PCR-based ribotyping of Staphylococcus aureus.
Genotyping techniques are valuable tools for the epidemiologic study of Staphylococcus aureus infections in the hospital setting. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is the current method of choice for S. aureus strain typing. However, the method is laborious and requires expensive equipment. In the present study, we evaluated the natural polymorphism of the genomic 16S-23S rRNA region for ...
متن کاملPcr-ribotyping of Bovine and Human Methicillin- Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
The present study aimed at the assessment of genetic relatedness among the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates of bovine and human origin. A set of twenty-four MRSA isolates obtained from cattle (11), buffaloes (10) and their handlers (3) were subjected to PCR-ribotyping using primers specific for 16S-23S ribosomal spacer region. Polymorphism was observed with 23 ribotyp...
متن کاملIdentification of the classical enterotoxin genes of Staphylococcus aureus in various foods by multiplex PCR assay
Background: An annual update of information about the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) genes is required in every geographic area. Aims: This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of the bacterium and type of associated enterotoxin genes in different food samples, using multiplex polymerase ...
متن کاملDetection Of Methicillin Resistance In Staphylococcus Aureus By Disk Diffusion And PCR Methods
Background and Objective: Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is an increasingly important clinical problem. A chromosomal gene, mecA, mediates resistance to penicillinase-resistant penicillins such as methicillin and oxacillin in Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated the validity of disk diffusion test by using oxacillin, methicillin an...
متن کاملRAPD-PCR and Drug Resistance Pattern of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Recovered from Companion and Wild Birds
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is a highly versatile pathogen of a large number of domestic ani- mals, including avian species. There is limited information about S. aureus isolated from companion and wild birds in Iran. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine drug resistance and random-amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-P...
