Staphylococci can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). These UTIs are among the significant causes of antibiotic resistance and the spread of antibiotic-resistant diseases. The current study is aimed at establishing a resistance profile and determining the pathogenicity of strains isolated from UTI samples collected in Benin. For this purpose, urine samples (one hundred and seventy) that were collected from clinics and hospitals showed UTI in patients admitted/visited in Benin. The biochemical assay method was used to identify spp., and the disk diffusion method tested the antimicrobial susceptibility. The biofilm formation ability of the isolates of spp. was investigated by the colorimetric method. The presence of , , , , , and genes was examined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results showed that species were identified in 15.29% of all infected individuals and that 58% of these strains formed biofilms. Most strains (80.76%) were isolated in female samples, and the age group below 30 years appeared to be the most affected, with a rate of 50%. All strains isolated were 100% resistant to penicillin and oxacillin. The lowest resistance rates were seen with ciprofloxacin (30.8%), gentamicin, and amikacin (26.90%). Amikacin was the best antibiotic against strains isolated from UTIs. The isolates carried (42.31%), (19.23%), and (26.92%) genes in varying proportions. This study provides new information on the risks posed to the population by the overuse of antibiotics. In addition, it will play an essential role in restoring people's public health and controlling the spread of antibiotic resistance in urinary tract infections in Benin.
葡萄球菌可引起尿路感染(UTI)。这些 UTI 是抗生素耐药性和抗生素耐药性疾病传播的重要原因之一。本研究旨在建立耐药谱,并确定从贝宁收集的 UTI 样本中分离的菌株的致病性。为此,从贝宁诊所和医院采集的尿液样本(170 份)显示出尿路感染患者的 UTI。采用生化鉴定法鉴定 spp.,采用纸片扩散法检测抗菌药物敏感性。采用比色法研究 spp. 分离株的生物膜形成能力。通过多重聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测 、 、 、 、 和 基因的存在。结果表明,在所有感染个体中,有 15.29%鉴定出 种,其中 58%的菌株形成生物膜。大多数 株(80.76%)分离自女性样本,30 岁以下年龄组的感染率最高,为 50%。所有分离的 株对青霉素和苯唑西林均 100%耐药。对环丙沙星(30.8%)、庆大霉素和阿米卡星(26.90%)的耐药率最低。阿米卡星是治疗 UTI 分离株的最佳抗生素。分离株携带 (42.31%)、 (19.23%)和 (26.92%)基因,比例不同。本研究为抗生素过度使用对人群构成的风险提供了新的信息。此外,它将在恢复民众健康和控制贝宁尿路感染中抗生素耐药性传播方面发挥重要作用。
