Comparison of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from a tertiary hospital in Terengganu, Malaysia.
Staphylococcus aureus is a persistent human pathogen responsible for a variety of infections ranging from soft-tissue infections to bacteremia. The objective of this study was to determine genetic relatedness between methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains. We isolated 35 MRSA and 21 MSSA strains from sporadic cases at the main tertiary hospit...

conclusions our results illustrated the presence of clonal groups of highly gentamicin-resistant strains of mrsa in hospitals in tehran. the php typing method provided useful information for both clonal dissemination and determining the epidemiological links of the clonal groups of the mrsa strains. materials and methods a total of 301 s. aureus isolates were collected during january to novembe...
متن کاملCharacterization of Resistance to Aminoglycosides in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated From a Tertiary Care Hospital in Tehran, Iran
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens which can cause a broad spectrum of infections. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to describe the frequency and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of clonal groups of gentamicin-resistant strains of MRSA isolated from a tertiary care hospital in Tehran, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS A...
متن کاملprophage typing of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus isolated from a tertiary care hospital in tehran, iran
background staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of infections among humans and animals and it is known as a community-acquired and nosocomial pathogen. most of the isolates contain lysogenic phages which are responsible for production of various virulence factors such as enterotoxins, staphylokinase, β-lysin, lipase, exfoliative toxin a and pantone-vlaentine leukociden (pvl). all staphylococ...
