Giriş: Son yıllarda Staphylococcus aureus’ta sınırlı sayıda vankomisin direncinin yanında vankomisine azalmış duyarlılıktan da söz edilmektedir. Çalışmamızda çeşitli klinik örneklerden izole edilen Stafilokokus suşlarında vankomisin duyarlılık testi çalışılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Metisiline dirençli olan toplam 164 Staphylococcus aureus ve koagülaz negatif stafilokok suşunda vankomisin agar tarama ve E-test yöntemiyle vankomisin duyarlılığı çalışılmış ve sonuçlar Clinical and Laboratory Standart Institute ve Europian Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing kriterlerince irdelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Hasta örneklerinden izole edilen 164 (93 Metisilin Dirençli Staphylococcus aureus ve 71 Metisilin Dirençli Koagulaz Negatif Stafilokok) stafilokok suşunun E-Test ile değerlendirmesinde Clinical and Laboratory Standart Institute'ye göre vankomisine hassasiyeti azalmış ya da dirençli suşa rastlanmadı. Europian Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing'e göre Brain Heart infüzyon agarda üreyen 6 Metisilin Dirençli Staphylococcus aureus suşunun 3'ü, 7 Metisilin Dirençli Koagulaz Negatif Stafilokok suşunun 1'i Vankomisin'e dirençli tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Minimum İnhibitör Konsantrasyon değerindeki küçük değişiklikler bile klinik olarak anlamlı olabileceğinden, Vankomisin Minimum İnhibitör Konsantrasyon değeri doğru tespit edilmelidir.
Introduction: Besides the few investigation demonstrating the vancomycin resistance towards Staphylococcus aureus in recent years, it has been also reported a decreased sensitivity of these bacteria to vancomycin. In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate sensitivity test in staphylococcus strains isolated from various clinical samples.
Methods: A total of 164 staphylococcus strains consisting of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (n=93), and Methicillin Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (n=71) were included in this study. The vancomycin agar screening and E-test methods were used to assess vancomycin sensitivity, and results were interpreted to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing criteria.
Results: After assessing the strains by using E-Test, neither decreased sensitivity, nor resistance to vancomycin was determined according to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. However, 3 of 6 Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and 1 of 7 Methicillin Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus reproduced in Brain Heart Infusion Agar were found to be resistant to vancomycin according to European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing.
Conclusion: Because even small changes can be clinically significant, Minimum İnhibition Concentration value of vancomycin should be correctly determined.
