Detection of Staphylococcus aureus’s Strain Similarity on Surgical Ward Nurses’s Hand and Nose and Post Operative Wound Infection Using Coa Gene Through PCR-RFLP Method
Abstract:Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) remains to be the most important cause of post operative wound infection. Nurses could become reservoirs to transmit S.aureus through contaminated hands transiently, or through colonized nose. Strain polymorphism could be determined by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), using coa gene and restriction endonuclease enzyme Alu1. There were 30 isolates of S.aureus's infection, and 20 isolates taken from hands and nose of the nurses in charge. From 50 isolate positive … Show more
