Virulence determinants of MRSA causing skin and soft tissue infections among HIV patients from Chennai
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background MRSA is a well armed pathogen with an array of virulence factors, which causes skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) among healthy individuals in community. Although there are few reports on MRSA causing SSTIs among HIV patients, there are no studies on their virulence determinants. Hence, the current study was done to detect the virulence determinants of MRSA causing SSTIs among HIV patients.

Clindamycin resistance among Staphylococcus aureus causing skin and ear infections from Chennai, South India
Background Antibiotic resistance in S. aureus is one of the major concerns and the rate of MRSA has dramatically increased in recent years. Clindamycin belongs to the MLS group and is used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Resistance to clindamycin may be inducible (iMLSB) or constitutive (cMLSB) and it is present both in MRSA and MSSA. Treatment failure has been reported both in iMLSB ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of virulence genes in methicillin susceptible and resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from a paediatric population in a university hospital of Medellín, Colombia.
Virulence and antibiotic resistance are significant determinants of the types of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and paediatric groups remain among the most commonly affected populations. The goal of this study was to characterise virulence genes of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from a paediatric population of a C...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility and genomic variations in Staphylococcus aureus associated with Skin and Soft Tissue Infection (SSTI) disease groups
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is associated with human skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs); however, the involvement of virulence factors in different clinical presentations is unclear. METHODS We analyzed methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) strains from Taiwan to determine correlations among the clinical characteristics of SSTIs, antimicro...
متن کاملClinical importance of purulence in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections.
BACKGROUND The so-called community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains are more frequently susceptible to non-ss-lactam antibiotics (including clindamycin) than health care-associated MRSA strains. We assessed whether predictive clinical characteristics of presumptive MRSA infections can be identified to guide choice of empiric antibiotic therapy. METHODS A c...
متن کاملDetection of fusidic acid resistance determinants among Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing skin and soft tissue infections from a tertiary care centre in Chennai, South India
Background Fusidic acid (FA)an inhibitor of protein synthesis has been used for treating superficial and some systemic infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Fusidic acid resistance in S. aureus has been reported throughout the world with prevalence ranging from 0.5% to 50% and is due to i) point mutation in bacterial fusA or fusE gene and ii) by acquired FA resistance determinants fusB, C...
