Frequency of Methicillin Resistance, fnbA and fnbB Genes in Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

IJMM 2018; 12(1): 16-22 Background and Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen, which particularly its methicillin resistant strains, is responsible for a wide range of hospital and community acquired infections. Adhesion ability is one of the important virulence factors of this bacterium. In this study, the resistance to methicillin and the frequency of fnbA and fnbB adhesion genes in clinical isolates of S. aureus were investigated.
