Resumen
TOMATIS, Carla et al. Non reported spa types in our country in Staphylococcus aureus from adult patients of a school hospital, Santa Fe- Argentina. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.3, pp.244-248. ISSN 0325-7541. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2017.09.001.
Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen associated a different kind of infection. Molecular markers are useful tools to study microbial epidemiology. Twenty two methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and 23 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) were studied by mecA gene, SCCmec cassette, Panton Valentine leucocidin (PVL) and spa polymorphism. The clinical data patients were analyzed. MSSA was prevalent in samples different from skin and soft tissue (SST) and in hospitalized patients, whereas MRSA in SST. SCCmec type IV was predominant, followed spa; by type I. Low presence of PVL was found. In MRSA 11 different types of spa were detected, SCCmec; t019 was the most frequent and associated with outpatient, 17 types were found in MSSA and Panton Valentine t189 was prevalent. spa t002 was present in MSSA and MRSA. We found 11 types of spa not leucocidin reported in our country.
