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...
متن کاملDifferentiationo Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci using Cefoxitin
Detection of the mecA gene or PBP2a is considered the gold standard for detecting mecA-mediated methicillin resistance in staphylococci. Among available phenotypic methods, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has introduced the cefoxitin disk diffusion (DD) test for predicting the presence of mecA in S. aureus and CoNS, which is preferred over the oxacillin DD test. Automated...
متن کاملmolecular typing of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus isolates from shiraz teaching hospitals by pcr-rflp of coagulase gene.
background and objectives: to investigate coagulase gene polymorphisms of mrsa and mssa isolates from shiraz teaching hospitals from 2011 to 2012. materials and methods: a total of 302 isolates of staphylococcus aureus were collected from clinical specimens in three major teaching hospitals and confirmed on the basis of morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. the isolates were subj...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase Gene Polymorphism in Egypt
The current study aimed to use Coagulase gene polymorphism to identify methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) subtypes isolated from nasal carriers in Minia governorate, Egypt, evaluate the efficiency of these methods in discriminating variable strains, and compare these subtypes with antibiotypes. A total of 400 specimens were collected from nasal carriers in Minia governorate, Egy...
متن کاملMethicillin-Susceptible, Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Brazil.
We report characterization of a methicillin-susceptible, vancomycin-resistant bloodstream isolate of Staphylococcus aureus recovered from a patient in Brazil. Emergence of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus would indicate that this resistance trait might be poised to disseminate more rapidly among S. aureus and represents a major public health threat.
