Abstract AR

يعد التهابات المجاري البولية (UTI) التي تسببها المكورات العنقودية المقاومة للميثيسيلين أهم مشكلة متنامية بالنسبة للعديد من المؤسسات الصحية و خصوصا عندما ترتبط مع قدرة هذه العزلات على إنتاج الأغشية الحياتية على السطوح الحية و غير الحية.

تم دراسة مدى انتشار المكورات العنقودية من الأشخاص المصابين بالالتهاب المجاري البولية إذ وجد أن S.

epidermidis أبدت أعلى معدل انتشار من S.

aureus, و أن 55.5 % (بواقع عشرة عزلات من أصل ثمانية عشر عزلة) و 26.6% (بواقع ثمان عزلات من أصل ثلاثون عزلة) كانت مكورات عنقودية ذهبية مقاومة للميثيسيلين MRSA و مكورات عنقودية بشروية مقاومة للميثيسيلين MRSE على التوالي.

من جانب آخر فقد أظهرت دراسة إنتاج الأغشية الحياتية أن عزلات MRSE كانت أكثر كفاءة من نضيرتها MRSA.

Abstract EN

Urinary tract infections (UTI) caused by methicillin resistant staphylococci are a growing problem for many health care institutions especially when it correlates with biofilms formation of these isolates on living and nonliving surfaces.

The prevalence of staphylococci from UTI were studied and it was found that S.epidermidis are higher prevalence than S.aureus 55.5 % ( 10 out of 18) and 26.6 % ( 8 out of 30) were methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates (MRSA) and methicillin resistant staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE), respectively.

Biofilm formation on microtiter plates revealed that MRSE isolates was more efficient in biofilm production than its counterpart MRSA.Urinary tract infections (UTI) caused by methicillin resistant staphylococci are a growing problem for many health care institutions especially when it correlates with biofilms formation of these isolates on living and nonliving surfaces.
