Abstract:

Objective To analyze the drug resistance and molecular epidemiological characteristics of oxacillin-sensitive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(OS-MRSA) in Hulunbuir,Inner Mongolia. Methods Staphylococcus aureus isolated clinically from 5 medical institutions in Hulunbuir from 2015 to 2021 were collected. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA) were screened based on the results of in vitro drug susceptibility test. The mecA and mecC of MSSA were determined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and the OS-MRSA isolates were screened out. Multilocus sequence typing(MLST) and Staphylococcus protein A typing(Spa) were performed. Results The determination rate of OS-MRSA in Hulunbuir was 1.20%. The sensitivities of OS-MRSA to tigecycline,moxifloxacin,linezolid,oxacillin,cefoxitin,rifampicin and vancomycin were 100.00%,the penicillin resistance rate was 100.00%,and OS-MRSA was resistant to erythromycin,sulfamethoxazole,gentamicin,clindamycin,tetracycline,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin to varying degrees. Spa determined 10 types,and MLST determined 8 types. Conclusions No dominant type of OS-MRSA has been found in Hulunbuir,and it is sporadic overall. The conventional drug resistance phenotypic determination methods are prone to wrongly identify OS-MRSA as MSSA. The determination of mecA and mecC genes and drug resistance phenotypic determination should be combined to reduce the missed determination rate of OS-MRSA.
