Evaluation of Different Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods for Detection of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been emerged as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen worldwide. There are many challenges for laboratory detection of MRSA. The aim of this study was to compare different phenotypic methods with PCR based method as a gold standard for detection of mecA gene. <b...
متن کاملVancomycin and oxacillin synergy for methicillin-resistant staphylococci.
An increase in oxacillin activity was observed against methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the presence of a sub-MIC of vancomycin. Vancomycin and oxacillin were synergistic against 14 of 21 strains of MRCNS and MRSA. A pattern of enhanced killing was also supported by time-kill studies. These results suggest t...
متن کاملStuding the frequency of methicillin-resistant staphylococci by phenotypic and molecular methods among patients in some hospitals of Rasht
Aim and Background: Meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become one of the major public-health concerns in recent years due to resistance to antimicrobial drugs and agents. This Study aims to diagnose of MRSA isolates by molecular and phenotypic methods and to detect of the antibiotic resistance pattern in MRSA strains in clinical patient samples in Rasht. Material and Methods...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic Characteristics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Dairy and Meat Products in Iran
Background: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) plays an important role in gastrointestinal diseases. The goal of this research was to determine phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of MRSA isolated from dairy and meat products in Iran. Methods: Ninety-three S. aureus isolates were prepared which had been obtained in our previous study. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing w...
متن کاملGenotypic and phenotypic characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from milk of bovine mastitis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among a (S. aureus) collection (n = 430) isolated from milk of cows suffering from mastitis in Belgium and to compare their genotypic as well as phenotypic characteristics. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and PCR-based typing techniques (MLST, spa, SCCmec, and agr typing) have been a...
