Abstract:ObjectiveTo evaluate the features of disinfectantresistant genes in methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in China through Metaanalysis.MethodsLiteratures about features of disinfectantresistant genes in MRSA were searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang Med Online, PubMed, and Excerpta Medica Database (EMbase) through computerized retrieval system, literatures were selected according to standard inclusion and exclusion criteria, Metaanalysis was performed using R3.1.1 software and RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 42 literatures were included, involving disinfectantresistant genes of 2 671 strains of MRSA from 16 provinces (municipalities) in China. The overall detection rate of qacA/B, qacC, qacJ and norA was 28.03%(95%CI: 20.03%-36.48%), 8.94%(95%CI: 1.27%-22.49%), 17.74%(95%CI: 2.25%-43.39%), and 17.90%(95%CI: 0.00%-76.38%) respectively. The detection rates of qacEΔ1, qacG, and qacH were 0.00%. The overall detection rate of qacA/B of the southern and northern China areas was 27.12% (95%CI: 19.03%-36.06%) and 30.14% (95%CI: 13.11%-50.63%) respectively, there was no statistical difference between two areas (Z=0.59, P>0.05). The overall detection rate of qacA/B in the eastern, central and western economic region was 29.95% (95%CI: 21.85%-38.73%), 22.65% (95%CI: 10.08%-38.47%), and 26.94% (95%CI: 3.78%-60.95%) respectively, there was no statistical difference among these regions (P>0.05). The detection rates of qacA/B in hospitalacquired (HA)MRSA and communityacquired (CA)MRSA were not statistically different (OR and 95%CI=0.69[0.14-3.31], P=0.64). The detection rate of qacA/B in MRSA was higher than those in methicillinsensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (OR and 95%CI=4.99[3.53-7.06],P<0.01). ConclusionDetection rate of disinfectantresistant genes in MRSA is high in China, which is common and serious , monitoring on disinfectantresistant genes should be enhanced, disinfectants should be used rationally.
