Abstract

Background & Objectives: STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS is one of the most important nosocomial infection agent and now methicillin-resistant S. aureus have spread. Also, panton-valentin leukocidin is one of important virulence factors in S. aureus. The study was aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistant, frequency methicillin resistant and panton- valentin leukocidin genes in clinical S. aureus isolates from hospitals of Rasht, Iran.Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 250 clinical samples collected from hospitals of Rasht during one year (2013-2014). The S. aureus isolates were identified by microbiological methods. Antibiotic sensitivity was performed by CSLI method using disk diffusion method. In addition, the presence of methicillin resistant (mecA) and panton-valentin leukocidin (pvl) genes were evaluated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results: Totally, 50 S. aureus isolates were recovered. The results of antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that 34 out of 50 S. aureus isolates (68%) were resistant to methicillin. In addition, the prevalence of mecA and PVL GENE among isolates were 60% (30 isolates) and 20% (10 isolates), respectively.Conclusion: This study showed increased resistance to different antibiotics in S. aureus that is a serious warning to the treatment of infections caused by this bacterium in the region.
