lüll Distribution of genes encoding resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramins among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from burn patients Khoshnood S; Shahi F; Jomehzadeh N; Montazeri EA; Saki M; Mortazavi SM; Maghsoumi-Norouzabad LActa Microbiol Immunol Hung 2019[Sep]; 66 (3): 387-398The increasing resistance to macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B agents among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a worldwide problem for the health community. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of ermA, ermB, ermC, and msrA in MRSA strains isolated from burn patients in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. A total of 76 isolates of S. aureus were collected from January to May 2017 from Taleghani Burn Hospital in Ahvaz. Among 76 S. aureus strains collected, 60 (78.9%) isolates were MRSA. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing for MRSA showed extreme high resistance rate to clarithromycin (100%) and azithromycin (100%), followed by erythromycin (98.3%). The PCR assay revealed that the frequency rates of msrA, ermA, and ermC genes were 23 (38.3%), 28 (46.7%), and 22 (36.7%), respectively. In addition, none of the MRSA isolates had the ermB gene. Because of the high prevalence of macrolide and lincosamide resistance found in MRSA isolates from infections of burn patients in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran, it is recommended that local periodic survey be performed for controlling the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance.|*Drug Resistance, Bacterial[MESH]|Anti-Bacterial Agents/*pharmacology[MESH]|Burns/*complications[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Iran/epidemiology[MESH]|Lincosamides/*pharmacology[MESH]|Macrolides/*pharmacology[MESH]|Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus/*drug effects/isolation & purification[MESH]|Microbial Sensitivity Tests[MESH]|Polymerase Chain Reaction[MESH]|Prevalence[MESH]|Staphylococcal Skin Infections/epidemiology/*microbiology[MESH]|Streptogramin B/*pharmacology[MESH] |
