Aseptic dry swab samples were taken from the pus and wounds. The samples were properly labeled before being transferred to the lab, where they were quickly processed. Specimens were subsequently cultured on Blood Agar and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Staphylococcal isolates were identified using biochemical and morphological approaches.35 (link) Multiple biochemical tests for the confirmation of S. aureus were performed on the Gram-positive cocci in cluster detected under the microscope. Identification of S. aureus based on the presence of catalase and oxidase as well as coagulase activity and DNase activity in the S. aureus colonies on mannitol salt agar. Presumptive MRSA was confirmed by Vitek 2 identification card (bioMerieux, Marcy l’Etoile, France) was used for automated strain identification according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the quality control (QC) strain tested with each run was S. aureus ATCC25923. According to current EUCAST guidelines, methicillin susceptibility was evaluated using oxacillin discs (30 µg, Oxoid) and the mecA gene (F: GATCTGTACTGGGTTAATCA and R: CATATGACGTCTATCCATTT was identified using the PCR approach.36 (link)
