Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of virulence in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a local hospital of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Staphylococcus aureus is a causative agent of diseases ranging from skin and soft tissue infections to several other invasive diseases such as bacteraemia, osteomyelitis, and pneumonia, as well as various non-invasive diseases due to secretion of diverse array of virulence factors. The aim of this study was to establish a correlation between antibiotic resistance, virulence traits, genotypes and infections caused by MRSA in a local hospital of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Method

For this study, 118 S. aureus isolates were obtained from the Microbiology Department of Sheth L.G General Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India during the period of March 2022 to September 2022. The isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility, phenotypic characterization of virulence
