[Drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus strains, isolated from children with intestinal dysbacteriosis].
The level of antibiotic-sensitivity of 73 S. aureus strains isolated from children with dysbacteriosis of the large intestine in an outpatient clinic was determined. The isolation rate of polyresistant strains was 44%. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) were isolated from 25 children (34.2%). 60% of MRSA strains could not be typed with the international set of phages. Among the strains capable of being lyzed by the phages the representatives of phage groups 3 and 4 prevailed. All MRSA strains were sensitive to vancomycin, 84-88% of the strains were sensitive to chloroamphenicol, rifampicin, spiramycin and neomycin, 80% of the strains were sensitive to fusidin and phosphomycin. The level of sensitivity of methicillin-sensitive S. aureus strains (MSSA) to different groups of antistaphylococcal antibiotics was higher. 36-64% of MRSA strains and 21-27% of MSSA strains were resistant to the action of curative bacteriophages. The suppression of obligate microflora was the risk factor in the development of staphylococcal infection of the gastrointestinal tract in children.
