Virulent strains in S aureus

Question

[sinumolg]

Hi,

Anybody has the list of virulent and non-virulent strains name in Staphylococcus aureus? Pls respond

[GenoMax]

Anybody has the data of virulent and non-virulent strains of Staphylococcus aureus? Pls respond

What kind of data? Sequence?

Please try and formulate questions in a way so they have enough information for people to provide answers. Best option would be to edit your original post and add this information.

Answer 1

[Andrzej Zielezinski]

I would use PATRIC database (Bioinformatics Database and Analysis Resource Center).

There is a list of all Staphylococcus aureus strains (currently: 8863 genomes) [last update: 30-Jan-2017].

You can then filter the list of organisms according to:

1. Disease (e.g. pneumonia, gastroenteritis, fever etc.)
2. Host name (e.g. human)
3. Antibiotic resistance (i.e. resistant, susceptible, intermediate)

Finally, you can download the table as Text or Excel files.

Note: PATRIC articles: 2014, 2017.

Thank you for such a valuable data . Its really helpfull

See these articles, they may help you:

Identification of Secreted Exoproteome Fingerprints of Highly-Virulent and Non-Virulent Staphylococcus aureus Strains

This is about chickens.

It's about virulent strains for humans from paper currency:

http://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(09)00134-9/abstract?cc=y= - just abstract

http://dx.doi.org.sci-hub.cc/10.1016/j.ijid.2009.02.020# - full text

"Sixty-seven isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from paper currency from the two Indian cities. The maximum number of isolates was recovered from hospitals, followed by mutton shops, and the minimum from restaurants. The test isolates could survive on paper currency for eight days under in vitro conditions (27 °C temperature and 30% relative humidity). A set of four virulence genes viz. cna (16 isolates), icaA (19 isolates), hlg (21 isolates), and sdrE (18 isolates) was amplified using gene-specific primers. Only eight isolates possessed all four virulence genes. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that those isolates having all the tested virulence genes were more resistant."

again human case, but it has been already mentioned above:

"a virulent clinical isolate (Staph 38)"

Thank you for your response. We are looking for pathogenic strains in Human only. Do you have such information?

[natasha.sernova]

Yes, see my answer again.

Thank you for the link .

Its also helpfull
