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...

Abstract. Suwito W, Nugroho WS, Wahyuni AETH, Sumiarto B. 2021. Antimicrobial resistance in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from subclinical mastitis Ettawa Crossbred goat (PE) Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3418-3422. Subclinical (SCM) Goat is most frequently caused by with a significant reduction milk yield. The aim of this study to determine antimicrobial patterns (CoNS) ...

A simple, sensitive, rapid, cheap and reliable UV spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of cefoxitin in powder for injection dosage form has been developed. The UV-spectrum has scanned between 200 nm and 400 nm, and 231 nm is selected as maximum wavelength for absorption. This method obeys Beer’s law in the range of 10 – 50 μg/mL with correlation coefficient of 0.999. The...

When disks containing cefuroxime (CXM) or HR 756 (756) were placed next to cefoxitin (FOX) on plates inoculated with Enterobacter resistant to FOX, there was marked flattening of the zones of inhibition produced by CXM or 756, but colonies growing near the CXM or 756 disks were found to be fully susceptible to these drugs on retesting. In contrast, when a checkerboard titration with CXM or 756 ...

The study evaluated cefoxitin disk diffusion tests breakpoints and their correlation to mecA gene PCR results for detecting Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus intermedius Group (MRSP) isolates from dogs in Brazil. Agreement using proposed breakpoint (resistant ≤ 30 mm) was encouraging. The current study reinforces that an epidemiological breakpoint can be established to predict presence of MRSP.

  BackgroundandObjectives:RapidandaccuratedetectionofmethicillinresistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important role of clinical microbiology laboratories to avoid treatment failure. The aim of this study was to compare conventional methods against the E-test minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method to determine the best phenotypic method. Materials a...
