Antibiogram Sensitivity Pattern of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Pus Samples

Prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus skin and nasal carriage isolates from bovines and its antibiogram

AIM This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in cattle and buffalo and to study their antibiotic resistance pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 136 samples (skin and nasal swab) from cattle and buffalo were collected. MRSA was identified by conventional bacterial culture techniques which were further confirmed by amplific...

Detection of icaABCD Genes in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Patients in Iran

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important pathogen that causes several nosocomial or community-acquired infections. Adhesion to surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation are the major phases of a staphylococcal infection. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of icaABCD genes in clinical isolates of MRSA. Methods: A total of 110 clinical Staphyl...

Comparison of Biofilm Formation between Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the biofilm formation and the prevalence of biofilm-associated genes between the isolates of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: In total, 209 S. aureus isolates were collected. The antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted using nine antibiotics according to the guidelines of Clinica...

“ Characterization of Methicillin - Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Community Dormitory

Screening of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (mrsa) from Sputum Samples

Staphylococcal infections are a group of infections caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus but most infections are caused by a type called Staphylococcus aureus. Bacteria are constantly evolving because their genes are constantly changing. The result of this is that some of the bacteria develop more resistance to a certain antibiotic than others. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a...
