چکیده

nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. the aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. the presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci (cns) was examined by normal pcr. dna extraction for pcr performance was then modified by omission of achromopeptadiase and proteinase k digestion, phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. all isolates with mic>8 mg/ml showed positive pcr. no differences in pcr detection have been observed when normal and modified dna extractions have been performed. our modified dna extraction can quickly detect methicillin-resistant staphylococci by pcr. the advantage of rapid dna extraction extends to both reduction of time and cost of pcr performance. this modified dna extraction is suitable for different pcr detection, when staphylococci are the subject of dna analysis

Modified DNA Extraction for Rapid PCR Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci

Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. The aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. The presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphy...

Rapid detection of methicillin-resistant staphylococci by multiplex PCR.

A multiplex PCR was developed to detect the coagulase gene (coa; pathognomic of Staphylococcus aureus) and the mecA gene (characteristically encoding for methicillin resistance in staphylococci) in a single, rapid test. Suitable primers for the gene targets and an internal, amplification control were incorporated into a multiplex PCR assay, which was then optimized on a capillary air thermal cy...

Rapid extraction from and direct identification in clinical samples of methicillin-resistant staphylococci using the PCR.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) are one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections and bacteremia. Standard bacterial identification and susceptibility testing frequently require as long as 72 h to report results, and there may be difficulty in rapidly and accurately identifying methicillin resistance. The use of the PCR is a rapid and simple process for the amplification of t...

DNA extraction protocol for rapid PCR detection of pathogenic bacteria.

Twelve reagents were evaluated to develop a direct DNA extraction method suitable for PCR detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens. Many reagents exhibited strong PCR inhibition, requiring significant dilution of the extract with a corresponding reduction in sensitivity. Most reagents also exhibited much lower recovery of DNA from the gram-positive test organism (Listeria monocytogenes) than ...

A screening test for the detection of methicillin-resistant staphylococci.

A simple method is described for the detection of methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus by a disc-diffusion test on 5% NaCl agar. Information is given about the incidence of these strains in the Plymouth area.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci.

Strains of staphylococci resistant to methicillin were identified immediately after introduction of this drug. Methicillin-resistant strains have unusual properties, the most notable of which is extreme variability in expression of the resistance trait. The conditions associated with this heterogeneous expression of resistance are described. Methicillin resistance is associated with production ...
