Comparison of Acidometric Method And Clover Leaf Method For The Detection of Beta Lactamase In Staphylococcus aureus
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is also known as "golden staph" and Oro staphira, it is facultative anaerobic Gram-positive cocci. It is frequently found as part of the normal skin flora on the skin and nasal passages. S. aureus is the most common species of Staphylococcus to cause Staph infections. Total 105 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were identified from various samples. Organisms were identified by various tests like Catalase, Slide and Tube Coagulase, Mannitol fermentation tests, Phosphatase test, and DNase test. MRSA and MSSA test were also done. In this study total 105 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were processed. The incidence of Staphylococcal infections was more in males (62%) as compared to females (38%). Out of 105 samples, 93 (88.5%) were MSSA whereas 12 (11.5%) were MRSA. The need to properly detect beta lactamase production in clinical isolates becomes apparent after the first reports of the emergence of beta lactamase production in pathogenic bacteria.
