Screening of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus during admission of patients to Frantz Fanon Hospital, Blida, Algeria
A study was performed of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from nasal preoperative samples. Of 663 samples assessed, staphylococcus was detected in 143 (21.57%). The disc diffusion method (cefoxitin 30 μg), a screening test (oxacillin 6 μg/mL) and a se...

description | A study was performed of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from nasal preoperative samples. Of 663 samples assessed, staphylococcus was detected in 143 (21.57%). The disc diffusion method (cefoxitin 30 μg), a screening test (oxacillin 6 μg/mL) and a search for Protein Binding Additional Penicillin 2 (PLP2a) allowed the detection and confirmation of resistance to methicillin for 36 strains, a rate of 5.43% of the total population studied. Eight MRSA carriers received care in the trauma service, 14 in cardiology, five in ear, nose and throat, four in neurosurgery and paediatrics, and one in SCI. Thirty-six methicillin-resistant of the nasal portage strains are in their great majority, 27 of 36, rather limited multi-R character (two to three families namely resistance: tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, macrolides). One of the MRSA strains was found to have intermediate sensitivity to vancomycin. |
