چکیده

background and aims: staphylococcus aureus is one of the important pathogens around the world. the present investigation was carried out to study the distribution of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (sccmec) types and antibiotic resistance properties in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolated from isfahan hospitals. materials and methods: a total of 250 clinical specimens were collected from three major isfahan hospitals. the samples were cultured, and biofilm producer isolates were subjected to several polymerase chain reaction methods. the patterns of antibiotic resistance were studied using the disk diffusion method. results: in the present study, 110 out of 250 samples (44%) were found to be positive for staphylococcus aureus, and all the isolates produced the biofilm in different levels. the most commonly infected samples were collected from wounds (44.5%). the incidence of meca, tetk, erma, ermc, tetm, aaca-d, lina, msra, vata, vatc and vatb antibiotic resistance genes were 93.6%, 34.84%, 28.20%, 29.30%, 21.87%, 18.71%, 9.48%, 8.65%, 7.18%, 4.43% and 3.71%, respectively.  the distribution of sccmec iii (42) was found to be the most type out of 103 mec positive strains. conclusions: in the prsent study, the highest resistance belonged to methicillin (90.2%), erythromycin (89.7%), ciprofloxacin (89.5%) and penicillin (88%) and the lowest resistance was reported for vancomycin (10%) and nitrofurantoin (8%). these infections with these strains require more advanced hospital care with an emerging demand for the novel antibiotics.

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec and Panton-Valentine leukocidin characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones.

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene carriage were compared among suspected community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA (CA-MRSA) and health care-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) isolates. CA-MRSA isolates carried the SCCmec type IV complex, and most were PVL positive. The HA-MRSA isolates carried the SCCmec type II ...

Typing of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec encoding methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates in Ahvaz, Iran

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major nosocomial pathogen. We sought to determine the frequency of the different types of SCCmec in MRSA isolates by performing a cross-sectional study. A total of 72 S. aureus isolates were collected from Imam Khomeini and Golestan hospitals and analysed for MRSA and SCCmec typing by multiplex PCR. The pattern of antibiotic resistance amo...

Recombinations in Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Elements Compromise the Molecular Detection of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Clinical laboratories are increasingly using molecular tests for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screening. However, primers have to be targeted to a variable chromosomal region, the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). We initially screened 726 MRSA isolates from a single UK hospital trust by recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), a novel, isothermal alterna...

Novel mobile variants of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec in Staphylococcus aureus.

Staphylococcus aureus staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type IV (SSCmec IV) is associated with virulent community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and frequent horizontal transfer among staphylococci. To gain insight into the mechanism of transfer, we studied the ccrA/B type 2 recombinase-mediated excision of SCCmec IV (n = 5 strains) and SCCmec II (n = 2). In SC...
