[Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in patients with cystic fibrosis].
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of chronic colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with cystic fibrosis, describe antibiotic sensitivity of the strains, and compare the patients' clinical characteristics with those of patients infected with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with chronic S. aureus colonization w...
متن کاملEmergence and spread of worldwide Staphylococcus aureus clones among cystic fibrosis patients
Background The aim of this study was to assess the relatedness of molecular types of Staphylococcus aureus isolates colonizing cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with their antimicrobial resistance and prevalence of toxin genes. Methods A total of 215 isolates from the airways of 107 patients with CF were tested for spa and SCCmec type, antimicrobial resistance and carriage of toxin genes. Resul...
متن کاملDynamic in vivo mutations within the ica operon during persistence of Staphylococcus aureus in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with chronic bacterial airway infections leading to lung insufficiency and decreased life expectancy. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent pathogens isolated from the airways of CF patients. Mucoid colony morphology has been described for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most common pathogen in CF, but not for S. aureus. From the airways of 8 of 313 C...
متن کاملEditorials Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus in cystic fibrosis
A number of treatments for cystic fibrosis have evolved over the past four decades, based on the experience of cli-nicians involved in the care of these patients. Some of these treatments were developed without the benefit of large randomised controlled trials which would have been diY-cult to perform at the time. The value of prophylactic antibiotic treatment against Staphylococcus aureus in t...
متن کاملIsolation of Staphylococcus aureus from sputum in cystic fibrosis.
The success in the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus of different methods of sputum processing was investigated in 60 specimens collected from 14 patients with cystic fibrosis during a seven-month period. Fifty specimens (83%) from 11 patients yielded Staph. aureus by one or more methods. Direct plating of purulent portions of sputum on to media designed for general use in respiratory infectio...
