Distribution of virulence genes among colonising and invasive isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Detection of icaABCD Genes and Biofilm Formation in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

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...

Biofilm Formation and Detection of IcaAB Genes in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Objective(s) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of nosocomial and community infections. Biofilm formation, mediated by a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) and encoded by the ica operon, is considered to be an important virulence factor in both S. epidermidis and S. aureus. However, the clinical impact of the ica locus and PIA production is less w...

The Genes and Mutations of Meticillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

The purpose of this project is to study the evolution of the bacteria, meticillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We will study and evaluate a few of the genes and mutations of MRSA that enable it to be resistant to many antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. Visual and image processing will be used to create data charts, graphs and plots to better conceive the results of the research. I...
