Decreased susceptibility to chlorhexidine gluconate (CHDN) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is associated with the qacA, qacB, and smr genes, encoding efflux pumps. A total of 334 MRSA isolates were collected from two Canadian intensive care units between 2005 and 2009. We identified the qacAB genes in 7 strains (2%; 2 qacA genes and 5 qacB genes) and the smr gene in 23 (7%) strains. CHDN minimal bactericidal concentrations were slightly higher for strains harboring smr genes.
耐氯己定葡萄糖酸盐(CHDN)的金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的易感性降低与编码外排泵的 qacA、qacB 和 smr 基因有关。2005 年至 2009 年间,我们从加拿大的两个重症监护病房共收集了 334 株耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)。我们在 7 株(2%;2 个 qacA 基因和 5 个 qacB 基因)和 23 株(7%)菌株中发现了 qacAB 基因和 smr 基因。携带 smr 基因的菌株对 CHDN 的最小杀菌浓度略高。
