Abstract

The distributions of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) are divers geographically with different genetic backgrounds. Data related to molecular characteristics of MSSA compare to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is sparse. In this cross-sectional study, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, virulence genes analysis, biofilm formation, accessory gene regulator (agr) typing, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) characterized on 75 MSSA isolates. Multidrug-resistance MSSA was found to be 84%. Forty-eight (64%) isolates were toxinogenic with 34 and 14 isolates carrying pvl and tst representing 45.3% and 18.7%. The most common SE genes were sed (20%), sec (16%), and sea (16%). Fifty-five (73.3%) isolates were confirmed as biofilm producer with a markedly high prevalence of fnbA (93.3%), fnbB (86.7%), icaA (65.3%), icaD (53.3%), can (24%), ebp (10.7%), and bap (1.3%). A total of 3 agr types (I, 73.3%; III, 16%; II, 10.7%) and 4 clonal complexes (CCs) and sequence types (STs), namely CC8/ST293 (45.3%), CC/ST22 (28%), CC/ST30 (16%), and CC/ST5 (10.7%) were detected in this study. All the high and low-level mupirocin resistance strains belonged to ST239 and ST22 strains, respectively. All the fusidic...Continue Reading
