This study was divided into two parts. The first part, the determination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prevalence in 25 broiler chicken farms, with the detection of multidrug resistant MRSA strains. The prevalence of MRSA was 31.8% (159 out of 500 samples) at the level of birds and it was 27% (27 out of 100) in the environmental samples. The highest antimicrobial resistance of the recovered MRSA strains was recorded to streptomycin (96%). All isolates (100%) had multidrug resistance (MDR) to four or more antibiotics with 16 distinct antibiotic resistant patterns, and multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) of 0.4-1. The second part, implementing novel biocontrol method for the isolated multidrug resistant MRSA strains through the isolation of its specific phage and detection of its survival rate at different pH and temperature degrees and lytic activity with and without encapsulation by chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs). Encapsulated and non-encapsulated MRSA phages were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM). Encapsulation of MRSA phage with CS-NPs increasing its lytic activity and its resistance to adverse conditions from pH and temperature. The findings of this study suggested that CS-NPs act as a protective barrier for MRSA phage for the control of multidrug resistant MRSA in broiler chicken farms.
本研究分为两部分。第一部分,在 25 个肉鸡养殖场中检测耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的流行情况,检测出多药耐药 MRSA 菌株。鸡群中的 MRSA 流行率为 31.8%(500 份样本中的 159 份),环境样本中的流行率为 27%(100 份样本中的 27 份)。回收的 MRSA 菌株的最高抗菌耐药性记录为链霉素(96%)。所有分离株(100%)对四种或更多种抗生素具有多药耐药性(MDR),有 16 种不同的抗生素耐药模式,多重抗生素耐药指数(MARI)为 0.4-1。第二部分,通过分离其特定噬菌体并检测其在不同 pH 值和温度下的存活率以及在有无壳聚糖纳米粒子(CS-NPs)包封的情况下的裂解活性,对分离的多药耐药性 MRSA 菌株实施新型生物防治方法。使用透射电子显微镜(TEM)对包封和未包封的 MRSA 噬菌体进行了表征。CS-NPs 对 MRSA 噬菌体的包封增加了其裂解活性及其对 pH 值和温度等不利条件的抗性。本研究结果表明,CS-NPs 可作为 MRSA 噬菌体的保护屏障,用于控制肉鸡养殖场中的多药耐药性 MRSA。
