Abstract

ACOSTA NIEVES, Ivonne Patricia  and  ROENES:GALE, Gustavo José. Staphylococcus aureus from Valledupar cheeses; susceptibility to antibiotics and plasmid profile. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp.10-14. ISSN 0122-0667.

In this study, the antibiotic susceptibility was investigated and the plasmid profile of S aureus isolated from coastal cheese, soft, semi-hard and hard, expended in different outlets of the city of Valledupar. For the method of diffusion of the agar disk, the antibiotic resistance was determined and with the technique of alkaline lysis and electrophoresis in the agarose gel, the plasmid profile. As a result, was obtained one microbial load, above of 103 UFC/g, which is on average the maximum allowed value, according to the standard covenin 1538-92, which indicates that it can trigger outbreaks by Staphylococcal poisoning. The presence of S.aureus in coastal soft cheese was shown (75%), followed by semi-hard cheeses (25%) both home (handmade), which are of high consume in Valledupar. four different resistance patterns were established in the strains of the S.aureus isolated from the cheeses, being TER the common pattern for five strains, the rest of the patterns were unique (PR, CR and EI). One strain was resistant to P, producer of the β-lactamases, the CMI more tall was 32µg/ml; All the strains show sensibility to oxacillin, gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, cephoxitin, clindamycin, trimetoprim sulfa, vancomycin, rifampin, and imipenem. There plasmid bands with sizes between 23kb, being 1 strains with plasmids.
