Antibiotic Resistance/Susceptibility Profiles of <em>Staphylococcus equorum </em>Strains from Cheese, and Genome Analysis for Antibiotic Resistance Genes
Abstract:In this work, the resistance/susceptibility (R/S) profile of Staphylococcus equorum strains (n=30) from cheese to 16 antibiotics was determined by broth microdilution. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for all antibiotics was low in most strains, although higher MICs compatible with acquired genes were also noted. Genome analysis of 13 strains showed the S. equorum resistome to be composed of intrinsic mechanisms, acquired mutations, and acquired genes. However, the genetic data did not always correla… Show more
