•Roky was cycling and suddenly fell off into the drain, thatcauses his lip swelled up and develop a fever. Roky still havea fever even though, he already prescribed cephalothin, anantibiotic related to penicillin, to cure Roky’s fever, but threeday’s later Roky still was in the hospital with a fever of39.4ºC, coughing up blood, and trouble in breathing. So thedoctor’s decided to check the MRSA and found that thereason why the fever not cool down. MRSA is any strain ofStaphylococcus aureus that has developed, through theprocess of natural selection, resistance to beta-lactamantibiotics, which include (methicillin, penicillin, cephalothin)So the Doctor’s give the Roky’s different type of antibioticthat is vancomycin. As a result Roky’s fever quickly betterafter that. So Haikal as a researcher laboratory was given a
task to investigate measuring antibioticresistance of s. aureus and MRSA
Introduction
MRSA
MRSA is the abbreviation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
can cause a multitude of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body.
Within one to two years, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (S. aureus) started to be isolated that were resistant to methicillin. These S. aureus bacteria were then termed methicillin-resistant. MRSA usually show resistance to many antibiotics.
In the majority of cases, the colonizing bacteria do not cause disease. However, damage to the skin or other injury may allow the bacteria to overcome the natural protective mechanisms of the body and lead to infection; because of its ability to destroy skin, it is also one of the types of bacteria that has been termed a "flesh-eating bacterium."
• To investigate the degree of antibiotic
resistance in bacterial species using a Kirby-Bauer test.
• To developing and implementingprevention strategies that reduce the incidence of nosocomial acquired( originating or taking
placed in a hospital acquired in a hospital especially to an infection) MRSA.
• Kirby-Bauer antibiotic testing (also called KB testing or
disk diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing)
• Function : antibiotic-containing wafers or disks to test
whether particular bacteria are susceptible to specific
antibiotics
• PROCEDURE
1) First, a pure culture of bacteria
is isolated from the patient.
2) Then, a known quantity of bacteria are grown
overnight on agar (solid growth media) plates in the
presence of a thin wafer that contains a known amount of a relevant
antibiotic.
* If the bacteria are susceptible to
the particular antibiotic from a wafer, an area of clear media where bacteria
are not able to grow surrounds the wafer, which is known as the zone of inhibition. Because the concentration
of antibiotic that diffuses into the media decreases with increasing
distance from the source, a larger zone of inhibition around an
antibiotic-containing disk indicates that the bacteria are more sensitive to
the antibiotic in the disk.
Material that we
used?
Broth cultures of MRSA and
S.Aureus & Mueller-Hinton
agar
Forceps
Bunsen burner
Discs (methicillin, vancomycin,
penicillin, cephalothin)
Whatmanfilter paper
Sterile cotton swab
Step Procedure Justification
1 Do the experiment in the laminar flow. To prevent
contaminations.
2 Used the sterile cotton swab to create a lawn of
MRSA on one of the plates of Mueller-Hinton agar
aseptically.
To transfer broth culture
to agar plate.
Because the cotton swab
were sterile.
3 Used sterile forceps, pick discs (methicillin,
vancomycin, penicillin, cephalothin) and placed
them on opposite sides of a petri dish containing
MRSA, with the code side facing up. Make sure,
label the date and the bacteria. Then tap them gently
with sterile forceps to stick them to the agar.
Sterile forceps to prevent
contamination.
Label the date and
bacteria for make sure
that the result not
changed.
Step Procedure Justification
4 Wrap parafilm around all four plates and place its
on their lids and in the incubator at 37ºC for 48
hours.
Repeat step one until four using the plates of
S. Aureus but incubator at 37ºC 24 hours.
To prevent people who
handle them from
contamination by bacteria.
For possible pathogens
5 After 48 hours in the incubator, check for the
presence of antibiotic activity. This is done by
looking for a clear area, called a zone of inhibition,
surrounding a paper disc. Remember to never open
the dish for a better view.
To determine the affectivity of an antibiotic,
measure the diameter, in millimetre, of the zone of
inhibition.
To know which one is
very susceptibility of the
bacteria
