| dc.description.abstract | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-related illnesses have become more
common in recent years, posing a significant problem for medical treatment. As typical
commensals of the natural flora in equines, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) possess the
ability to induce infections under specific circumstances, especially after surgical
interventions. These opportunistic bacterial infections are prevalent within healthcare
settings; the growth of multidrug-resistant organisms (MRE) and nosocomial infections is
primarily attributed to the misuse of antibiotics and inadequate compliance to preventive
hygiene protocols. The therapy for these infections has become increasingly challenging.
While most S. aureus strains do not pose an immediate threat to the host after colonization,
some of them have increased pathogenic potential and are resistant to a variety of
antimicrobial agents. | en_US |
