Quantitative antibiogram typing using inhibition zone diameters compared with ribotyping for epidemiological typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Antibiogram typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with selected antibiotics was evaluated as a primary epidemiological typing tool and compared with ribotyping. Antibiograms were derived with the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method by using erythromycin, clindamycin, cotrimoxazole, gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin. For typing, antibiogram data were analyzed by similarity analysis of ...
متن کامل[Multilocus sequence typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus].
OBJECTIVE To analyze multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains in 2000 and 2005, and get a primary knowledge of MLST Characterization of MRSA. METHODS Sequence analysis was conducted on seven allelic genes of 29 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and 2 methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains and the alle...

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens in hospital infections and its importance in the community is also prominent, especially since the 1990’s. Today methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common causes of hospital infection, causing 40-70% of staphylococcal infections in intensive care units. Data on the prevalence of MRSA isolates differ ...
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...
متن کاملMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen often carried asymptomatically on the human body. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains have acquired a gene that makes them resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics. Hospital-associated strains of this organism are serious nosocomial pathogens that have become resistant to most common antibiotics, and treatment can be challenging. Com...
