Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a conditionally pathogenic microorganism and one of the main causative agents of antibiotic resistant nosocomial infections. In immunocompromised people, S. aureus infection can cause folliculitis, furuncles, impetigo, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, sepsis, endocarditis, pneumonia and meningitis. In the presented work, sequencing of a methicillin-resistant S. aureus, strain 4233, was performed on the Illumina MiSeq platform, followed by bioinformatics processing and gene annotation using SPAdes, RAST and CARD programs and databases. The submitted genome is a total of 2,790,390 bp long and contains 2759 genes, including 82 RNA genes. 33 % of the genes are functionally significant and represent 25 functional groups. Fourteen genes encoding resistance factors to 14 different types of antibacterial drugs were predicted. The information provided on the genome of S. aureus, strain 4233 will be of value in investigating the evolution and formation of antibiotic-resistant forms of S. aureus.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a frequent cause of infections worldwide. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the main causes of Gram-positive infections, and methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA) primarily colonize and infect community hosts. Multiple virulence factors are involved, with toxins playing a significant role in several diseases. In this study, we assess the prevalence of toxin genes in 89 S. aureus clinical isolates (31 MRSA and 58 MSSA). We evaluated the discriminatory power of the association of internal transcribed spacer-PCR (ITS-PCR) and 3'- end coa gene ( coa-PCR) when compared with other more commonly used and costly techniques. The isolates showed a high level of genetic diversity, and toxins were found in all the isolates. While most toxin classes displayed no statistically significant correlations and were equally distributed in isolates regardless of their resistance status, classic enterotoxins ( sea-see) showed a positive correlation with MSSA isolates. The combination of coa-PCR with ITS-PCR showed a discriminatory index of 0.84, discriminating 22 genotypes that agree with previously determined data by PFGE and MLST. This association between the two PCR-based methods suggests that they can be useful for an initial molecular epidemiological investigation of S. aureus in hospitals, providing significant information while requiring fewer resources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is exacerbated by Staphylococcus aureus, which is capable of displacing not only the physiological microbiota, but also other strains of its own species. Analyses of the molecular characteristics and relationships of S. aureus strains present in different microniches are lacking. OBJECTIVES To determine, using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), the relationship of S. aureus isolates from the lesional and nonlesional skin and anterior nares of patients with AD, and to review the characteristics of the dominant clones. METHODS Sixty-three individuals with active AD were enrolled. Ten patients with moderate-to-severe AD (SCoring of Atopic Dermatitis score ≥ 25) colonized by S. aureus in all analysed locations were included in the MLST analysis. RESULTS The most prevalent sequence types were 7 (10/30 strains; 33.3%), 15 and 97 (both 5/30 strains; 16.7%) all of which were associated with the expression of adhesins and toxins promoting chronic microbial dysbiosis, skin barrier damage and inflammation. Six patients (60%) were carriers of clonal S. aureus strains at all analysed locations, three (30%) carriers in lesional and nonlesional skin, and one (10%) was a carrier in nonlesional skin and the anterior nares. CONCLUSIONS The results imply that the identified S. aureus lineages are better adapted to dominate the microbiota in AD. Decontaminating the identified reservoirs of S. aureus (i.e. anterior nares and nonlesional skin) could reduce the severity of AD.

Abstract
A Staphylococcus aureus isolate (SA01) obtained from bloodstream infection exhibited a remarkable drug resistance profile. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of S. aureus ST 5 SA01, a multidrug-resistant isolate, and analyzed the genes associated with drug resistance and virulence. The genome sketch of S. aureus ST5 SA01 was sequenced with Illumina and annotated using the Prokka software. Rapid Annotation Subsystem Technology (RAST) was used to verify the gene functions in the genome subsystems. The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) and Virulence Factor Database (VFDB) were used in the analysis. The RAST indicated a contribution of 25 proteins to host adenine, fibronectin-binding protein A (FnbA), and biofilm formation as an intercellular polysaccharide adhesive system (PIA). The MLST indicated that S. aureus ST 5 SA01 belongs to ST5 (CC5). In silico analyses also showed an extensive repertoire of genes associated with toxins, such as LukGH leukocidin, enterotoxins, and superantigen staphylococcal classes (SSL). The 11 genes for antimicrobial resistance in S. aureus ST 5 SA01 showed similarity and identity above ≥ 99% with nucleotide sequences deposited in GenBank. Although studies on ST5 clones in Brazil are scarce, monitoring the clone of S. aureus ST 5 SA01 is essential, as it has become a problem in pediatrics in several countries.

