Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the anterior nares of about one-third of the human population. Anterior nares colonization with S. aureus or methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) allows these pathogens to colonize the skin and other anatomical locations. Accordingly, these pathogens may cause different types of endogenous infections. To investigate the prevalence of nasal carriage of S. aureus or MRSA among Palestinian diabetic patients, nasal swabs were taken from 151 diabetic patients, about to undergo invasive surgeries. Thirty-five patients (35.1% of the total patients) were found to be colonized with S. aureus, of which 14 (9.7% of the total patients) were found to be colonized with MRSA. These proportions were higher than those described for the general population (30% and 1.3%, respectively) or even for Palestinian patients in general (25.9% and 2%, respectively). In addition, the proportion of nasal carriage of S. aureus or MRSA among Palestinian diabetic patients was found to be higher than that described for diabetic patients in other countries. Meanwhile, 30 of the 53 isolates (57% of the total isolates) were also found to be multidrug-resistant. Accordingly, the proportion of anterior nares colonization with S. aureus or MRSA in Palestinian diabetic patients was remarkably high.

巴勒斯坦糖尿病患者鼻腔前定植金黄色葡萄球菌或耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌的患病率

金黄色葡萄球菌(金黄色葡萄球菌)是一种机会致病菌，大约三分之一的人口在鼻腔前定植。前鼻孔定植金黄色葡萄球菌或耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)使这些病原体定植在皮肤和其他解剖部位。因此，这些病原体可能引起不同类型的内源性感染。为了调查巴勒斯坦糖尿病患者中金黄色葡萄球菌或MRSA鼻腔携带的流行情况，对151例即将接受有创手术的糖尿病患者进行鼻拭子采集。35例(35.1%)患者检出金黄色葡萄球菌，其中14例(9.7%)患者检出MRSA。这些比例高于一般人群(分别为30%和1.3%)，甚至高于一般巴勒斯坦患者(分别为25.9%和2%)。此外，巴勒斯坦糖尿病患者鼻腔携带金黄色葡萄球菌或MRSA的比例高于其他国家糖尿病患者。同时，53株分离株中有30株(占总分离株的57%)也被发现具有多重耐药。因此，巴勒斯坦糖尿病患者鼻腔前定植金黄色葡萄球菌或MRSA的比例非常高。

期刊介绍： ''Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods'' is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing research and review papers associated with the quality and safety of food and food sources including cereals, grains, oilseeds, fruits, root crops and animal sources. It targets both primary materials and their conversion to human foods. There is a strong focus on the development and application of new analytical tools and their potential for quality assessment, assurance, control and safety. The scope includes issues of risk assessment, traceability, authenticity, food security and socio-economic impacts. Manuscripts presenting novel data and information that are likely to significantly contribute to scientific knowledge in areas of food quality and safety will be considered. ''Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods'' provides a forum for all those working in the specialist field of food quality and safety to report on the progress and outcomes of their research.
