is a leading cause of cutaneous bacterial infection involving community.
In this study, a total of 42 swab samples were collected from the surface of various fitness equipment such as back machines, exercise mats, dip stations, dumbbells, and treadmills. Identification of the bacterial isolates was conducted using biochemical tests and further analysed molecularly using the PCR method targeting gene (270 bp). The gene encodes for the thermonuclease enzyme, a virulent factor of .
The findings showed 31 out of 42 swab samples (73.81%) were positive with .
This study showed that gymnasium equipment is a potential reservoir for and might play an important role in transmitting the pathogen to humans.
This study was undertaken to assess the presence of on the surface of fitness equipment from selected gymnasiums in Kuching and Kota Samarahan, Sarawak (Malaysia).
是社区获得性皮肤细菌感染的主要原因。
在本研究中,共从各种健身器材表面采集了42份拭子样本,这些器材包括背部训练机、运动垫、双杠训练器、哑铃和跑步机。使用生化试验对细菌分离株进行鉴定,并进一步采用针对基因(270 bp)的PCR方法进行分子分析。该基因编码热核酸酶,是……的一种毒力因子。
结果显示,42份拭子样本中有31份(73.81%)检测出……呈阳性。
本研究表明,健身器材是……的潜在储存宿主,可能在将病原体传播给人类方面发挥重要作用。
本研究旨在评估马来西亚砂拉越古晋和哥打萨马拉汉选定体育馆健身器材表面是否存在……。
