BackgroundIn Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin resistance is exhibited by modifications in penicillin-binding protein that minimises the binding affinity to beta-lactam antibiotics. The present study investigated the occurrence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in community-acquired infections, that is, community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) and in-hospital–acquired infections, that is, hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) from Northeast India.MethodsA total of 197 consecutive non-duplicate isolates were collected from Silchar Medical College and Hospital and other private diagnostic laboratories. The isolates were confirmed to be S. aureus at our centre. All isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing and were screened for methicillin resistance using cefoxitin disc test. All MRSA were subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay for detection of mecA and mecC genes. DNA fingerprinting was performed for determining clonal diversity.ResultsSeventy-one isolates of 127 confirmed S. aureus were found to be methicillin resistant by screening test. mecA gene was detected in 43 isolates, and none of the isolates were positive for mecC gene. Linezolid and teicoplanin showed better activity with susceptibility pattern being 83.6% and 72.44%, respectively, whereas 66.14% were sensitive to vancomycin. Other antibiotic showed low level of activity. Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) showed 14 different banding patterns that suggest isolates were of different clonal types.ConclusionmecA was responsible for methicillin resistance in majority of strains. Polyclonal spread of MRSA infection in the study area indicates its diverse origin and possible lateral transfer. Thus, this study is of clinical interest in terms of selection of proper antimicrobial chemotherapy and infection control management. 相似文献

Satoyoshi syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by alopecia, painful muscle spasms, diarrhea and secondary skeletal changes. We report a 11 year old girl presenting with the typical features of alopecia totalis, severe muscle spasm and skeletal deformities. 相似文献

Misidentification of Brucella species from clinical specimens using commercial bacterial identification systems is a recurring problem. An isolate from a bacterimic patient was identified as Bergeyella zoohelcum by MicroScan Walk-Away (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc., West Sacramento, CA, USA) and as Brucella melitensis by Vitek 2 system (bioMérieux?Inc., Durham, NC, USA). Because of this identification ambiguity by the two automated bacterial identification systems we performed 16S rRNA sequencing and serotyping of the isolate and confirmed it as a Brucella spp. Combining the sequence data with the Vitek 2 system data we conclude that the infection was caused by B. melitensis. 相似文献

Community‐acquired methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA‐MRSA) is an emerging pathogen in hospitalized patients worldwide. The present study was undertaken to identify CA‐MRSA in hospitalized patients in a 350‐bed tertiary care hospital in Sharjah, UAE over a 2‐year period from January 2011 to December 2012. CA‐MRSA was defined based on identification within first 48 h of admission in the hospital. Staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec typing of the CA‐MRSA isolates was carried out by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Detection of PVL and mecA genes was done by PCR using the GenoType® MRSA test system (Hain Lifescience). Patient's clinical data and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the CA‐MRSA isolates were also evaluated. Fifty seven of the 187 MRSA isolates were identified as CA‐MRSA. All the CA‐MRSA strains in our study belonged to SCCmecIV type and were positive for both PVL and mecA genes. The patients with CA‐MRSA infections were young (median age, 32 years) and the majority of infections involved the skin and soft tissue (36%). Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the CA‐MRSA isolates showed a better susceptibility profile to the non‐beta‐lactam antimicrobials with the exception of ciprofloxacin having 28% resistance. This study evidently strengthens the recent observation of an increase in CA‐MRSA emergence among hospitalized patients in the UAE. 相似文献

Biotinidase is a ubiquitous mammalian cell enzyme occurring in liver, serum and kidney. It cleaves biotin from biocytin, which is a cofactor for biotin dependent enzymes, namely the human carboxylases. Biotinidase deficiency is associated with a wide spectrum of neurological, dermatological, immunological and ophthalmological abnormalities. This is a case of a 3-year-old boy presenting with delayed developmental milestones, tachypnea, progressively increasing ataxia, alopecia and dermatitis, all which dramatically responded to high doses of biotin. 相似文献
