Abstract:

Objective To analyze the molecular characteristics and drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Haian Jiangsu. Methods A total of 43 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were collected in Haian from July 2011 to July 2012 and the isolates were identified by biochemical phenotypic test and plasma coagulase test. Antimicrobial susceptibility test to 12 kinds of antibiotics was performed by disk diffusion and broth dilution methods. Panton-Valentine leukocidinPVL gene was detected by polymerase chain reactionPCR), Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mecSCCmec typing was conducted according to multiplex PCR and Staphylococcus protein ASPA genotyping was performed by PCR and sequencing. Results A total of 21 isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusMRSA were detected. t030- was the major MRSA clone including 2 resistant profiles P-CX-CN-TOB-E-CC-RA and P-CX-CN-TOB-RA. Conclusions The isolation rate of MRSA is high and clone spread is the main reason of resistance prevalence.
