Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and enterotoxin A producer isolated from asymptomatic nasal carriage among undergraduate students of Mexico
Abstract
The aim at this study was determine the frequency of S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant and enterotoxin A production in nostrils of university students in Mexico. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 471 university students from a city in southwestern Mexico. Nasal samples and sociodemographic data were obtained from the patients. Strains were identified as S. aureus based on morphology, Gram stain, catalase test, coagulase test and fermentation on salted mannitol agar. Isolated strains were subjected to biotyping, their methicillin resistance was analyzed using the agar diffusion method and examined their enterotoxin A (SEA) production by a Dot-blot analysis. The nasal carriage rate of S. aureus was 10.40%; 73.46% of the isolates were resistant to methicillin; 36.73% of the strains produced enterotoxin A. In the bivariate analysis, a statistically significant difference was found in patients who lived near sewage and farms with S. aureus carriage (p=0.012, odds ratio 2.59, [ 1.06-5.81]; p=0.009, odds ratio 3.18, [1.07- 8.33]) and the first group also associated with methicillin resistant S. aureus carriage (p=0.020, odds ratio 3.38, [1.30-8.06]). Nasal carriers show a wide variety of strains of S. aureus, mostly MRSA strains, but not all produce enterotoxin A.References
