Investigation of antibiotic resistance of S. Aureus and Enerococcus spp by the determination of minimal inhibiting concentration and by molecular methods
Abstract
The aim of this doctoral thesis was the investigation of antibiotic resistance of S. aureus and Enterococcus spp. clinical strains. Initially, we have studied resistance to various antibiotics by the use of classic microbiological methods and more precisely, by the determination of minimal inhibiting concentration (MIC). Additionally, for the detection of mecA gene, mediating resistance of S. aureus to β-lactams and van genes, mediating resistance of Enterococcus spp. to glycopeptides, we have applied two molecular techniques: a multiplex PCR and a commercial method combining PCR and reverse hybridization (GenoType MRSA, HAIN- Lifescience). We have studied antibiotic resistance of S. aureus and Enterococcus spp strains which were isolated from cultures of various clinical specimens of patients admitted to Ioannina University Hospital during the period 2000-2008. A total number of 2771 S. aureus and 2317 Enterococcus spp strains were examined. For the identification and susceptibility t ...
