Characterization of clinical and community acquired staphylococcus aureus, local isolates
Keywords:
Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, pathogenicityAbstract
It was found that 46.6% of S. aureus were collected from nose swaps followed by ear (41.6%) and catheter tubes (11.8%). Results showed the highest resistance 100% for both classes of Aminopenicillins (Amoxicillin), cephalosporins 3Gr (Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, and Cefexime, and Carboxypencillin, as well as one group as 93.5% for class the β-lactam combination agents (Amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid). Many virulence factors and antibiotics resistance genes also being considered in this study, including erm, luk, hlg, fbl, Sea, MecA, seb, vat and tet. The highest frequency was in MecA genes 53 (88%) followed by sea genes 20 (33%), hlg and seb genes 18 (30%) for each one, erm genes 14 (23.3%) and luk genes 2 (3.3%), genes fbI, vat and tet were not detected in any isolate. Results shows no correlation concerning age, gender or the site of infection with either antimicrobial resistance or virulence factors genes.
