A total of 215 isolates from infections dogs and cats, including 49 Enterococcus faecalis, 37 faecium, 59 Escherichia coli, 56 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 14 Acinetobacter baumannii, were investigated for their susceptibility to 27 (Gram-positive bacteria) or 20 (Gram-negative antimicrobial agents/combinations agents by broth microdilution according the recommendations Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute. Moreover, all analysed biocides benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine, polyhexanide,...
A total of 114 Staphylococcus isolates from various infections companion animals, including 43 feline aureus, 19 canine S. 11 pseudintermedius and 41 were investigated for (i) their susceptibility to 24 antimicrobial agents three combinations by broth microdilution following CLSI recommendations (ii) the corresponding resistance genes. In addition, tested four biocides benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine, polyhexanide octenidine a recently developed biocide testing protocol. Penicillin via...
The detection of borderline oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BORSA) represents a challenge to both, veterinary and human laboratories. Between 2015 2017, 19 equine S. with elevated minimal inhibitory concentrations for oxacillin were detected in routine diagnostics. aim this study was characterize these isolates identify factors possibly associated the BORSA phenotype. All subjected antimicrobial susceptibility testing whole genome sequencing (WGS). A quantifiable β-lactamase...
has significant clinical importance as a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections, with symptoms ranging from mild diarrhoea to severe colitis, and possible life-threatening complications.
Surface disinfectants are regularly used in prophylactic and infection control measures. Concern has been raised whether residues of sub-inhibitory disinfectant concentrations may constitute a selective pressure could contribute to the development strains which tolerant and/or resistant biocides including antibiotics. The current study investigated Staphylococcus (S.) aureus ATCC® 29213™ 6538™ would change their growth characteristics antimicrobial susceptibility profiles after prolonged...
Every laboratory test needs validation by quality controls. For biocide susceptibility testing (BST), neither control (QC) strains nor QC ranges applicable to these are currently available. As strains, four well-defined reference (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 6538, Enterococcus hirae 10541, Escherichia coli 10536 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 15442), which have been used previously for efficacy testing, were selected. In an interlaboratory trial with eleven participating laboratories, BST should...
