ABSENCE OF mecA GENE IN METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATES
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a serious threat to public health, causing both hospital and community-associated infections. The gold standard for MRSA detection is the amplification of the mecA gene that codes for the production of the altered penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) responsible for classical methicillin resistance. This work determined the nature of meth...
متن کاملIsolation, antimicrobial susceptibility and mecA gene analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance among Staphylococcus aureus and to estimate the presence of methicillin-resistance in S. aureus (MRSA) isolates obtained by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. For this purposes, 100 Iranian white and feta cheese samples collected from different suppliers were initially evaluated for the occ...
متن کاملantibiotic susceptibility pattern among staphylococcus spp. with emphasis on detection of meca gene in methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates
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...
متن کاملEpidemiology of mecA-Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Objective(s)Staphylococcus aureus is a prevalent pathogen worldwide. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), which is usually multi-resistant in hospitals, has been a daunting challenge for clinicians for more than half a century. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the relative frequency (RF) of MRSA in different regions of Iran.Materials and MethodsSearch terms...
متن کاملComparison of Biofilm Formation between Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the biofilm formation and the prevalence of biofilm-associated genes between the isolates of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: In total, 209 S. aureus isolates were collected. The antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted using nine antibiotics according to the guidelines of Clinica...
