MONITORING OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS STRAINS IN CASE OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN THE URINOGENITAL TRACT

Abstract

The paper studies epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains that provoke bacterial urethritis, their sensitivity to antibacterial drugs and occurrence of
mecA gene. In 63% of cases the bacterial urethritis is caused by
S. aureus strains, amidst 60% of which are of mecA gene. The
findings substantiate the need to update standard of treatment of
the bacterial urethritis caused by S. aureus.
