As the large scale of the present pig industry and the wide range of related usa ge of animal products and food groups, the discovery of Methicillin-Resistantst Stap hylococcus aureus, MRSA, sparked widespread concern to the swine industry a-nd i ts products over all circles. So far, the proportion of human and animal infections caused by MRSA shows an increasing trend, and MRSA often causes outbreaks an-d prevalence of infections,which of great influence. mecA gene is MRSA’s specifi-c resistance gene, and femA functional gene is cofactor to MRSA’s drug resistanc e, both of which play very important role in the drug resistance. Therefore, this tes-t uses mecA and femA gene for dictation, and the positive result was diagnosed a-s MRSA. In this. paper, the Staphyloco-ccus aureus isolated from pigs collected fro m 120 samples from farms of Sichuan was amplified by PCR. Carrying drug resist ance testing and SCCmec typing to iden-tified pig origin MRSA.The main results of this test are as follows:1.The separation and purification of Staphylococcus aureus:collected 120 porti-on of nasal swabs, stool samples from 12 large-scale pig farms in the Sichuan reg-ion, from March 2013 to December 2013.Inoculation to serum agar, cultured in 37 ℃ for 18h.Picked up goldenã€tartrazine or grain, regular edge and the surface smoo-th round colonies. After gram stain and microscopic examination, inoculation to yo-lk mannitol high salt agar medium. After cultured at 35℃ for 24 to 48h, identifie-d the golden yellow single colony circled with yellow "fried egg" shaped halo on t-he yolk mannitol high salt agar medium, and inoculated to 3ml M-H broth with N-aCl of 2%-4%, on a rotary shaker for purified culture at 35℃ for 6-8h. A total 6 0 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated.2.Drug sensitivity test of the 22 stains of MRSA:Using the K-B disc diffuse-on recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) to do drug sensitivity test of MRSA. Using Staphylococcus aureu ATCC25923 as qualitycont-rol strains to test the drug resistance of 22 strains of isolated MRSA to four kin-ds of β-lactam drug and seven kinds of non-β-lactam drug. Drug sensitivity test r-esults showed that the separation of the MRSA strains also had different resistance among β-lactam drugs and non-β-lactam drugs, mainly was 4,5,6-resistant.The resis -tance rate of the 22 stains of MRSA to penicillin, cephalexin, cefoxitin, cefoperazo-ne were 100%;and they were sensitive to vancomycin and tetracycline;the resistanc-e rates against ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and sulfas-exazole were respectively 4.5%,4.5%,22.7% and 18.2%.SCCmec genotyping result-s said, SCCmec â…£ a type of resistance rates about non-β-lactams were 0%, while the five SCCmec I type strains of non-β-lactam drug resistance was relatively hig-h.The results of the sensitivity test showed that the 22 strains of MRSA isolated i-n the test was obviously of multi-drug resistance.3.The PCR identification and SCCmec typing of MRSA:Apply PCR identific-ation to mecA and femA gene for further verification to Staphylococcus aureus, th-e gene test positive were judged MRSA.PCR for the SCCmec genotyping to isolat-ed MRSA. The result shows the detection of 22 strains of MRSA and the detectio n-n rate 18.3%(22/120).The result showed that the predominant type of swine MRS A is SCCmecIVa, in which 17 strains of SCCmecâ…£aã€5 strains of SCCmec I. In t-he 22 strains of MRSA,5 strains of the 5 and 6-resistant antibiogram type belonge d to the type of SCCmec I,and the 4-resistant antibiogram type belonged to the typ e of SCCmecIVa. |
