ABSTRACT

Objective:

we investigated previous literatures for documentation of the trend in Sokoto, Nigeria and found none. We deemed it fit to determine the frequency of linezolid resistance mediated by cfr gene among MRSA isolates from Sokoto State-owned hospitals.

Methods:

Bacterial species identification was carried out with Microgen™ Staph-ID System kit (Microgen, Surrey, UK). Disc agar diffusion method (Modified Kirby-Bauer's) following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI 2018) guidelines was used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The results were interpreted and managed using WHONET 5.6 software (WHO, Switzerland). Oxacillin resistant screening agar base (ORSAB) culture was used to determine phenotypic methicillin resistance. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out to determine the presence of cfr-gene.

Results:

A total of 81 S. aureus isolates were phenotypically identified. Of this number, 46.91% (38/81) were MRSA; Healthcare workers (39.5%), Outpatient (28.9%), In patient (21%), Security men and Cleaners (5.3% each). Importantly linezolid resistance rate among the MRSA isolates was 44.7%. Analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility profile also showed a multiple antibiotics resistance burden of MDR (5.9%), possible XDR (47.1%), XDR (41.1%) and PDR (5.9%) amongst LR-MRSA. About 52.9% (9/17) of LR-MRSA harbored the cfr gene.

Conclusions:

This is the first report to document cfr gene in LR-MRSA strains in Sokoto. The cfr gene was found among the studied LR-MRSA strains and if cfr-mediated linezolid resistance is not properly checked, its phenotypic expression may result in an outbreak of multiple antibiotic resistant strains.
RESUMO

Objetivo:

avaliar a incidência de resistência linezolida cfr-mediada entre os isolados de MRSA dos hospitais do Estado de Sokoto.

Métodos:

A identificação das espécies bacterianas foi realizada com Microgen™ Staph-ID System kit (Microgen, Surrey, UK). Método de difusão em ágar de disco (Kirby-Bauer modificado) seguindo as diretrizes do Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI 2018). O resultado foi interpretado e gerido com WHONET 5.6 (OMS, Suíça) software. A cultura ORSAB (Oxacillin resistant screening agar) foi utilizada para determinar a resistência fenotípica à meticilina. A PCR foi realizada para determinar a presença de cfr-gene.

Resultados:

um total de 81 isolados de S. aureus foi identificada fenotipicamente. Desse número, 46,91% (38/81) eram de MRSA; Profissionais de saúde (39,5%), Ambulatoriais (28,9%), Em paciente (21%), Homens de segurança e Limpadores (5,3% cada). A taxa de resistência linezolida entre os isolados de MRSA foi de 44,7%. A análise do perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana também mostrou uma carga de resistência a antibióticos múltiplos de MDR (5,9%), possível XDR (47,1%), XDR (41,1%) e PDR (5,9%) entre LR-MRSA. Um total de, 52,9% (9/17) da LR-MRSA abrigava o gene cfr.

Conclusões:

Este é o primeiro relatório a documentar o cfr-gen nas estirpes LR-MRSA em Sokoto. O gene cfr está presente entre as cepas estudadas de LR-MRSA, e se a resistência cfr-mediated linezolida não for adequadamente verificada, sua expressão fenotípica pode resultar em um surto de múltiplas cepas resistentes a antibióticos.
