Since the 2000s, sporadic outbreaks of whooping cough have been reported in advanced countries, where acellular pertussis vaccination rate is relatively high, and developing countries.

ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a drug-resistant pathogen causing subclinical and clinical bovine mastitis. This study examined the molecular properties, biofilm formation, virulence genes, antimicrobial susceptibility of MRSA isolates from mastitis-infected dairy cow milk in South Korea. Whole-genome sequencing an ST22-SCC mec IV strain positive for Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) was also performed. Of 488 S . isolates,...
