Comparison of the Results of Polymerase Chain Reaction and Oxacillin Agar Dilution Methods in Determining Resistance to Methicillin in Isolated Staphylococcus Aureus at Alzahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2012
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an important infectious bacterium. The pathogenicity of this bacterium is critical in both society and hospital. It is a human normal flora that exists in the upper respiratory tract of 25% of healthy individuals.

Identification of a carbohydrate-based endothelial ligand for a lymphocyte homing receptor. [PDF]

, 1991
Lymphocyte attachment to high endothelial venules within lymph nodes is mediated by the peripheral lymph node homing receptor (pnHR), originally defined on mouse lymphocytes by the MEL-14 mAb.

Evaluation of MRSA chrome agar for the detection of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus

IMC Journal of Medical Science, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of MRSA Chrome agar to detect methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and compare it with 1µg oxacillin disc diffusion tests and detection of mecA gene by PCR.

Distribution of mecA gene amongst Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Southwestern Nigeria

African Journal of Biomedical Research, 2013
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important pathogen in human infections and is implicated in a wide variety of infections, from mild skin infections to more serious and invasive infections. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the major causes of nosocomial infection in hospital setting.

Identification and detection of methicillin resistance in Non-Epidermidis coagulase-negative staphylococci

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
The NCCLS (2004) presented a new methodology to detect, by disk-diffusion agar, oxacillin-resistance using a cefoxitin disk. We identified coagulase-negative staphylococci (SCoN) to the species level and compared the use of cefoxitin disks (30 µg) with ...

Vancomycin-induced deletion of the methicillin resistance gene mecA in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: To elucidate factors that contribute to the development of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods: Forty-nine MRSA isolates were subjected to passage selection with vancomycin to isolate mutants ...

In vitro mecA gene transfer among Staphylococcus aureus in Malaysian clinical isolates

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2011
A simple experiment was performed to observe in vitro transfer of mecA gene from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , Malaysian clinical isolates, to methicillin-sensitive one. PCR-based method was used in combination with the selective antibiotic screening method to study the transfer of resistance among clinical isolates carrying ...

The Prevalence of Resistance to Methicillin in Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Patients by PCR Method for Detec-tion of mecA and nuc Genes.

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2014
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the main cause of hospital infection emerged over the last decades. Rapid detection of MRSA is important for patient care and proper usage of infection control.
