چکیده مقاله :
سابقه و هدف: باکتری استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس یکی از مهمترین عوامل عفونت‌زای بیمارستانی می‌باشد. اخیرا سویه‌های استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس نسبت به آنتی بیوتیک سیپروفلوکساسین مقاوم شده‌اند و پمپ افلاکس در این مقاومت نقش مهمی را ایفا می‌کند. هدف از این مطالعه، بررسی وجود ژن های پمپ افلاکس (norA و norB)، بیان و فعایت آن در سویه‌های مقاوم به سیپروفلوکساسین استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس بود .مواد و روش ها: در این مطالعه، تعداد 250 نمونه بالینی به منظور جداسازی سویه های استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس، بررسی مقاومت آنتی بیوتیکی، وجود و بیان ژن‌های پمپ افلاکس norA و norB در آنها به ترتیب توسط روش های PCR و real-time PCR مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. در انتها، پمپ افلاکس فعال در سویه‌های مقاوم به سیپروفلوکساسین استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس توسط روش اتیدیوم بروماید بررسی شد.یافته ها: از مجموع نمونه های مورد برررسی، 50 سویه استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس جداسازی شد که از این میان 12 جدایه (24%) مقاوم به سیپروفلوکساسین بودند. میزان شیوع ژن های norA و norB در سویه‌های مقاوم به سیپروفلوکساسین به ترتیب 100% و 83% بود. همچنین تمامی سویه‌های مقاوم به سیپروفلوکساسین دارای پمپ افلاکس فعال بودند. نتایج real-time PCR نشان داد که اختلاف معنی داری در میزان بیان پمپ های افلاکس در سویه‌های مقاوم به سیپروفلوکساسین وجود دارد. نتیجه گیری: نتایج این مطالعه نشان داد که پمپ‌های افلاکس norA و norB نقش مهمی در ایجاد مقاومت به سیپروفلوکساسین ایفا می‌کند.
Background & Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the important nosocomial infection agents. Recently, S. aureus strains have become resistant to ciprofloxacin and the efflux pump is considered as its contributor. Herein, we investigated the presence, expression, and activity of efflux pump genes (norA and norB) among ciprofloxacin-resistant S. aureus isolates. Materials & Methods: A total of 250 clinical samples were subjected to isolation of S. aureus strains. The antibiotic resistance pattern was characterized and the presence and expression level of norA and norB genes was assessed using PCR test and real-time PCR test, respectively. Finally, active efflux pumps were detected in ciprofloxacin-resistant S. aureus strains using the ethidium bromide test.Results: Among total clinical samples, 50 S. aureus strains were recovered. Of this 12 samples (24%) were resistant to ciprofloxacin. Moreover, norA and norB genes were found in 100 % and 83% of ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates, respectively. All ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates exhibited active efflux pumps. Real-time PCR results revealed that the isolates are more resistant to ciprofloxacin having a high level of efflux pump gene expression.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that norA and norB efflux pump genes play an important role in resistance to ciprofloxacin in S. aureus strains.
