Objective Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing public health concern that has been associated with pediatric fatalities. This study investigated the genotypes of staphylococcal cassette chromosomal mec (SCCmec) and Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) in MRSA strains isolated from Shanghai Children's Hospital by PCR. Methods A total of 30 strains of MRSA were isolated from various clinical specimens from October 2005 to June 2006. The antimicrobial susceptibility was measured by agar diffusion method. SCCmec typing was conducted using a novel multiplex PCR assay allowing for concomitant detection of methicillin resistance (mecA gene) to facilitate detection and classification of all currently described SCCmec typesⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳa, b, c, d andⅤ. PVL gene was also determined by PCR. Results mecA gene was positive in all the strains. SCCmecⅡ was identified in 6(20.0%) isolates, SCCmecⅢ in 15(50.0%) isolates, SCCmecⅤ in 2 and SCCmecⅣa in 1 isolate. Six MRSA strains were non-typeable. The isolates with SCCmecⅡ or SCCmecⅢ were resistant to multiple antibiotics. The strains harboring SCCmecⅣa or SCCmecⅤwere susceptible to all antibiotics except β-lactams. Eleven (36.7%) isolates were PVL positive. The genotypes and subgenotypes of staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec of eleven PVL-positive MRSA were SCCmecⅡ(1 isolates), SCCmecⅢ (5 isolates), SCCmecⅣa (1 isolate), SCCmecⅤ (2 iso-Lates) non-typeable (2 isolates). Conclusions SCCmecⅡ and SCCmecⅢ are the major genotypes of MRSA in our hospital. These isolates are multi-resistant to antibiotics. The prevalence of PVL gene is higher in SCCmecⅡ- or SCCmeⅢ-positive MRSA. The isolates with SCCmecⅡ or SCCmecⅢ were resistant to multiple antibiotics.

Objective·To analyze changes in the type distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria isolated from burn wards and to provide evidence for rational use of antibiotics, reduction of drug-resistant isolates, and hospital infection control. Methods·Isolates from burn patients were collected from January 2011 to December 2014. Statistical analysis of infection sources, type distribution, and changes in resistance rates of main pathogens during the four year period was performed. Results·A total of 2399 isolates were collected, including 1286 (53.61%) gram-negative bacilli (G-b), 1088 (45.35%) gram-positive cocci (G+c), and 25 (1.04%) fungi. The most common G-b pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (447, 34.76%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (369, 28.69%). The most common G+c pathogen and fungus were Staphylococcus aureus (489, 44.94%) and Candida albicans (8, 33.33%), respectively. In the last two years, the detection rates of S.aureus and A.baumannii were significantly lower and the detection rate of P.aeruginosa was significantly higher than those in the first two years (P<0.05). P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii showed high resistance (>80%) to the third and fourth generation cephalosporins, carbapenems, aminoglycosides and quinolones, but the changes were not statistically significant (P>0.05). S.aureus was only highly resistant to penicillin (97.58%) and was 100% susceptible to vancomycin. Its resistance rates toward cefazolin, ampicillin/sulbactam, gentamicin, levofloxacin, and rifampin decreased significantly (P<0.05). The detection rate of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) dropped from 72.28% to 63.00%. Conclusion·Many types of drug resistant bacteria were detected in burn wards. The drug resistance problem was serious. Improving management and rational use of antibiotics can reduce the occurrence of drug-resistant bacteria and increase the efficacy of clinical anti-infective treatment and nosocomial infection control.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and antibiotic susceptibility of pathogens causing urinary infection,for the guide of rational use of antimicrobial agents in clinic. METHODS The bacteria isolated from the middle segment urine sample were identified by ATB system,and K-B method was used to study the antimicrobial resistance.The data were analyzed by WHONET 5.3. RESULTS Escherichia coli was one of the most common bacteria in the urinary tract infection(57.6%),and then were Enterococcus(14.4%).The results of antibiotic susceptibility test in vitro showed the susceptibility rate of Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem,was 100.0%,but the resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 13.6%.Gram-positive cocci were sensitive to glycopeptide antibiotics and linezolid. CONCLUSIONS Clinician should pay attention to the kinds of pathogenic bacteria causing urinary tract infection and their susceptibility to clinically common used antibiotics for reasonable use of drugs.

Objective To investigate antibiotic resistance and molecular epidemiology profile of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Shanghai. Methods The antibiograms of 140 MRSA isolates from 5 hospitals for 13 drugs were analyzed by agar dilution and broth dilution. The PVL gene and SCCmec were detected by PCR; The clonal relatedness of 140 isolates were determined by PFGE and 39 strains were chosen to be characterized further by spa typing. Results All 140 MRSA are PVL negative and most of them were identified as SCCmec Ⅲ [45.7% (64/140)], followed by SCCmec Ⅲ a [25.0% (35/140)], SCCmecⅢb [14.3% (20/140)], SCCmecⅡ [10.7% (15/140)] and SCCmecⅣ [4.3% (6/140)]. All isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, teicoplanin and daptomycin. The resistance to gentamicin, sulphamethoxazole and clindamycin was 98. 6% (138/140), 98. 6% (137/140) and 97. 9% (137/140), respectively. Resistance to erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline was above 80%, and resistance to rifampicin was 10. 7% (15/140). Sixteen different PFGE patterns(A-P) were found and most of MRSA belonged to group C[30. 7% (43/140)] ,B[13.6% (19/140)]and Ⅰ [10. 7% (15/140)]. Among 39 strains with prevalent PFGE patterns, 4 spa genotypes were identified: t002133. 33% (13/39)] ,t030 [12. 82% (5/39)] ,t037[51.28% (20/39)]and t459[2. 57% (1/39)]. Conclusions Sixteen different PFGE patterns and 4 spa genotypos were found from 5 hospitals in Shanghai. The most popular MRSA clone is PVL negative, SCCmec Ⅲ, with resistant profile of erythromycin, ciprofloxacin,clindamycin,etracycline, gentamicin,and sulphamethoxazole [E-C-L-T-G-M-]. This result suggests that hospital infection control and reasonable antibiotic usage are critical.
