“…Methicillin resistance among S. aureus strains has especially increased rapidly in last decades (Ito et al, 2003). Methicillin (2,6-dimethoxyphenyl penicillin) was first developed in 1959 by George Rawlinson and Ralph Batchelor in England (Rolinson et al, 1960;Dutfield, 2009) and released under the name "Celbenin" for the treatment of penicillinresistant S. aureus infections (Knox, 1961). Shortly thereafter in 1961, the first isolation of MRSA was reported in England (Jevons, 1961;Enright et al, 2002).…”

ABSTRACT. Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that causes severe infections in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the antimicrobial profile of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in cow bulk tank milk and dairy products in the region of Balikesir in Turkey. Of 175 milk and dairy products' samples, 26 were found to be positive for coagulase-positive staphylococci and 3 (2 samples from cow bulk tank milk and 1 sample from tulum cheese) were MRSA phenotypically being resistant against both oxacillin and cefoxitin. Among these, 17 were confirmed as S. aureus by the detection of nuc gene and one as MRSA carrying the mecA gene. All MRSA isolates were found to be also resistant against ampicillin, penicillin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. Consequently, even though the prevalence of MRSA in cow bulk tank milk and dairy products was relatively low (1.70%), it may pose serious risks in terms of food safety and public health. In order to prevent the prevalence of MRSA in dairy products, hygienic measures, especially in terms of personal hygiene and disinfection of equipment in all stages of dairy production, should be taken, and HACCP and GMP regulations should be implemented.

This paper considers factors that are relevant to recent efforts to formulate Intellectual Property Policies in Africa following the adoption of the Development Agenda by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). It highlights the need to develop policies tailored for each country's socio-economic status and the need to use evidence to ensure a rigorous policy approach. It also considers WIPO's technical assistance may be more effectively used by African states in their policy processes and concludes with a research agenda intended to stimulate critical engagement with these key issues.

“…Industry had an active and important role in this shift. In fact, there has been a continuous expansion of the role of industry in advocating stronger and broader intellectual property rights in the life sciences (Dutfield 2003). Industry's lobbying activity had a leading role in both the Diamond v. Chakrabarty trial and the passage of the TRIPS agreement (the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) in 1986.…”
