The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance profiles and staphylococcal enterotoxins/enterotoxin-likes genes (se/sel) of Staphylococcus aureus from food. About 93 S. aureus strains were screened and 43 strains harbored se/sel genes, which were from raw meat, pickles, cooked meat, egg products, bean products, aquatic products, grains and fresh vegetables, respectively. Among the 21 se/sel genes, selx gene was found in 30/93 (32.26%) strains, followed by seb, ser, sea, sec, selp, sell and set. About 50/93 strains carried 10 antibiotic resistance genes. The prevalence rate of norA, chlA and grlA genes was relatively high, followed by ermC, tetA, aac6ʹ/ aph2", ermB, tetM, msrA and blaZ. Sixty-two strains of the 93 S. aureus isolates (62/93, 66.67%) were multidrug-resistant (≥3 antimicrobial agents). Susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de Staphylococcus aureus aislada de alimentos, presencia de genes de resistencia, de genes de enterotoxinas y de genes parecidos a enterotoxinas RESUMEN El presente estudio se orientó a investigar los perfiles de resistencia a los antibióticos y los genes de enterotoxinas estafilocócicas y de aquellos parecidos a enterotoxinas (se/sel) de S. aureus aislada de alimentos. Con este objetivo se cribaron 93 cepas de S. aureus, 43 de las cuales albergaban genes se/ sel, procedentes de carne cruda, pepinillos, carne cocida, productos de huevo, productos de frijol, productos acuáticos, granos y verduras frescas. En 30 de las 93 cepas (32,26%) se encontró el gen selx entre los 21 genes se/sel y, en orden descendente, los genes seb, ser, sea, sec, selp, sell y set. Asimismo, se constató que 50 de las 93 cepas albergaban 10 genes de resistencia a los antibióticos. La tasa de prevalencia de los genes norA, chlA y grlA fue relativamente elevada siguiéndole, en orden descendente, las de los genes ermC, tetA, aac6ʹ/aph2", ermB, tetM, msrA y blaZ. De las 93 cepas de S. aureus aisladas (62/93, 66,67%) 62 son resistentes a diversos medicamentos (≥tres agentes antimicrobianos).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
