چکیده

objective: infertility is one of the major important social issues. because of the asymptomatic cervical infection, it has caused the problem to remain silent in the majority of patients without diagnosis and treatment. the present study was intended to assess the frequency of staphylococcus aureus isolated from infertile women's endocervix in northwest iran. materials and methods: in a descriptive cross sectional study random specimens were collected during vagina examination by use of a sterile speculum and swabbing, were characterized by standard microbiological analysis. after determination of susceptibility against important antibiotics, polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was used to identify methicillin resistance gene (meca) and toxic shock syndrome toxin (tst)gene. results: twenty six (26%) and 9 (9%) women’s urogenital tracts were colonized by s. aureus and candida spp., respectively, of which three (11.5%) patients were infected with fungi and s. aureus, simultaneously. antibiotic susceptibility results showed high activity of vancomycin and co-trimoxazole on isolates. regarding pcr results, meca sequences were detected in 7 (26.9%) strains, whilst the tst gene encoding tsst-1 was not detected in any of clinical strains. conclusion: the prevalence of s. aureus was very high in infertile women. therefore, it demands that the all the patients attending in infertility treatment centers be investigated thoroughly.

Accessory gene regulator (agr locus) is a global regulator of many virulence gene expressions inStaphylococcus aureus. Four interference classes related to genetic polymorphisms in the agr locus have sofar been described. In the present study, the agr locus specificity groups were studied within a total of 43 S.aureus isolates which were isolated from ewes with mastitis in three regions in the ...
