Abstract AR
تم جمع العينات من 117 شخص راقدين في المستشفيات المحلية، 33 مصاب بحروق و 84 شخص مصاب بجروح.
استخدمت ثلاث طرق Cefoxitin disk diffusion، EPI-M Screening Kit و Crome agar (MeReSa agar) مع الملحق الخاص بالوسط، للتحري عن بكتريا المكورات العنقودية المقاومة للمثسلين (MRSA) و قورنت هذه الطرق بالاعتماد على نتائج استخدام كل طريقة.
لقد وجد أن نتائج طريقة Cefoxitin disk diffusion و الزرع على وسط Crome agar كانتا متطابقتين، بينما النتائج الحاصلة من استخدام EPI-M Screening kit لم تكن دقيقة و أعطت لقسم منها نتائج سلبية خاطئة.
Abstract EN
Specimens have been collected from one hundred and seventeen patients residing in local hospitals, 33 with burns and 84 wound injuries, Three different methods, Cefoxitin disk diffusion, EPI-M Screening Kit and Crome agar (MeReSa agar)with selective supplement were used to detect methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) .
A comparison was made between these 3 methods according to the results.
It was found that the results of the Cefoxitin disk diffusion test were compatible with the results of culturing on Crome agar, while those obtained from the EPI-M Screening kit were not accurate and some of them gave false negative results.
