Abstract
Twenty four (24) MRSA isolates were obtained from clinical specimens and subjected to genetic study in Babylon Province in a period from July to January2011. Polymerase Chain Reaction was used for detection the genes that responsible for methicillin resistance (mecA, SCCmec type IV) and genes that responsible for toxin production (pvl, lukED). It was found that 24 (100%) isolates have positive result for mecA gene. The MRSA isolates were also SCCmec typed to differentiate between HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA isolates by using a uniplex PCR assay, 23 (95%) were found to be carrying SCCmec type IV, 19 (79%) had positive result for pvl toxin gene, 20 (83%) had lukED toxin gene.
