Abstract:
Objective: To study the drug resistance mechanism of
Staphylococcus aureus (
aureaus) to vancomycin.
Methods: Vancomycin was applied
in vitro to induce vancomycin resistant heterogeneity
aureaus strains; then nuc gene(
aureaus specificity gene) and vanA gene(vancomycin resistance gene) were detected by PCR.
Results: Vancomycin resistant
aureaus contained nuc gene,but no vanA gene.
Conclusions: Vancomycin resistant
aureaus contains no common vancomycin resistant gene,cell wall thickening is maybe one of the main mechanisms of
aureaus to vancomycin resistance.
