Molecular typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: can PCR replace pulsed-field gel electrophoresis?
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is considered the "gold standard" for molecular typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, the method is time-consuming and expensive, and its discriminatory power may not be necessary in outbreak situations. We used a rapid multiplex PCR-based method with published primers and compared the results with those obtained by PFGE. ...
متن کاملTyping of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Using DNA Fingerprints by Pulsed-field Gel Electrophoresis
BACKGROUND Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for a wide spectrum of nosocomial and community associated infections worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyze MRSA strains from the general population in Canton Sarajevo, B&H. METHODS Our investigation including either phenotypic and genotypic markers such as antimicrobial resistance, pulsed-field gel electro...
متن کاملMolecular Typing of Acinetobacter Baumannii Clinical Strains in Tehran by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis
Background & Objective : Currently, Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen insofar as its hospital outbreaks have been described from various geographical areas. Since the discrimination of strains within a species is important for delineating nosocomial outbreaks, this study was conducted with the aim of genotyping the A. baumannii clinical strains in Tehran via the pulsed...
متن کاملEpidemiologic genotyping of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
Staphylococcus aureus has long been recognized as one of the leading cause of hospital infections all over the world. Increased frequency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospitalized patients and possibility of vancomycin resistance requires rapid and reliable characterization of isolates and control of MRSA spread in hospitals. Typing of isolates helps to understand pa...
متن کاملDetection anD typing methoDs of methicillin-resistant StaphylococcuS aureuS strains
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 ...
