Journal Article
Loeffler, A., Beever, L., Ruby Chang, Y., Klein, B., Kostka, V., Meyer, C., …Lloyd, D. H. (in press). Intervention with impact: reduced MRSP isolations from dogs following antimicrobial prescribing legislation in Germany. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.3714

Background: Legislation was introduced in Germany in 2018, requiring bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing before prescribing of fluoroquinolones and third generation cephalosporins to dogs. We hypothesised that following this in... Read More about Intervention with impact: reduced MRSP isolations from dogs following antimicrobial prescribing legislation in Germany.

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and plasmid-mediated cephalosporinase (AmpC)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL/AmpC-E) are an increasing healthcare problem in both human and veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the po...

Detecting mecA in faecal samples: a tool for assessing carriage of meticillin resistant staphylococci in pets and owners in the microbiological ‘fast age’? (2023)
Journal Article
Frosini, S., Gallow, G., Gibson, A., Menezes, J., Pomba, C., & Loeffler, A. (in press). Detecting mecA in faecal samples: a tool for assessing carriage of meticillin resistant staphylococci in pets and owners in the microbiological ‘fast age’?. Microbiology Research, https://doi.org/10.3390/microbiolres14010005

Sampling animals for carriage of meticillin-resistant coagulase-positive staphylococci (MRCoPS), considered zoonotic pathogens, can be challenging and time-consuming. Developing methods to identify mecA from non-invasive samples, e.g. faeces, would b...
