ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of multidrug resistance(MDR) mechanisms of Staphylococcus haemolyticus against oxacillin,gentamycin and erythromycin.METHODS Agar dilution method was performed to detect the minimal inhibition concentration(MIC) of 3 antimicrobial agents against 63 strains of S.haemolyticus,and the resistance genes of mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″),ermA,ermB,ermC and msrA/msrB were investigated by PCR in all clinical isolates.RESULTS mecA Gene was detected in 62 isolates of meticillin-resistant S.haemolyticus(MRSH),and aac(6′)+aph(2″) gene was found in 50 isolates resistant to gentamicin,and the most prevalence erythromycin resistance gene in S.haemolyticus was msrA/msrB(58.7%),followed by ermC(31.7%).Among the 43 MDR strains,the more commonly encountered three genes were mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″) and msrA/msrB(58.1%)or ermC(20.9%),and 8 isolates(18.6%) were found harboring four genes of mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″),ermC and msrA/msrB.CONCLUSIONS The mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″),msrA/msrB and ermC genes are main resistance mechanisms against oxacillin,gentamicin and erythromycin in mutidrug resistant S.haemolyticus.
