Abstract
In this study, 50 Staphylococcus aureus samples from Baghdad Hospital were collected and examined, 17 samples were infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 5 samples were infected with vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA). The sensitivity of the isolates against different antimicrobial agents was evaluated using the VITEK2 standard system. According to CLSI, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO-QDs) were also tested by the Muller-Hinton dilution method. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to identify vanA and mecA genes. The antibacterial effects of ZnO-QDs on VRSA were higher than MRSA isolates.
