[Antibiotic resistance and plasmids analysis in Staphylococcus aureus].

L L Chang, C P Chen, H W Chyr

    Summary

    Clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains show high resistance to heavy metals like arsenic and cadmium, alongside concerning antibiotic multi-resistance patterns. Specific phage types correlate with resistance to multiple antibiotics, linked to distinct plasmid profiles.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • Investigates clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains from Kaohsiung Medical College.
    • Assesses antimicrobial susceptibility and plasmid profiles of bacterial isolates.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the prevalence of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance in clinical S. aureus.
    • To correlate phage types and plasmid DNA with specific resistance mechanisms.

    Summary:

    • High resistance rates observed for methicillin (33.9%) and gentamicin (9.7%).
    • Extremely high resistance to heavy metals: arsenic (95%) and cadmium (76%).
    • Frequent multi-resistance patterns identified, including resistance to nalidixic acid, tetracycline, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, and streptomycin.

    Impact:

    • Identifies specific phage types (e.g., type 52) associated with multi-drug resistance.
    • Links specific plasmid sizes (e.g., 2.8-30 x 10^6 Da) to resistance determinants for various antibiotics.
    • Reveals common DNA fragments among plasmids with similar resistance phenotypes, suggesting shared genetic elements.
