Abstract

Background and Objectives: STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS is one of the effective factors causing nosocomial infections. This study was performed to investigate the antibiotic resistance pattern in the methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis strains isolated from clinical samples in ISFAHAN Province.Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 150 isolates of S. epidermidis were isolated from detected from the patients hospitalized in hospitals and treatment centers of ISFAHAN City. The antibiotic resistance pattern was evaluated by disk diffusion method. The presence of the gene encoding antibiotic resistance to methicillin (mec A) in the isolates were investigated using PCR method. Data were analyzed with Chi-square and Fisher's exact statistical tests.Results: In this study, most isolates were related to urinary tract infections. The highest resistance was reported to penicillin (98.9%), erythromycin (89.4%), ciprofloxacin (77.7%), clindamycin (65.9%), tetracycline (63.2%), and meticillin (54%). None of the strains showed resistance to vancomycin and linezolid. Molecular studies indicated the presence of mec A gene in 76% of the studied isolates.Conclusion: According to the results of this study, vancomycin and linezolid antibiotics can be the best choice of treatment for infections caused by S. epidermidis. Also, high resistance of S. epidermidis can be a serious warning for increased multiple antibiotic resistance. Molecular studies are indicative of high sensitivity of molecular methods in the investigation of methicillin-resistant isolates.
