Genetic Evaluation for the Proposed role of Staphylococcus aureus in Burn Patients

Abstract: Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherical bacterium. It is a human skin and respiratory flora which is considered as one of the most common cause of burn infections. It always finds a way to resist antibiotics due to that it had virulence and resistance genes as well as acquired of new genes from other strains which makes it more dangerous. Aims: This study aims at investigating the prevalence of genetic evaluations for Staphylococcus aureus in the burn unit. Methods: A total of 223 burn s… Show more

“…The inactivation of antibiotics by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes encoded by genetic elements is the main mechanism of resistance to aminoglycosides [32]. S. Aureus isolates resistance to cefoxitin is in agreement with some other local studies such as Abed and Hamim [33] who showed that 70% of S. aureus isolates were resistant. According to Muhammad and Al-Mathkhury [34] in Sulaimania city 68% of S. aureus isolates were resistant to cefoxitin.…”
