چکیده
background coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) are opportunistic pathogens. methicillin resistance is common in cons and may play an important role as reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (sccmec) for staphylococcus aureus. objectives the aim of this study was to determine molecular characteristics of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci among students. materials and methods mr-cons from both nares of students were collected. resistance to methicillin was determined by cefoxitin (30μg) disk diffusion test. sccmec typing was performed using multiplex pcr by mec complex classes and ccr genes. antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were determined on mueller-hinton agar according to clsi. results a total of 600 consecutive students were enrolled in this study; 430 of whom (71.7%) had cons. seventy-two mr-cons strains, 21 (29.2%) s. lugdunensis, 17 (23.6%) s. haemolyticus, 17 (23.6%) s. saprophyticus, 9 (12.5%) s. epidermidis and 8 (11.1%) s. schleiferi were isolated. mr-cons rate in nasal carriage was 16.7%. all strains were susceptible to vancomycin. forty-eight (66.7%) had a single sccmec type including types i (n = 5), ii (n = 4), iii (n = 7), iv (n = 19) and v (n = 13), whereas 5 (6.9%) had two types including iii + iv (n = 2), iii + v (n = 1) and iv + v (n = 2). nineteen strains (26.4%) were non-typeable for their sccmec and ccr. types iv and v sccmec were associated with s. lugdunensis and s. haemolyticus, respectively. conclusions sccmec types iv and v were prevalent in mr-cons and few isolates could harbor more than one type.

Molecular Characteristics of Nasal Carriage Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci in School Students
BACKGROUND Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are opportunistic pathogens. Methicillin resistance is common in CoNS and may play an important role as reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) for Staphylococcus aureus. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine molecular characteristics of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci ...
متن کاملIsolation of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci from chickens.
Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated from the nares and skin of 1- to 8-week-old healthy chickens in three flocks from a farm. Isolation of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci was positive for 72 (25.7%) of the 280 chickens tested, with the frequency varying from 2.2 to 100% according to flock. A total of 45 appropriate isolates were selected a...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of coagulase-negative staphylococci in healthy dogs and to determine whether methicillin-resistant staphylococci expressed the mecA gene. Nasal and rectal swab samples were taken from 50 clinically healthy dogs. The prevalence of coagulase-negative staphylococci was evaluated according to phenotypic properties. The agar diffusion method...
متن کاملCephalosporin susceptibility of methicillin-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci were tested for susceptibility to methicillin, cephradine, ceftriaxone, cephalothin, and cefamandole by standard broth microdilution. Most of the 26 methicillin-resistant isolates were susceptible to cephalothin and cefamandole, but very few were susceptible to ceftriaxone, and none was susceptible to cephradine. The proportion of bacterial cells that grew in th...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci isolated from horses.
A methicillin-resistant (MR) Staphylococcus epidermidis strain was isolated from a saddle horse affected by osteolysis. MR coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) were isolated from 11 of 14 (78.8%) horses housed in the same riding club. By typing of the SCCmec region, almost the strains displayed a non typeable (NT) pattern and possessed the ccr type 2. Altogether, the high prevalence of MRCN...