Abstract
Purpose Nephrolithiasis is a worldwide disease, and 4.7% of the patients may develop postoperative sepsis. Characterization of virulence genes of bacteria associated with renal stones is still lacking in the literature. The study aimed to investigate the virulence genes of the predominant stone bacterial isolate and their association with postoperative septic complications in patients treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods Stone and midstream urine samples were collected from 200 nephrolithiasis patients who underwent PCNL. Microbiological examination and virulence profile were studied for the common bacteria isolated from the stones. Results Microbiological analysis revealed that Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant organism in stone samples (42.8%), while Escherichia coli (56.6%) was the dominant pathogen in midstream urine. Eight patients (4%) developed septic complications; stone culture was positive for S. aureus in seven and E. coli in one patient, while all but one had negative midstream urine. The patient with positive midstream urine culture had also S. aureus infection. Detection of virulence genes in S. aureus isolated from stones showed a high positivity of the hemolysine gene hla (93.3%) and adhesion gene fnbA (73.3%), whereas enterotoxin genes (sec and sea) were negative in all S. aureus stone cultures. Moreover, the adhesion genes (fnbB and can), hemolysine gene (hlb), panton-valentine leukocidin (pvl) gene and the enterotoxin gene (seb) were significantly higher in septic patients compared to the non-septic ones (p< 0.05). Interestingly, there was a significant relation between the existence of virulence genes and the resistance of antibiotics (p < 0.05). Conclusion There has been a notable shift toward gram-positive organisms (S. aureus) in the stone culture. Moreover, S. aureus virulence genes were significantly attributed to the resistance of some antibiotics and postoperative septic complications, suggesting that the stone culture could be more informative than urine culture, especially in predicting the risk of postoperative sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare workers are susceptible to colonization by multiresistant bacteria, which can increase the risk of outbreaks. METHODS Samples were collected from the nasopharynx, hands, and lab coats of healthcare workers. The phenotypic identification was carried out using a VITEK®2 rapid test system. PCR tests for the mecA gene and the sequencing of the amplicons were performed. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus phylogenies were reconstructed using the Bayesian inference. RESULTS A total of 225 healthcare workers participated in this study. Of these, 21.3% were male and 78.7% female. S. epidermidis and S.aureus showed high levels of resistance to penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline and cefoxitin. The prevalence of methicillin resistant S. aureus was 3.16% and methicillin resistant S. epidermidis was 100%. Multilocus sequence typing identified 23 new S. epidermidis sequence types, and one new allele and sequence type for S. aureus. The frequency of methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis in nursing and hemotherapy technicians as a percentage of the total number of healthcare workers was 5.8-3.1%, while the frequency of methicillin resistant S. aureus in hemotherapy technicians and biomedics, as a percentage of the total number of healthcare workers was 4.2-8.9%%. CONCLUSIONS The healthcare workers at the city's blood bank, even when taking the necessary care with their hands, body and clothes, harbour methicillin-resistant S. aureus and S. epidermidis sequence types, which, as a potential source of multidrug resistant bacteria, can contribute to nosocomial infections among hematological patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify microorganisms isolated from patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances and to evaluate the resistance of isolated bacterial strains to different antimicrobials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen healthy patients wearing a fixed orthodontic appliance (group 1) and six nonwearers (group 2, control group) were evaluated. The biofilm that formed around the orthodontic brackets was collected, and the samples were then plated in a chromogenic medium (chromIDT, bioMérieux). Colony-forming units (CFUs) were isolated and inoculated in blood-agar medium. Automated biochemical tests (VITEK 