| Summary: | There is a dynamic status carrying on continuously between the infectious bacterial agents and
their surroundings. The main target of bacteria is to survive and to develop different mechanisms
to overcome the hostile environment and so indirectly related to the public health hazards. One of
those methods is to attain resistance genes against wide array of antimicrobial agents along to variant
kinds of mineral elements presented by different concentrations. The whole genome sequence of 13
Staphylococcus (Staph) aureus isolates had been obtained and annotated. Visualization of the whole
bacterial chromosome would give the chance to mine different kind of bacterial genes, and this study
was concerned to look for the resistance genes against the zinc, cobalt and cadmium ions (czc). The
number of resistant genes against the zinc, cobalt and cadmium varied between different isolates
ranging from 2 to 4 alleles per each genome. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis revealed an
extraordinary grade of polymorphism between different alleles within the same genome or among
different ones. Conclusion: there were variable resistant genes against cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), and
cadmium (Cd) developed by the Staphylococcus aureus isolated from sub-clinical cases of mastitis. |
