Abstract:

a:4:{s:9:"Objective";s:350:"Infertility is one of the major important social issues. Because of the asymptomatic cervical infection, it has caused the problem to remain silent in the majority of patients without diagnosis and treatment. The present study was intended to assess the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from infertile women's endocervix in northwest Iran.";s:19:"MaterialsAndMethods";s:395:"In a descriptive cross sectional study random specimens were collected during vagina examination by use of a sterile speculum and swabbing, were characterized by standard microbiological analysis. After determination of susceptibility against important antibiotics, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify methicillin resistance gene (mecA) and Toxic shock syndrome toxin (tst)gene.";s:7:"Results";s:459:"Twenty six (26%) and 9 (9%) women’s urogenital tracts were colonized by S. aureus and Candida spp., respectively, of which three (11.5%) patients were infected with fungi and S. aureus, simultaneously. Antibiotic susceptibility results showed high activity of vancomycin and co-trimoxazole on isolates. Regarding PCR results, mecA sequences were detected in 7 (26.9%) strains, whilst the tst gene encoding TSST-1 was not detected in any of clinical strains.";s:10:"Conclusion";s:180:"The prevalence of S. aureus was very high in infertile women. Therefore, it demands that the all the patients attending in infertility treatment centers be investigated thoroughly.";}

The Frequency of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Endocervix of Infertile Women in Northwest Iran

BACKGROUND Infertility is one of the major social issues. Due to the asymptomatic cervical infection associated with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), the majority of patients remain undiagnosed. The present study intended to assess the frequency of S. aureus isolated from infertile women's endocervix in northwest Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a descriptive cross sectional study, specimens ...

Frequency of specific agr groups and antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine mastitis in the northeast of Iran

Staphylococcus aureus is generally regarded as a leading cause of mastitis in dairy cattle. The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of agr groups and any possible relationship between agr groups and antibiotic resistance among S. aureus strains isolated from bovine mastitis in Northeast of Iran. For this purpose, a total of 300 bovine mastitic mi...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern and Frequency of mecA Gene in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Shohada Hospital, Tabriz

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can cause serious and life-threatening hospital- and community-acquired infections. Colonized and infected patients represent the most important reservoir of MRSA in health care facilities. Therefore, in this study, MRSA isolates collected from Shohada Hospital in Tabriz were evaluated for the frequency of mecA gene and their anti...

Survey of accessory gene regulator (agr) groups and TSST-1 encoding gene (tst) in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from ewes with mastitis in the northwest of Iran

Accessory gene regulator (agr locus) is a global regulator of many virulence gene expressions inStaphylococcus aureus. Four interference classes related to genetic polymorphisms in the agr locus have sofar been described. In the present study, the agr locus specificity groups were studied within a total of 43 S.aureus isolates which were isolated from ewes with mastitis in three regions in the ...
