[Typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with a specific type of resistance].
Methycillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the important causative agent of intrahospital infections (IHI) which could have epidemic character. Typization of strains is necessary for control of these infections. Fifty eight strains of MRSA with specific resistance to antibacterial agents have been isolated from patients at different clinics of our hospital. The determination of resistotype, biotype and plasmid profiles of these and control strains of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) was aimed at confirmation whether identical strains were in questions. Biotypization showed no difference between the studied and control strains while determination of the plasmid profile proved the presence of an epidemic strain which caused infection in several clinics of our hospital.
