The association between biofilm formation and the accessory gene regulator (agr) types of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains in our hospital were investigated. The biofilm index and the incidence of MRSA strains carrying agr-2 in the infection group (n=91) were significantly higher than were those in the carrier group (n=225), suggesting that biofilm formation and agr type are associated with nosocomial MRSA infections.
我们研究了我院耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)菌株的生物膜形成与辅助基因调节因子(agr)类型之间的关联。感染组(n = 91)的生物膜指数和携带agr-2的MRSA菌株的发生率显著高于携带组(n = 225),这表明生物膜形成和agr类型与医院获得性MRSA感染有关。
