Abstract
Espécies de Staphylococcus spp resistentes a antimicrobianos representam um problema cosmopolita, sendo o controle de sua disseminação um importante desafio. O perfil de resistência a antimicrobianos de isolados de Staphylococcus aureus e Staphylococcus intermedius em amostras clínicas humanas e animais foi avaliado através do método de difusão em disco, no qual foi possível detectar um elevado nível de resistência à ampicilina e à penicilina. A avaliação da resistência à oxacilina, devido à heterogeneidade de resposta do gênero estudado, foi desenvolvida também através das seguintes técnicas: difusão em ágar modificado, ágar screen e microdiluição em caldo, e posteriormente correlacionada com a detecção do gene mecA, pela técnica de PCR, nas amostras consideradas resistentes em pelo menos um dos testes utilizados. A correlação entre os resultados obtidos nos testes fenotípicos com a presença do gene de resistência, considerado um método de referência, foi utilizada para validar a sensibilidade destes. De um total de 80 amostras avaliadas, 28 apresentaram resistência à oxacilina, sendo possível detectar a presença do gene de resistência mecA em 12 destas amostras. Os testes de suscetibilidade à oxacilina apresentaram sensibilidade superior a 50,0%, sendo a difusão em disco simples e o ágar screen considerados mais sensíveis, e a difusão em disco modificada, o de menor sensibilidade.
Antimicrobial resistant Staphylococcus species represent an important cosmopolitan problem, and its spreading control is a significative challenge. Resistance pattern of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus intermedius species isolated from animals and humans clinical samples to different antibiotics was evaluated through disk diffusion method, where ampicillin and penicillin presented the highest level of resistance. The evaluation of the resistance to oxacillin, due to the heterogeneity of the response of the studied genus was carried out through the following tests: modified agar diffusion, agar screen and microdilution, and further correlation with the detection of mecA gene in samples that showed resistance in at least one of the susceptibility tests used. The correlation between the results obtained from phenotypic methods and the detection of resistance gene, considered as a reference method, was used in order to validate its sensitivity. Eighty clinical staphylococcal isolates (29 human and 51 animal isolates) were evaluated, 28 were oxacillin-resistant, mecA gene being detected in 12 samples. Susceptibility assessment tests to oxacillin presented above 50% of specificity, disk diffusion and agar screen being the most sensitive one, while modified disk diffusion presented the lowest sensibility rate. Ampicillin and penicillin presented the highest level of resistance.
