Molecular epidemiology of staphylococcus aureus isolated from the patients, personnel and hospital environments in Sanandaj (Iran)

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from the patients, personnel and environments of a hospital in Sanandaj. During this study, 30 MRSA isolates were collected and analyzed with using spa typing method. Out of the 30 S. aureus isolates, 28 (93.33%) was methicillin resistant (MRSA),16spastypesp(t030,t711,t002,t1556,5t325,t267,t1358,t230,t2422,t969,t1814,t037,t300,t044,t180,andat5598)9wereefounduin differentewardsrof thethospital.aTheTmostofrequentewereet0300(17.27%),%t7117(13.73%).%OUrOdataademonstratedtthaththetoverall, resistancescto erythromycin, igentamycin, iandaciprofloxacin, iwereemostofrequente (87.5,.81.25,2anda62.52respectively).y).
