The nares as a CA-MRSA reservoir in the healthy elderly
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2015 :INTRODUCTION:The frequency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has increased in the community. This study evaluated the prevalence of MRSA and community-acquired (CA)-MRSA in 120 healthy elderly.METHODS:The MRSA were evaluated for the ...

Journal of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, 2020 Background & objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections. The polysaccharide adhesion mechanism encoded by the ica operon generates a direct role in biofilm formation and infection of

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2014 An understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that drive Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation may lead to the development of an effective strategy to control the increasing number of refractory clinical infections it causes. The present study examined the effects of the antimicrobial agent human β‑defensin 3 (hBD‑3) and the antibiotics vancomycin ...

IcaA Gene in Environmental Isolates of Biofilm Producing Staphylococcus aureus
Malaysian Journal of Medical ResearchBackground: Biofilm-forming (BF) Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are a major environmental and health concern due to their role in antibiotic resistance and chronic infections. The presence of biofilm-associated genes, such as the IcaA gene, plays a significant role in biofilm formation and increases its virulence in the environment.

Biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus isolates from a dental clinic in Konya, Turkey
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017 The ability of Staphylococcus aureus to form biofilm is considered to be a major virulence factor influencing its survival and persistence in both the environment and the host. Biofilm formation in S.

Folia Medica Indonesiana, 2018 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global health concern. One of the factors causing hospital infection is related to the ability of MRSA bacteria to form biofilms. Polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA), encoded by ica gene, have an important role in S. aureus intracellular accumulation and aggregation.
