Abstract

Background & Aims: STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS is one of the most common pathogens in nosocomial infections. VANCOMYCIN is the most important therapeutic drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by METHICILLIN-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) strains. Therefore, VANCOMYCIN-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (VRSA) or VANCOMYCIN-intermediate STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (VISA) strains are warnings for the medical community. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of VANCOMYCIN resistance in METHICILLIN-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS isolated from the NOSE of patients hospitalized in Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran.Methods: In the present study, 85 strains of METHICILLIN-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS were isolated from patients in Imam Reza Hospital and evaluated for VANCOMYCIN resistance with microdilution test, Epsilometer test (E-test), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results: None of the strains were completely resistant to VANCOMYCIN; however, 39 strains (45.9%) were diagnosed as hetero-VRSA (hVISA) strains.Conclusion: VISA and VRSA strains were not observed in this study which is a promising finding in the treatment of clinical infections due to STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS in our society. However, in our study, the prevalence of hVISA strain was 45.9%, which is perhaps a sign of the appearance of more resistant strains (VISA and VRSA) in our country in the future.
