Abstract
The study was carried out for the isolated bacterial staphylococcus aureus resistant to Methicillin. Samples were taken from wounds of the infectious person by swab. After conducting bacterial implant as well as biochemical examinations, such as rennet enzyme, analyzed enzyme,which is heat-resistant, tolerate and menthol fermentation, the study revealed that 50 staphylococcus aureus were found, of which only 8 isolates were identified to be methicillin-resistant. These are isolates which would be the matter of the study for further steps.An investigation was conducted on β-lactamase production after allergy examination was done for antibiotics amounting to 17 kinds.
β-lactamase results showed that 6 isolates indicated positive results for this examination.
These isolates were expelled to electrical expulsion device in order to find out its content of plasmid bands.
The electrical expulsion results of plasmid showed that 5 isolates possess two plasmid bands, while the other two plasmid bands possess four plasmid bands. One isolate only contained one plasmid band.
