Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common and important cause of nosocomial infections not found in hospitals and health care facilities where people are poorly protected, MRSA is commonly spread in hospitals by patients as a primary reserve, health care workers (HCWs), surrounding environments, and sometimes airborne, MRSA possesses a number of toxicity factors that play an important role in the spread and resistance of bacteria, including a super-antigen encoded by the Tst gene Toxic Shock Syndrome-1 ( TSS-1) Infectious complications are secondary forms of invasive bacterial diseases such as pneumonia, lung disorders, urinary tract infections, food poisoning, arthritis, endocarditis, meningitis, arthritis, toxic shock syndrome, sepsis and m. The study found the presence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal bacteria (MRSA), 39/46 (85%), the Tst gene was absent in most isolates, only 6/39 (15.4%) of the Tst gene.
