Acosta,Atzel C.; Cardoso,Marcos V.O.; Oliveira Filho,Gevanio B.; Pinheiro Junior,José W.; Leite,Ana Cristina L.; Mota,Rinaldo A.ABSTRACT: Mastitis causes significant economic losses to the dairy cattle industry. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial properties of 39 heterocyclic derivatives (1,3-thiazoles and 4-thiazolidinones) against clinical mastitis isolates from dairy cows. Milk samples were collected from cows with clinical mastitis and the bacterial species were identified by PCR. Antibacterial activity was assess...

Acosta,Atzel C.; Oliveira,Pollyanne Raysa F.; Albuquerque,Laís; Silva,Isamara F.; Medeiros,Elizabeth S.; Costa,Mateus M.; Pinheiro Junior,José WiltonABSTRACT: The present study determined the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus virulence genes in 2,253 milk samples of cows (n=1000) and goats (n=1253) raised in three different geographical regions of the state Pernambuco, Brazil. The presence of genes of virulence factors associated to adhesion to host cells (fnbA, fnbB, clfA and clfB), toxinosis (sea, seb, sec, sed, seg, seh, sei, tsst, hla and hlb), and cap...
