Abstract
Patients with end stage renal disease undergoing dialysis are at the high risk of infections or colonization with MRSA We evaluated the status colonization of two hemodialysis patients and determined their phenotype by using oxacillin and cefoxitin disks and also studied their genotypes by using PCR We found the MRSA strains in our cases were healthcare associated harboring SCCmec II amp III and tst or PVL gene positive This report emphasizes the importance of S aureus status colonization in this group due to MSSA and MRSA isolates can harbor the mobile genetic element of tst gene and also the acquisition of the SCCmec for changing MSSA to MRSA is possible nbsp
