conclusions prevalence of icaadbc genes was relatively high among children and also all the four ica genes were detected among mrsa strains. results five isolates (22.7%) were methicillin resistant (mrsa) and meca gene was detected among them. all the mrsa isolates harbored sccmec type iii. prevalence of icaa, icab, icac and icad in the isolates were 16 (73%), 14 (63.6%), 16 (73%) and 16 (73%),...

introduction: in this study, using the phenotypic and genotypic methods, oxacillin susceptibility in staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) strains isolated from patients at two government hospitals in ilam, iran was tested. materials and methods: out of 200 s. aureus isolates from different human clinical specimens consisting of blood (31%), wound (20%), urine (21%), catheters (7%), sputum (12%), o...

Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus ATCC 25923 is commonly used as a control strain for susceptibility testing to antibiotics and as a quality control strain for commercial products. We present the completed genome sequence for the strain, consisting of the chromosome and a 27.5-kb plasmid.

BACKGROUND The burden of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a major public health concern worldwide; however the overall epidemiology of multidrug resistant strains is neither coordinated nor harmonized, particularly in developing countries including Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the burden of methicillin resistant Staphylococcos aureus and its ant...

background and objectives: staphylococcus aureus is an important agent in hospital and community-associated infections, causing high morbidity and mortality. introduction of the new antimicrobial classes for this pathogen has been usually followed by the emergence of resistant strains through multiple mechanisms. for instance, resistance to clindamycin (cli) can be constitutive or inducible. in...

background staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen in hospital setting and in the community and causes a wide range of diseases. mrsa infection has recently become a serious problem in anti-microbial chemotherapy. the aim of the study was to detect and analyze the antibiotic diversity and isolation of methicillin resistance gene (meca) of s. aureus isolated from tehran hospitals as a rapid an...
