staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen that causes different community- and hospital-acquired infections. over time, strains of s. aureus have become resistant to different antibiotics including penicillinase-resistant penicillins. having data on the local antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of this pathogen is necessary for selection of appropriate antibiotics for empirical treat...

background chronic rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory-infectious disease involved paranasal sinuses as a common site of microbial pathogens and infections in patients suffering from the disease. the disease is labeled chronic when it lasts for more than 12 weeks. objectives as these infections constitute an important cause of morbidity it can be a strong life-threatening factor, in this investig...

conclusions the relative higher frequency of some virulence genes in this study may reflect the emergence of isolates containing these genes in shiraz medical centers. background staphylococcus aureus is amongst major human pathogens both in hospitals and the community. this bacterium is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a large number of self-limiting and even life-threatening diseases...

background staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of infections among humans and animals and it is known as a community-acquired and nosocomial pathogen. most of the isolates contain lysogenic phages which are responsible for production of various virulence factors such as enterotoxins, staphylokinase, β-lysin, lipase, exfoliative toxin a and pantone-vlaentine leukociden (pvl). all staphylococ...

background and objectives: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. detection of mrsa in laboratories is very important for treatment and appropriate infection control. the aim of this study was to evaluate cefoxitin disk diffusion method for detection of mrsa and comparison of this method with other conventional method...

background & objectives:  methicillin resistance staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is one of the most important pathogens that causes several nosocomial and community infections. adhesion to surfaces and biofilm formation is considered main step in staphylococcal infection. the aims of this study were to determine presence oficaabcd genes and relation to the biofilm formation in of mrsa isolates...

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 and methods: methicillin resistance...

the prevalence of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) and methicillin sensitivestaphylococcus aureus (mssa) carriage among poultry and poultry farmers in malaysia is largely unknown.in the current investigation, chickens and chicken farmers from 30 chicken farms were screened for mrsaand s. aureus carriage. the genetic characteristics of the isolates were determined through multi...

surgical wound infections are usually encountered due to the endogenous rather than the exogenousinfective sources. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a distant inoculated infective source on the contamination of surgical wounds. thirty white new zealand rabbits divided randomly into three control and three treatment equal groups. in treatment groups 24 hrs before surgica...

Staphylococci are Gram-positive bacteria which play an important role in infectious disease and are major causes of communityacquired and hospital-acquired infections. Strains of Staphylococcus aureus are reported as genomically and phenotypically highly heterogeneous; hence in-silico based comparison of genomic data on simple sequence repeats may provide valuable information for understanding ...
