Clonal dissemination of mupirocin-resistant staphylococci in Greek hospitals.
OBJECTIVES To determine the rates of mupirocin resistance in staphylococci during a 4 year period (1999-2002) in Greece. MATERIALS A total of 1200 Staphylococcus aureus and 2760 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), consecutively collected from four Greek hospitals located in different geographical areas, were tested for susceptibility to mupirocin using the Etest and a reference agar dilu...
متن کاملInterpretive criteria for testing susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin.
To determine appropriate mupirocin susceptibility testing interpretive criteria, 177 staphylococci were tested by agar dilution, disk diffusion, and E test. E test was found to be a reliable method for determining susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin. The agar dilution and disk diffusion results were plotted on a scattergram, and error rates were calculated. No errors were found with su...
متن کاملEmergence of high-level mupirocin resistance in coagulase-negative staphylococci associated with increased short-term mupirocin use.
In our hospital, mupirocin has increasingly been used for peri-operative decolonization of Staphylococcus aureus. The target for mupirocin is isoleucyl tRNA synthetase (ileS). High-level resistance to mupirocin is conferred by acquisition of plasmids expressing a distinct ileS gene (ileS2). Here we evaluated the longitudinal trends in high-level mupirocin resistance in coagulase-negative staphy...
متن کاملDiversity of staphylococci exhibiting high-level resistance to mupirocin.
Plasmids mediating high-level resistance to mupirocin (MIC greater than 1000 mg/L) in staphylococci from various sources were studied by restriction endonuclease cleavage. Several patterns were obtained but six plasmids isolated from various Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis strains were indistinguishable. The diversity and spread of these plasmids is illustrated.
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...
