Evaluation of Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Test for Routine Detection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background and Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Detection of MRSA in laboratories is very important for treatment and appropriate infection control. The aim of this study was to evaluate cefoxitin disk diffusi...
متن کاملSusceptibility of clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococci isolates to new antibiotics.
BACKGROUND The treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal infections has been a growing problem both in and out of hospitals for the past 30 years. Therefore, there is a need for other antibiotics as an alternative to glycopeptides in the treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal infections. This study investigated the in vitro susceptibility of 49 methicillin-resistant Staphyloc...
متن کاملModified DNA Extraction for Rapid PCR Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci
Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. The aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. The presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphy...

متن کاملمقایسه روش تعیین حساسیت دیسک دیفیوژن و واکنش زنجیره ای پلیمراز برای شناسایی استافیلوکوکوس مقاوم به متی سیلین
Background: Staphylococci as a micro-organism, has the most importance to cause nosocomial infections, particularly in patients with indwelling catheters or other medical devices. Unfortunately 90% of Staphylococci isolated from the nosocomial infections are resistant to methicillin, and methicillin resistance strains are also resistant to a wide range of antimicrobial drugs, therefore detectin...
