Department of Microbiology, University of Catania, Italy
Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob 8:22. 2009..We document the detection of ST1, ST8, ST15 and ST30 in the 1980 isolates; we hypothesize their possible latency and their appearance as the current CA-MRSA clones...- DNA methylase modifications and other linezolid resistance mutations in coagulase-negative staphylococci in ItalyDafne Bongiorno
Department of Microbiology, University of Catania, Via Androne 81, 95124 Catania, Italy
J Antimicrob Chemother 65:2336-40. 2010..This study reports the mechanisms of resistance and strain types seen in clusters of linezolid-resistant CoNS from two different hospitals in Italy during the period 2008-09... - In vitro activity of daptomycin against methicillin- and multi-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus invasive isolates carrying different mec complexesFloriana Campanile
Department of Microbiology, University of Catania, Catania, Italy
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 61:227-31. 2008..Our results show the good in vitro activity of daptomycin in MRSH strains possessing a multi-resistant phenotype. Clinical data on daptomycin efficacy are necessary to confirm our in vitro findings... - Evaluation of the in vitro activity of tigecycline against multiresistant Gram-positive cocci containing tetracycline resistance determinantsSonia Borbone

Microb Drug Resist 9:191-9. 2003..Moreover, isolates with identical PFGE types may contain different VanA elements reflecting rearrangements mediated by insertion sequences in VRE strains during their stay in the gastrointestinal tract... - Genomic diversification of enterococci in hosts: the role of the mobilomeMaria Santagati
Molecular Microbiology and Antibiotic Resistance Lab, Department of Microbiology, University of Catania Catania, Italy
Front Microbiol 3:95. 2012..Certainly more extensive studies using new high throughput technologies are mandatory to fully understand the evolution of predominant clones and species in different hosts and environments... - The novel conjugative transposon tn1207.3 carries the macrolide efflux gene mef(A) in Streptococcus pyogenesMaria Santagati
Department of Microbiology, University of Catania, 95124 Catania, Italy
Microb Drug Resist 9:243-7. 2003..The previously described nonconjugative element Tn1207.1 of S. pneumoniae appears to be a defective element, part of a longer conjugative transposon that carries mef(A) and is found in clinical isolates of S. pyogenes...
