چکیده

staphylococcus aureus is generally regarded as a leading cause of mastitis in dairy cattle. the aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of agr groups and any possible relationship between agr groups and antibiotic resistance among s. aureus strains isolated from bovine mastitis in northeast of iran. for this purpose, a total of 300 bovine mastitic milk samples were taken from dairy industry farms of khorasan razavi province, iran. s. aureus were isolated and identified according to the standard methods. antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted by disk diffusion method. in this study a total of 31 isolates of s. aureus were evaluated for agrd gene polymorphism by specific primers. most of the isolates belonged to agr group i (54.8%), followed by agr group iii (25.8%) and agr group ii (19.4%). there was not any isolates belonging to group iv. resistance to methicillin in agr group i isolates was more than other groups. agr groups ii and iii were quite susceptible to methicillin. due to high prevalent of s. aureus isolates and high antibiotic resistance rate in bovine mastitic isolates, it is important to verify the characteristics of s. aureus strains in iran.

Antibiotic resistance and typing of agr locus in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical samples in Sanandaj, Western Iran

Objective(s): Infections by Staphylococcus aureus remain an important health problem. The aims were to detect mecA, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), accessory gene regulator (agr), and integrons in S. aureus and to investigate the relationship of agr types with antibiotic resistance of isolates.  Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 70 S. aureus isolates w...

Antibiotic Susceptibility and Plasmid Profiles of Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Bovine Subclinical Mastitis in Tabriz, Iran

ABSTRACT        Background and Objectives: Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a widely distributed disease in cattle, goats and sheep. The infection is often subclinical in cattle, leading to reduced milk production and quality, but acute catarrhal or even gangrenous inflammation may also occur. The aim of this study was to investigate resistance of S. au...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern and Frequency of mecA Gene in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Shohada Hospital, Tabriz

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can cause serious and life-threatening hospital- and community-acquired infections. Colonized and infected patients represent the most important reservoir of MRSA in health care facilities. Therefore, in this study, MRSA isolates collected from Shohada Hospital in Tabriz were evaluated for the frequency of mecA gene and their anti...

Survey of accessory gene regulator (agr) groups and TSST-1 encoding gene (tst) in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from ewes with mastitis in the northwest of Iran

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 ...
