Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a threat to global health due to its resistance to β-lactam antibiotics and many other antibiotic classes developed via both intrinsic and acquired mechanisms. In this study, molecular characteristics related to antibiotic resistance of MRSA strain BM85 were investigated by whole-genome sequencing of a sample isolated from a patient with bloodstream infection at Bach Mai Hospital, Vietnam.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the major causes of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. It is widespread in communities and prevalent in hospital and even amongst the livestock.The mortality and morbidity amongst patients with infections associated with MRSA are usually high owing to increasing resistance to several antibiotics. The resistant pattern of MRSA has not been clearly defined in Oleh.

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.

Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for widespread infections in the community as well as hospital settings. Rapid emergence of resistance to antibiotics is well known in this organism; particularly in the Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). So present study was carried out to detect current trend in the antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from skin and soft tissue infections which in turn will be helpful for choosing empirical antibiotics for these infections. The study was conducted in our tertiary care hospital during the period of January to December 2016.

Staphylococcus aureus recently shows resistance to many Beta lactam antibiotics and Carbapenems. This study is focused on the incidence of MRSA in NICUs. Using Gram staining, blood culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests, MRSA can be identified. Septicemia is diagnosed not only by the isolation of the organism in blood culture. It should be correlated with total count, CRP like lab investigations and clinical features. Sometimes repeated blood culture is needed to confirm the diagnosis and to assess the prognosis.

Among the other 12 inpatient MRSA isolates which had the pvl gene, nine were sensitive to most of the non- beta lactam antibiotics, whereas remaining three were resistant to most of the antibiotics except vancomycin and linezolid. The presence of pvl gene can no longer be used to discriminate between CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA.

Methicilin–resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections with limited options for treatment due to its known resistance to many antibiotics. Knowledge guided antibiotic combination therapy can be of great benefit in fighting this superbug. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined activity of penicillin G (A) and gentamicin (B) against clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Microbiological infection plays vital role in determining the outcome as well as cost and duration of the hospital stay for patients admitted in ICU setup. Of late nosocomial infections especially ventilator associated pneumonias (VAP) have been recognized to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality in intubated patients. It is of critical importance to do regular surveillance of important pathogen (like Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase producers) and its resistance pattern.

Resazurin microplate assay: Rapid assay for detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The increasing methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections pose a serious threat. Accurate and rapid detection of methicillin resistance is important for ensuring the prompt start of antibiotherapy and control of MRSA in the hospitals. Molecular detection of mecA gene is the gold standard for identification of MRSA isolates. However, many laboratories don’t have the capacity for molecular techniques. Resazurin is a dye used as an oxidation reduction indicator in bacterial cell viability assays.
