Comparison of culture media for detecting methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative staphylococci.
The detection of methicillin resistance was examined in 51 strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 135 strains of coagulase negative staphylococci using Isosensitest, Diagnostic Sensitivity Test (DST), Mueller-Hinton (MH), Columbia, and Sensitest agars. MH agar with 5% added sodium chloride incubated at 35 degrees C was the most effective in detecting resistance in S aureus, and Columbia agar with...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci from conjunctivas of preoperative patients.
To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of carriers of conjunctival methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCNS) among preoperative patients at an eye clinic, bacterial growth was studied in 978 conjunctival specimens of 628 preoperative patients without signs of ocular infection. Specimens were evaluated for growth ...
متن کاملFrequency of Antiseptic Resistance Among Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Isolated From a University Hospital in Central Iran.
OBJECTIVES Reduced biocide susceptibility in Staphylococci is associated with various antiseptic resistance genes encoding efflux systems. Our aim was to determine the susceptibility to three disinfectant agents, including benzalkonium chloride (BAC), benzethonium chloride (BZT), and chlorhexidine digluconate (CHDG) among clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphyl...
متن کاملDifferentiationo Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci using Cefoxitin
Detection of the mecA gene or PBP2a is considered the gold standard for detecting mecA-mediated methicillin resistance in staphylococci. Among available phenotypic methods, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has introduced the cefoxitin disk diffusion (DD) test for predicting the presence of mecA in S. aureus and CoNS, which is preferred over the oxacillin DD test. Automated...
متن کاملEmergence of high-level vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and fifty-six S. aureus isolates from the Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran, Iran, were evaluated for methicillin and decreased vancomycin susceptibility by the microbroth dilution method. The mecA, vanAand vanB genes were targeted by ...
