An electronic surveillance network for monitoring antibiotic resistance in The Netherlands has been in operation since 1989. Seven public health laboratories participate and the system covers about 25% of all bacteriological determinations in The Netherlands. This paper reports the results of staphylococci isolated in the period 1989-1995. About 0.3% of the Staphylococcus aureus isolates in the...
Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus aureus is renowned for countering almost any antibiotic challenge. Its history since the advent of penicillin is one of increasing resistance to antibiotics. Methicillin was the first semisynthetic penicillin resistant to penicillinase to be derived from the penicillin nucleus and was a major advance in the treatment of staphylococc...
Many methods have been described for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), but the heterogeneous expression of methicillin resistance affects the reliability of these methods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate some methods for detecting methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates in a university hospital located in the Northeast of Brazil. ...
Background and Objective: Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen of human in the world. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is associated with nosocomial infections. Recently, staphylococcal infections have been associated with the community. The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify Staphylococcus aureus virulence Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and methicillin...
staphylococcus aureus causes a wide variety of infections worldwide. methicillin-resistant s. aureus is one of most common causes of nosocomial and community acquired infections. the fluoroquinolones are an important class of antibiotics that used to treat infections caused by s. aureus. today, a significant increase in the rate of ciprofloxacin resistance in methicillin-resistant s. aureus str...
Strains of staphylococci resistant to methicillin were identified immediately after introduction of this drug. Methicillin-resistant strains have unusual properties, the most notable of which is extreme variability in expression of the resistance trait. The conditions associated with this heterogeneous expression of resistance are described. Methicillin resistance is associated with production ...
Eight cephalosporins were tested for their activity against methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci and for their resistance to beta-lactamase from methicillin-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci. Susceptibility testing by the agar plate method was evaluated for the effect of inoculum size and duration of incubation. Methicillin-susceptible, c...
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is the most common microorganism isolated from canine pyoderma and postoperative wound infections. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) has increased, and recently, isolates that are resistant not only to methicillin but also to other classes of antibiotic drugs, including aminoglycosides, have become common. A total of 422 S. pseudi...
Detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is a challenge, especially low-level resistance, which is often misdiagnosed. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracies of the automated Vitek 2 system and disk diffusion tests, using cefoxitin and moxalactam, for the detection of methicillin resistance in S. aureus strains. Four sets of genotypically diverse isol...
