Detection of MRSE and resistance in staphylococcus epidermidis isolates / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

objective To detect MRSE and resistance in staphylococcus epidermidis isolates. Methods MRSE isolates were detected by cefoxitin disk test and susceptibilities were tested by agar dilution method. Results 79.7% of 128 isolates were MRSE strains with resistance to most antimicrobial agents, but those isolates were still susceptible to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Resistant rate in MRSE was higher than that in MSSE to most antimicrobial agents except penicillins, glycopeptides and macrolides. Conclusion MRSE with multi-resistance ale highly prevalent in staphylococcus epidermidis isolates and no isolate is resistant to glycopeptides.
