Résumé
The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular features and the antibiotic resistance profile of 98 clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected during 6 months in two hospitals of Kabul, Afghanistan. For all isolates, antimicrobial resistance patterns were determined by the disc diffusion method (including methicillin resistance which was detected using cefoxitin). The presence of the mecA/mecC genes was detected by PCR. Strains were then extensively characterized using microarray analysis. Of the 98 S. aureus isolates, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) prevalence was high at 66.3%. Antibiotic susceptibility testing also revealed a high resistance rate to penicillin (100%), erythromycin (66.3%), ciprofloxacin (55.1%), and cotrimoxazole (40.8%). Resistance to tobramycin was detected in 25.5%, to gentamicin in 16.3%, to chloramphenicol in 34.7%, and to doxycycline in 23.5% of the isolates. All the MRSA isolates were mecA-positive and none of them harbored mecC. Isolates were grouped into twelve clonal complexes and twenty-seven distinct clones. The most frequently detected clones were the Southwest Pacific clone (CC30-MRSA-IV PVL+) (21/65 MRSA, 32.3%), the CC22-MRSA-IV TSST-1+ clone (11/65 MRSA, 16.9%), and the Bengal Bay clone (ST772-MRSA-V PVL+) (11/65 MRSA, 16.9%). The PVL genes were found in 59.2% (46/65 MRSA and 12/33 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, MSSA) and tst1 gene in 16.3% of isolates. This molecular study highlights the high prevalence of MRSA and the large genetic diversity of the S. aureus isolates circulating and detected in two hospitals of Kabul, with the presence of multiple virulence and antibiotic resistance genes.
