Staphylococcus aureus resistance to mupirocin is often caused by acquisition of a novel isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase encoded on the plasmid gene mupA. We tested S. aureus isolates from children at Texas Children's Hospital with recurrent skin and soft tissue infections for mupirocin resistance and mupA. Of 136 isolates, 20 were resistant to mupirocin (14.7%). Fifteen isolates (11%) carried mupA, and the gene was more common in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (21.4%) than methicillin-resistant S. aureus (8.3%; P=0.03). Seven of 20 mupirocin-resistant isolates displayed clindamycin resistance.
金黄色葡萄球菌对莫匹罗星的耐药性通常是由于质粒基因 mupA 编码的新型异亮氨酸 tRNA 合成酶的获得引起的。我们检测了德克萨斯儿童医院复发性皮肤和软组织感染患儿的金黄色葡萄球菌分离株的莫匹罗星耐药性和 mupA。在 136 株分离株中,有 20 株对莫匹罗星耐药(14.7%)。15 株(11%)携带 mupA,该基因在甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(21.4%)中比甲氧西林耐药金黄色葡萄球菌(8.3%)更为常见(P=0.03)。20 株莫匹罗星耐药分离株中有 7 株表现出克林霉素耐药性。
