“…In Germany predominant spa type detected was S30, in Japan S10 and in Paraguay it was S5. 10,18,19 The spa types from carriers (S4 and S9) were different from predominant spa type from the patients (S7) in this study.…”

This study was carried out to determine the types of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by two typing systems, Coagulase typing and spa typing and to identify relationship between types of MRSA strains isolated from patients and hospital staff carriers. A total of 40 MRSA strains, 33 from cases of wound infection and 7 from anterior nares of hospital staffs were investigated. Coagulase typing showed that all the MRSA strains isolated from patients were coagulase type VI and all the strains isolated from carriers were coagulase type VII. In spa typing, seven spa types were detected such as S4, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10 and S11. Predominant spa type in patients was S7 detected in 15 (45.45%) MRSA isolates, followed by S4 in 8 (24.24%) strains and S6 in 5 (15.15%) strains. Other spa types detected in patients in small numbers were S8 (3.03%), S9 (3.03%), S10 (6.06%) and S11 (3.03%). While in strains of MRSA isolated from carriers, only two types S4 and S9 were detected. Both the spa types identified from carriers were also detected in a total of 9 (27.2%) of MRSA strains isolated from patients.

“…Previous reports have described the predominance of the Brazilian clone (ST239-SCCmec IIIA, renamed the South American clone) in hospitals in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina (27); however, recent studies have shown the replacement of this clone by the Cordobes/Chilean clone (ST5-SCCmec I), which has predominantly been isolated in Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay (20,26). In this study, MRSA strains from South American countries largely clustered within the Cordobes/Chilean clone, being detected in four countries and prevailing in three of them.…”

“…En nuestro país, varios investigadores han reportado datos de sensibilidad y resistencia de este germen de muestras invasivas con niveles de resistencias que van hasta cercanas al (4)(5)(6) 30% o 50% aunque la mayor parte de los aislamientos se refieren a los Staphylococcus aureus sin una diferencia clara de cepas adquiridas en la (16)(17)(18) comunidad o en el ámbito hospitalario .…”
