Molecular typing of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Nigeria.
BACKGROUND Antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) are a major concern in densely populated urban areas. Initial studies of S. aureus in Nigeria indicated existence of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus strains in clinical and community settings. METHODS 73 biological samples (40 throat, 23 nasal, 10 wound) were collected from patients and healthc...
متن کاملThe Spread of Beta Lactam Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis Strains in Hospital
Bachground and objectives: Hospital surfaces can serve as reservoirs of potential pathogen bacteria. Staff hands are the most important source of transmission in hospital. The prevalence of β–lactamase producer bacteria in staff hands and hospital surfaces, increase antibiotic resistance nosocomial infection. The aim of this study was to survey the spread of beta-lactam resistance St...
متن کاملAntibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Staphylococcus Aureus in Abakaliki, Nigeria
Objective: To investigate the sensitivity pattern of Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from clinical specimens including urine, wound, high vaginal swab and semen to commonly used antibiotics. Methodology: The susceptibility patterns of these isolates were determined using the disc diffusion and agar well diffusion methods. Results: Out of 174 samples, 51 (29.2%) yielded S. aureus with th...
متن کاملPrevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from an Orthopaedic Hospital in Nigeria
Patients with surgical wounds have been reported to be at high risk of MRSA carriage and infection. The prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of this organism in the orthopaedic ward of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria-Nigeria, a 547-bed Nigerian hospital, were thus studied. A total of 185 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were confirmed from 217 samples taken fro...
متن کامل[Multilocus sequence typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus].
OBJECTIVE To analyze multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains in 2000 and 2005, and get a primary knowledge of MLST Characterization of MRSA. METHODS Sequence analysis was conducted on seven allelic genes of 29 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and 2 methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains and the alle...
