Abstract

Abstract There is evidence that the transmission of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus between the community and environmental surfaces still exists. Even the means of this transmission remain uncertain, the public transport system may serve as a potential source of different bacteria, and the contact with contaminated public surfaces may increase the risk for bacterial diseases emergence. This study aimed to investigate S. aureus contamination on Bratislava’s public transport vehicles. Forty samples of hand-touched surfaces were collected during December 2015 and March 2017 by using surface sampling method. S. aureus was detected in all analysed swabs. Simultaneously, antibiotic resistance of S. aureus from swabs was evaluated. Of 40 samples, only 23 % did not contain S. aureus resistant to some of 10 analysed antibiotics. On the other hand, the severe prevalence of highly resistant S. aureus to penicillin, methicillin, ampicillin, and cefoxitin was confirmed. 15 % of isolates displayed resistance to at least three antimicrobial classes. The amount of S. aureus was not significantly influenced by the lines or by the analysed surface (grabs rails or on-board stop buttons). However, there was a statistically significant effect of year period, both between samples from December and March and between samples from the same month but different year. The study confirmed the widespread occurrence of resistant S. aureus in public transport vehicles in Bratislava, Slovakia.
斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发公共交通中金黄色葡萄球菌和耐药金黄色葡萄球菌的流行情况
有证据表明,金黄色葡萄球菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌在社区和环境表面之间的传播仍然存在。即使这种传播途径仍不确定,公共交通系统也可能是不同细菌的潜在来源,与受污染的公共表面接触可能增加出现细菌性疾病的风险。本研究旨在调查布拉迪斯拉发公共交通车辆的金黄色葡萄球菌污染情况。2015年12月至2017年3月,采用表面采样法采集手触表面样本40份。所有拭子均检出金黄色葡萄球菌。同时对拭子金黄色葡萄球菌的耐药性进行评估。在40个样本中,只有23%的样本不含对所分析的10种抗生素中的一些具有耐药性的金黄色葡萄球菌。另一方面,证实了对青霉素、甲氧西林、氨苄西林和头孢西丁高度耐药的金黄色葡萄球菌的严重流行。15%的分离株显示出对至少三种抗菌素类的耐药性。金黄色葡萄球菌的数量不受线路或分析表面(抓轨或车上停止按钮)的显著影响。然而,无论是12月和3月的样本之间,还是同月不同年份的样本之间,年份的影响都具有统计学意义。该研究证实,在斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发的公共交通工具中广泛存在耐药金黄色葡萄球菌。
