“…However, the MRSA isolates were predominantly associated with infections (57.3%), since all isolates were from clinicalsamples as also observed in other studies elsewhere (27). Nevertheless, the prevalence of MRSA was higher in this study than that Taiwoet al (18) A major problem in the treatment of S.…”

“…The incidence of MRSA among the S. aureus isolates at University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria in 1989 was generally put at 17% (Alli and Rotilu, unpublished results). Recent survey of MRSA at a teaching hospital in Ilorin, Nigeria put the incidence of MRSA at 34.7% (Taiwo et al, 2005).…”

Chromosomal DNA from 19 strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which included 13 strains from different geographical locations in England and 6 strains from St George's Hospital (SGH), London, with MRSA NCTC 119040 and Oxford S. aureus were digested with the restriction endonucleases, HindIII and HaeIII. Southern blot hybridisation was carried out on the DNA digests transferred onto membrane using radioactive probe prepared from 16S and 23S rRNA from Escherichia coli. The pattern of bands which depended on restriction fragment length polymorphisms was used as a measure of minor genomic variation within the MRSA strains. Phage typing, biotyping, antibiogram, and plasmid profile analysis were also carried out on all the strains for comparison. Four and five different patterns were obtained for HindIII and HaeIII, respectively for representative isolates from different geographical locations in England for that year. Three different patterns were identified among the MRSA strains from SGH, London, using HaeIII. None of the epidemiological markers used in this study gave results that correlated with each other. Ribosomal DNA polymorphisms have proved to be a very useful technique for studying the epidemiology of MRSA in hospitals when used along with other epidemiological markers.

Staphylococcus aureus toxins represent a public health challenge all over the world. This study aims to analyze the prevalence of genes encoding the staphylococcal leukocidins and their correlation with antimicrobial susceptibility and the source of isolation. For this purpose, the susceptibility of 75 S. aureus isolates to 12 antimicrobial agents was investigated. The leukocidins genes (lukD, lukE, lukF and lukS) were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The ability to express these genes was assessed among 20 isolates by RT-PCR. The most prevalent luk genes were lukF gene (73.3%), followed by lukE (64%), lukD (44%) and lukS (34.7%). Expression of lukD, lukE and lukS genes were variable. lukF gene was not expressed by any of the tested isolates. A statistically significant association was found between lukF occurrence and burn isolates. Besides that, lukF gene was more prevalent among amoxicillin-clavulenic acid and amikacin resistant isolates, while lukE was predominant with gentamicin resistant isolates. High expression level of lukD was found in MRSA and MDR isolates.
