Abstract: The present study determined the complete rpoB and seven partial house-keeping gene sequences of 29 human (20) and poultry (9) strains of Staphylococcus aureus, and conducted a phylogenetic analysis together with 39 strains in the GenBank and EMBL databases. On the basis of complete rpoB gene sequence (RS) typing , 28 different rpoB sequence types (RSTs) were identified; however, only 23 multilocus sequence types (STs) were identified by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). RST 2-1 was a major RST covering 23.5% (16/68) of the analyzed strains followed by RST 4-1 (14.7%, 10/68). Out of 10 poultry strains including one in the database, 9 and 1 were classified into unique RSTs 3-1 and 6-3, respectively. According to the MLST, ST5 was a major sequence type covering 25.0% (17/68) of them, followed by STs 228 and 239 (for each ST, 11.8%, 8/68), and poultry strains were grouped into ST5 (9/10) and ST692 (1/10). The poultry ST5 strains were differentiated from human ST5 strains and rifampin resistance-related mutations were observed in some human S. aureus strains by RS typing. Thus, RS typing was more discriminative and informative than MLST, and it can be a simple and economic alternative to MLST for identification and phylogenetic analysis of S. aureus.

TL;DR: This study provides a first detailed insight into the mechanisms of action and S. aureus resistance arising from exposure to carvacrol, citral, and (+)-limonene oxide and identifies the genetic modifications responsible for their increased resistance.

TL;DR: The existence of four strains of community-acquired MRSA (SCCmec type IVa) indicated the dissemination of MRSA strains from the community to hospitals, and the MRSA isolates demonstrated strong antimicrobial resistance.

Evolution of a major bovine mastitic genotype ( rpoB sequence type 10-2) of Staphylococcus aureus in cows
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of two RST10-2 MSSA that differ from each other in staphylococcal protein A and molecular prophage types is determined and the unique pseudogene profile and high identity of the virulence genes were verified in RST 10-2 field strains from bovine mastitis.
Rapid Screening and Comparison of Chimeric Lysins for Antibacterial Activity against Staphylococcus aureus Strains
TL;DR: In this article , a simple cell-free expression system was proposed for using in screening activity via a turbidity reduction test, which is more appropriate than a colony reduction test when applied in multiple screening, and verified the relatively strong activity associated with the CHAP domain of secretory antigen SSAA-like protein (ALS2).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in addition to the two regulator mutations, a third mutation found in the Mu50 rpoB gene, encoding the RNA polymerase β subunit, was required for Mu3 to achieve the level of vancomycin resistance of Mu50.
