MRSA association with Tinea corporis in Al-Anbar governorate/ west of Iraq

Abstract

Backgraund: Staphylococcus aureus, a significant human pathogen throughout history, is now the most common cause of bacterial infection worldwide. S. aureus has the remarkable ability to cause a spectrum of illnesses, from non-fatal necrotizing pneumonia to mild skin infections. Additionally, a significant therapeutic worry is the spread of extremely virulent, drug-resistant bacteria like methicillin-resistant S. aureus in clinical and community settings. Dermatophytes are responsible for the superficial fungal skin ailment known as tinea corporis. Tinea corporis is widespread across the world. The position of the lesions, which may affect the trunk, neck, arms, and legs, is carefully specified. Aims of study:  To study the relationship between Bacterial infection with the Tinea corporis.    Isolation and Identification of fungal species in clinical isolates MRSA by Classical methods. To show the frequency of bacterial (MRSA) associated with mycotic dermatitis infections and in the   patients from Al-Anbar governorate. Methods: Swab for bacteria and scrapping for fungi isolation from skin infection culture in classical method in) blood agar and then. MSAfor MRSA diagnosisi and Loctophynol cotton blue orf, SDA dermatophyte(Tinea corporis). Result: There was a significante correlation between MRSA and Tina corporis at the site of the infaction. Conclusion: the skin infected with tinea corporis destroy the skin defence wich lead to secondary bacterial infection MRSA wich transmission by contact and itching hand to stie infection led to contamination.
