Abstract EN
The study aimed to find an association between Type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, obesity and the rate of nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (NCSA) producer of TSST-1 in patients with T2DM compared with non-diabetic control groups.
T2DM patients and control subjects were selected from outpatient of "The Specialist Center for Diseases of Endocrine and Diabetes" in Baghdad.
The subjects were divided into 4 groups : Group I included 21 obese T2DM patients; Group II included 20 lean T2DM patients; Group III included 20 obese as control group and Group IV included 21 lean as control group.
The study included sample with size (n = 82), male and female, with the ages ranged from 35 to 75 years, and the patients were not on any kind of anti-diabetic treatment.
A total number of the nasal carriage S.
aureus isolates were 38, of them 23 S.
aureus (56.1 %) were isolated from the groups of patients with T2DM and 15 Aureus isolates (38.46 %) were isolated from the control groups.
Molecular method was used to detect the presence of tstH gene in S.
aureus isolates indicating that the presence of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1.
The results revealed the presence of this gene in 12 (63.16%) S.
aureus isolates collected from T2DM patients and 7 (36.84 %) isolates collected from control groups
