of MRSA isolates, whereas spa type t041 (15 % of all isolates) belonged to a local epidemic strain that is also a common strain type in southern Germany.
