Özet
Staphylococcus aureus carriage in hospital staff members are more responsible for epidemy of S aureus. Hemodialysis (HD) patients are tender to the infections due to chronic renal failure (CRF) and in this patients, eradication of S aureus nasal-carriage is important. In this study, in Hemodialysis Center of Dicle University, Faculty of Medicine, from 18 patients in HD program (16 female, two male) and from 16 nurses, cultures of nasal swab were taken to determine the nasal carriage of S. aureus on their nose. The strain of isolated microorganism was defined by Vitec Bio-Meriéux, and classic method. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the method of Vitec Bio-Meriéux, nasal carriage of S aureus was determined 8 of 18 HD patients and 6 of 16 nurses. A methicillin-resistant strain of S aureus (MRSA) isolated in 2 of 6 strain of S aureus isolated from hospital staff member, and 4 of 8 strain isolated from HD patients. When totally 14 strain isolated from HD patients and nurses were investigate to susceptibility, of these strains were found to susceptible to vancomisin and teicoplanine as 100%, respectively; however, the all strains were resistant to penicilline G and ampiciline.
