Persistence of nasal colonisation with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC398 among participants of veterinary conferences and occurrence among their household members: A prospective cohort study, Germany 2008-2014.
Walter J, Espelage W, Adlhoch C, Cuny C, Schink S, Jansen A, Witte W, Eckmanns T, Hermes J. Walter J, et al. Among authors: witte w. Vet Microbiol. 2017 Feb;200:13-18. doi: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2016.03.015. Epub 2016 Mar 26. Vet Microbiol. 2017. PMID: 27039883
There are only few data on the persistence and transmission of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of the clonal complex (CC) 398 among veterinarians and their household members. We therefore investigated the long-term colonisation with MRSA CC398 among part …

Host range of enterococcal vanA plasmids among Gram-positive intestinal bacteria.
Werner G, Freitas AR, Coque TM, Sollid JE, Lester C, Hammerum AM, Garcia-Migura L, Jensen LB, Francia MV, Witte W, Willems RJ, Sundsfjord A. Werner G, et al. Among authors: witte w. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2011 Feb;66(2):273-82. doi: 10.1093/jac/dkq455. Epub 2010 Dec 3. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2011. PMID: 21131318
Transconjugants were confirmed by determining their phenotypic and genotypic properties. Stability of plasmids in the new host was assessed in long-term growth experiments. RESULTS: In total, 282 enterococcal matings and 73 inter-genus matings were performed and evaluated. …

A timescale for evolution, population expansion, and spatial spread of an emerging clone of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Nübel U, Dordel J, Kurt K, Strommenger B, Westh H, Shukla SK, Zemlicková H, Leblois R, Wirth T, Jombart T, Balloux F, Witte W. Nübel U, et al. Among authors: witte w. PLoS Pathog. 2010 Apr 8;6(4):e1000855. doi: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1000855. PLoS Pathog. 2010. PMID: 20386717 Free PMC article.
While diversity was low, however, our results demonstrate that the short-term evolutionary rate in this natural population of MRSA resulted in the accumulation of measurable DNA sequence variation within two decades, which we could exploit to reconstruct its recent demogra …

spa Typing of Staphylococcus aureus as a frontline tool in epidemiological typing.
Strommenger B, Braulke C, Heuck D, Schmidt C, Pasemann B, Nübel U, Witte W. Strommenger B, et al. Among authors: witte w. J Clin Microbiol. 2008 Feb;46(2):574-81. doi: 10.1128/JCM.01599-07. Epub 2007 Nov 21. J Clin Microbiol. 2008. PMID: 18032612 Free PMC article.
Thus, it is an excellent tool for national and international surveillance of S. aureus as well as for analysis of the short-term local epidemiology. However, to overcome the limitations of the BURP grouping method in terms of typing accuracy and discriminatory power, the r …
