چکیده

objective(s): staphylococcus aureus is an important bacterial pathogen responsible for a variety numbers of nosocomial and community acquired infections. biofilm formation is regarded as an important factor in the establishment of s. aureus infection. the contribution of the genetic background of s. aureus to biofilm formation is poorly understood. the aim of the present work was to genotype s. aureus strains associated to biofilm based on the coagulase and protein a genes and to evaluate the association between the genetic background and the biofilm forming ability of clinical s. aureus isolates. materials and methods: a total number of 100 s. aureus were isolated from nosocomial infections and biofilm formation capability was investigated using phenotypic assay and molecular detection of biofilm associated genes. the strains were genotyped based on coagulase (coa) and protein a (spa) gene polymorphisms using restriction fragments length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (rflp-pcr). results: rflp-pcr of coa gene generated two types and three subtypes. amplification of spa gene resulted in two banding patterns and their restriction digestion generated three subtypes. the combined coa and spa rflp patterns generated nine genotypes (g1-g9). the genotypes g4 and g1 were the most prevalent (32.1% and 24.3%, respectively). conclusion: high clonal diversity of s. aureus strains able to produce biofilm was observed. biofilm formation correlates with the spa and coa clonal lineage in our population and testing for multiple gene polymorphisms could be employed for local epidemiologic purposes.

Molecular Typing of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates on the Basis of Protein A and Coagulase Gene Polymorphisms

Increased frequency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospitalized patients requires rapid and reliable characterization of isolates for control of MRSA spread in hospitals. This study evaluated polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) as a molecular typing technique for MRSA strains on the basis of protein A (spa) and coagulase (coa) ...

Detection of Classic Enterotoxin Genes and Coagulase Gene Typing of Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated from Raw Cow Milk in Isfahan

Background and Aims: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is considered as one of the most dangerous pathogenic bacteria due to the production of extracellular toxins. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of S. aureus and to characterize the recovered strains for their enterotoxin-producing genes in raw cow milk. Materials and Methods: During 9 months duration of the s...

Molecular typing of clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates from northern India using coagulase gene PCR-RFLP.

Molecular typing of total 84 Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates was performed using coagulase gene PCR. Out of 84 S. aureus strains total 33 different types of S. aureus strains were prevalent in this hospital and community. Types 2-7 and 9 were the most prevalent S. aureus strains accounting for more than 53% of total isolates. This technique is relatively inexpensive and is simple to per...
