Prevalence of Vancomycin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in nosocomial infections. Vancomycin is the most important therapeutic drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Therefore, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) or vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains are warning...
متن کاملMupirocin Resistance in Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Mupirocin is the topical antimicrobial agent which is used for the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However the prevalence of mupirocin resistance in MRSA has increased with the extensive and widespread use of this agent in hospital settings. The present study was attempted to evaluate the low level and high level resistance to mupirocin in MRSA isolates by diffe...

متن کاملPhenotypic Changes of Oxacillin Resistance in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains by Successive Passaging
Background and purpose: Rotational use of antibiotics can decrease antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains. The present study aimed to evaluate the alteration of oxacillin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain carrying SCCmec III cassette in long-term evolutionary experiments in an antibiotic-free medium. Materials and methods: In a cross-sectio...
متن کاملMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Etiology Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive, coagulase positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains are resistant to methicillin and essentially all other beta-lactam antibiotics. MRSA isolates are genetically heterogeneous. 1 Some strains, which are called epidemic strains; are more prevalent and can spread within or between hospitals an...
