Detection of Methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus using phenotypic and genotypic methods in a tertiary care hospital Institution: Institute of Microbiology, Madras Medical College. Abstract: Purpose: Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are significant pathogens that have emerged over the past 30 years to cause both nosocomial and community acquired infections. This study has been undertaken to compare the conventional and molecular methods in detecting MRSA. S. aureus was isolated from pus samples and identified by Gram stain and Catalase test.

S. aureus is a major human pathogen capable of causing a wide range of infections and remains the second cause of nosocomial infections. To biochemically characterise the isolated coagulase-positive staphylococci, to determine its antimicrobial susceptibility and the MRSA status. 2220 samples were processed in the study period among which 150 were S. aureus, identified by Gram staining and coagulase test. Tests for characterisation included mannitol fermentation, demonstration of pigment production on milk agar, phosphatase test, DNase test, tellurite reduction test and urease production.

Community acquired pneumonia is an infection of pulmonary parenchyma. Despite of advancements in antimicrobial therapy, it stills remains a major threat with significant mortality and morbidity. It accounts for about 13-18% of all nosocomial infections. To identify microbial etiology of cases of Community acquired pneumonia, perform antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates & compare the anti-microbial resistance pattern with special reference to Streptococcus pneumoniae. The study was carried out at SRM Medical College Hospital & Research Centre from February 2012 to February 2013.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a multi-drug resistant opportunistic pathogen that causes nosocomial infections in immunocompromised patients. This pathogen is difficult to treat owing to its intrinsic multidrug resistance and ability to form antimicrobial-tolerant biofilms.
