Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To identify the pop strain of Staphylococcus aureus hospital acquired infection by random amplification of polymorphic DNA(RAPD),and to study the molecular mechanism of antibiotic(resistance),so as to reduce the occurrence of drug resistance and infection acquired in hospital.METHODS 1.DNA from 21 strains of S.aureus were extracted by the phenol-chloroform method and analyzed by using arbitrary(primer) polymerase chain reaction(AP-PCR).2.Amplifying mecA,GyrA and GrlA by PCR,and testing the(variation) of these genes by using Hinf Ⅰ-digested analysis.RESULTS Twenty one S.aureus strains were divided into 3(genetic) types.Type Ⅰ is the pop strain in our hospital which including 12 strains.Fourteen from 17 clinical stains were resistant to meticillin and quinolones,of which 13 strains had mecA except isolate 13064.And they all had(variation) in(GyrA) and/or GrlA.CONCLUSIONS RAPD provides markers for the typing of clinical strains and is suitable for(molecular) epidemiologic studies with high type ability,powerful discrimination,simplicity and(rapidness). Type Ⅰ is the pop S.aureus strain in hospital-acquired infection of our hospital.The majority of these strains are multi-(resistant) to meticillin,quinolones and other antibiotics.