2, bioMérieux) were carried out to identify the genus and species of the microorganisms and the resistance provided by 43 drugs (37 antibacterial and 6 antifungal). RESULTS The most prevalent microbial genera identified in group 1 were Streptococcus (24.0%), Staphylococcus (20.0%), Enterobacter (12.0%), Geobacillus (12.0%), and Candida (12.0%), and the most frequent species were Enterobacter cloacae complex (13.6%) and Staphylococcus hominis (13.6%). In group 2, the most prevalent genera were Streptococcus (57.1%), Staphylococcus (14.2%), Sphingomonas (14.2%), and Enterobacter (14.2%). With regard to antimicrobial resistance, 14 of 19 (74%) isolated bacterial strains were found to be resistant to at least 1 of the tested antimicrobials. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study suggest that patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances have a more complex biofilm with a higher level of bacterial resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-bloodstream infections (BSI) are predominantly seen in the hospital or healthcare-associated host. Nevertheless, the interactions of virulence factor (VFs) regulators and β-lactam resistance in MRSA-BSI are unclear. This study aims to characterize the molecular relationship of two-component systems of VFs and the expression of the β-lactamase gene in MRSA-BSI isolates. In this study, 639 samples were collected from BSI and identified by phenotypic methods. We performed extensive molecular characterization, including SCCmec type, agr type, VFs gene profiles determinations, and MLST on isolates. Also, a quantitative real-time PCR (q-RT PCR) assay was developed for identifying the gene expressions. RESULTS Ninety-one (91) S. aureus and 61 MRSA (67.0%) strains were detected in BSI samples. The presence of VFs and SCCmec genes in MRSA isolates were as follows: tst (31.4%), etA (18.0%), etB (8.19%), lukS-PVL (31.4%), lukF-PV (18.0%), lukE-lukD (16.3%), edin (3.2%), hla (16.3%), hlb (18.0%), hld (14.7%), hlg (22.9%), SCCmecI (16.3%), SCCmecII (22.9%), SCCmecIII (36.0%), SCCmecIV (21.3%), and SCCmecV (16.3%). Quantitative real-time PCR showed overexpression of mecRI and mecI in the toxigenic isolates. Moreover, RNAIII and sarA genes were the highest expressions of MRSA strains. The multi-locus sequence typing data confirmed a high prevalence of CC5, CC8, and CC30. However, ST30, ST22, and ST5 were the most prevalent in the resistant and toxigenic strains. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that although regulation of β-lactamase gene expressions is a significant contributor to resistance development, two-component systems also influence antibiotic resistance development in MRSA-BSI isolates. This indicates that resistant strains might have pathogenic potential. We also confirmed that some MLST types are more successful colonizers with a potential for MRSA-BSI.

Abstract
Anadenanthera colubrina var cebil (Griseb.) Altschul is a medicinal plant found throughout the Brazilian semi-arid area. This work performed a bioguided purification of active substances present in ethyl acetate extract from A. colubrina leaves. The anti-Staphylococcus aureus and antioxidant actions were used as markers of bioactivity. The extract was subjected to flash chromatography resulting in five fractions (F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5). The fractions F2 and F4 presented the highest antimicrobial action, with a dose able to inhibit 50% of bacteria growth (IN50) of 19.53 μg/mL for S. aureus UFPEDA 02; whereas F4 showed higher inhibitory action towards DPPH radical (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) [dose able to inhibit 50% of the radical (IC50) = 133 ± 9 μg/mL]. F2 and F4 were then subjected to preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), resulting in the identification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and hyperoside as the major compounds in F2 and F4, respectively. Hyperoside and p-hydroxybenzoic acid presented IN50 values of 250 μg/mL and 500 μg/mL against S. aureus UFPEDA 02, respectively. However, the hyperoside had an IN50 of 62.5 μg/mL against S. aureus UFPEDA 705, a clinical isolate with multidrug resistant phenotype. Among the purified compounds, the proanthocyanidins obtained from F2 exhibited the higher antioxidant potentials. Taken together, these results highlight the potential of A. colubrina leaves as an alternative source of biomolecules of interest for the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.
