prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus carrying panton-valentine leukocidin gene in cutaneous infections in the city of isfahan
background: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is a major cause of nosocomial and community infections that are becoming increasingly difficult to combat, because of emerging resistance to all classes of antibiotics. moreover panton-valentine leukocidin (pvl) is an important virulence factor in s. aureus and causes white blood cell destruction, necrosis and accelerat...
متن کاملPrevalence of Vancomycin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in nosocomial infections. Vancomycin is the most important therapeutic drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Therefore, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) or vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains are warning...
متن کاملCommunity-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carrying Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Genes: Worldwide Emergence
Infections caused by community-acquired (CA)-methicillin--resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been reported worldwide. We assessed whether any common genetic markers existed among 117 CA-MRSA isolates from the United States, France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Samoa by performing polymerase chain reaction for 24 virulence factors and the methicillin-resistance deter...

Detection anD typing methoDs of methicillin-resistant StaphylococcuS aureuS strains
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens in hospital infections and its importance in the community is also prominent, especially since the 1990’s. Today methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common causes of hospital infection, causing 40-70% of staphylococcal infections in intensive care units. Data on the prevalence of MRSA isolates differ ...
