This study analyzed Staphylococcus aureus strains from Indian pyoderma cases. Most strains belonged to mixed phage groups or phage group III, aiding in infection epidemiology.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Epidemiology
  • Bacteriology

Background:

  • Staphylococcus aureus is a significant cause of pyoderma in India.
  • Bacterial phage typing is crucial for understanding infection spread and epidemiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To phage group and phage type Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from pyoderma patients in Gorakhpur, India.
  • To identify prevalent phage groups and types within these isolates.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of 202 Staphylococcus aureus strains from pyoderma cases.
  • Phage grouping and phage typing of the isolated bacterial strains.

Main Results:

  • 43.1% of Staphylococcus aureus strains were untypable.

  • The most common phage group was the mixed phage group (23.8%), followed by phage group III (12.4%).
  • Predominant phage types identified were 84/81/85 in the mixed group and 84/85 in phage group III.

    • Conclusions:

    • Phage typing revealed specific prevalent groups and types of Staphylococcus aureus in Indian pyoderma cases.
    • A significant proportion of strains were untypable, highlighting potential challenges or unique characteristics in this population.
    • The findings contribute valuable epidemiological data for Staphylococcus aureus infections in India.
