头孢西丁纸片法检测mecA基因介导的MRS

目的评价应用头孢西丁纸片扩散法检测mecA基因介导的耐甲氧西林葡萄球菌(MRS)。方法分别用头孢西丁纸片法扩散法、苯唑西林纸片扩散法、苯唑西林琼脂稀释法、VITEK微生物自动分析系统及聚合酶链反应(PCR)mecA基因检测4种方法对MRS进行检测比较,最低抑菌浓度(MIC)测定应用VITEK微生物自动分析系统GPS卡。结果96株葡萄球菌属(金黄色葡萄球菌16株、凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌80株)中苯唑西林纸片法扩散法、苯唑西林琼脂稀释法、VITEK微生物自动分析系统3种方法检出MRS菌株54株(金黄色葡萄球菌2株、凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌52株),而PCR法检出mecA基因48株(金黄色葡萄球菌2株、凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌46株),头孢西丁纸片法扩散法与PCR法一致。结论头孢西丁纸片扩散法与mecA基因检测法高度一致,是筛选和确认mecA基因介导的MRS一种可靠的方法。

Detection of Meticillin-resistant Staphylococci Mediated by mecA Gene Using Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Method

OBJECTIVE To evaluate application of cefoxitin disk diffusion method in detecting meticillin-resistant staphylococci(MRS)mediated by mecA gene.METHODS The cefoxitin disk diffusion method,oxacillin disk(diffusion) method,oxacillin agar dilution test,VITEK automicroscan as well as PCR amplification were performed and compared simultaneously for detection of MRS,and VITEK automicroscan was used in testing MIC.(RESULTS)(Among) 96 strains of Staphylococcus(16 S.aureus and 80 coagulase-negative staphylococci strains),54 strains of MRS(2 S.aureus and 52 coagulase-negative staphylococci strains) were identified by oxacillin disk(diffusion) method,oxacillin agar dilution test and VITEK automicroscan,48 mecA-genes were identified by PCR amplification(2 S.aureus and 46 coagulase-negative staphylococci strains) which was the same as by cefoxitin disk diffusion method.CONCLUSIONS The(cefoxitin) disk diffusion method is highly consistent with mecA gene method,and a reliable one of screening and(identifying) MRS mediated by mecA gene.
