| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Staphylococcus aureus causes about 50% of cases of chronic otitis media (COM). It is postulated that population structure of S. aureus is geographically different in regions or diseases such as impetigo and atopic dermatitis. This study demonstrated that population structure of S. aureus in COM did not reflect that of nasal strains in healthy volunteers, but rather it was specific to the disease.
The relationships among the virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, their antibiotic susceptibility, and the presence of enterotoxin genes have been frequently discussed.The minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of vancomycin was high for both hospital-associated(HA) and community-associated(CA) MRSA strains, and the MIC of linezolid was higher in CA-MRSA strains. More toxigenic genes were identified in HA-MRSA strains than in CA-MRSA strains.
