The Prevalence of Toxin Shock Syndrome oxin ( TSST-1) Producing Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus StrainsIsolated from Shohada Hospital in Tabriz, Iran

The aim of this investigation was to survey the prevalence of TSST-1 gene in the clinical isolates of S. aureus recovered from hospitalized patients in Shohada hospital of Tabriz, Iran and results indicate that all of the isolates are sensitive to linzolid; 83% of them are resistant to meticillin.

Association of tsst-1 and pvl with mecA Genes among Clinical Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from a Tertiary Care Hospital

There was no significant association between antibiotic resistance and the presence of tsst-1 or pvl genes in clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains obtained from a tertiary care hospital, Mansoura-Egypt.

Investigation of vancomycin susceptibility and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 gene among Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from patients and ICU staff in the north of Iran

Prevalence of toxic shock syndrome toxin I producing clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from hospitals in Tabriz, Iran.

The relatively high prevalence of TSST-1 gene in clinically recovered S. aureus strains in Tabriz region of Iran and their circulation in the community can have a potentially alarming influence in the general health of community as well as in hospitalized patients.

Genomic identification of Toxic shock syndrome producing and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in human and sheep isolates

The prevalence of methicillin resistance and toxic shock syndrome producing Staphylococcus aureus isolates was significant in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and more attention for their monitoring and treatment is essential.

Investigating prevalence of pathogenic genes (ETA and TSST-1) in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from different wards of the hospitals by PCR method

Results of the present paper indicate that the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus results on prevalence of eta and tst genes, and this is a matter of concern, is amatter of concern.

Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates from Croatia.

These results indicate the emergence of ST111-MRSA-I and ST247-MRsa-I in Croatia among MRSA bloodstream isolates, and the virulence factors PVL and TSST-1 were not present among these isolates.

Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus strains in an Australian cohort, 1989–2003: evidence for the low prevalence of the toxic shock toxin and Panton–Valentine leukocidin genes

The aim was to subtype these strains using the binary genes pvl, cna, sdrE, pUB110 and pT181 to determine the prevalence of the toxic shock toxin gene (tst) and to enumerate the circulating strains of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and methamphetamine-resistant S. aureu in Australian isolates collected over two decades.

Nasal colonization of SCCmec II, III and tst-1 positive Methiticillin resistance Staphylococcal aureus isolated from patients in a hemodialysis unit, Tehran, Iran

The aim was to determine the presence of mecA, lukS/lukF-PV (PVL), eta & etb genes (exfoliative toxin A & B) and tst genes (TSST-1) in two S.aureus colonized patients.

Distribution of tsst-1 and mecA Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated From Clinical Specimens

Evaluated cases showed elevated incidences of tsst-1 positive and MRSA strains with higher rates of antibiotic resistance, and a significant correlation was observed between the presence of the mecA gene and resistance to oxacillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline and the multi-drug resistant property, which is resistance to more than three antibiotics.

A single clone of Staphylococcus aureus causes the majority of cases of toxic shock syndrome.

The recovery of a single clone from the majority of individuals afflicted with TSS having a urogenital focus and from the genital tract of a large proportion of asymptomatic female carriers strongly suggests that this clone is especially well adapted for colonization of these anatomic sites.

Staphylococcus aureus express unique superantigens depending on the tissue source.

Levels of serum antibodies to SEG and SEI, but not to other superantigens, were higher in healthy women than in men and served as an independent measure of the higher frequency of exposure to SAG/SEI among women.

Local Variants of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec in Sporadic Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci: Evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer?

Allelic variants of ccrAB in isolates from the same geographic region showed sequence conservation independent of species, which might indicate that different staphylococcal species acquire these genes locally by horizontal gene transfer.

Detection of genes for enterotoxins, exfoliative toxins, and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 in Staphylococcus aureus by the polymerase chain reaction

The identification of staphylococcal toxin genes in strains of S. aureus by the PCR offers a very specific, sensitive, relatively rapid, and inexpensive alternative to traditional immunological assays which depend on adequate gene expression for reliability and sensitivity.

Relationships between Staphylococcus aureus Genetic Background, Virulence Factors, agr Groups (Alleles), and Human Disease

The agr group may reflect an ancient evolutionary division of S. aureus in terms of this species’ fundamental biology, and the results do not show a direct role of the agr type in the type of human disease caused by S.Aureus.
