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.

Critical care populations are at high risk for Multi drug resistant organisms (MDRO) colonization because of rampant use of broad-spectrum antibiotics leading to colonization with resistant strains, Screening for MDR organisms is one of the many approaches needed to deal with the very major clinical problem concerning drug resistance.

Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile human pathogen causing infections ranging from relatively mild skin and soft tissue infection to life threatening sepsis, pneumonia and toxic shock syndrome. The increasing incidence of a variety of infections and, especially, the expanding role of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)--has led to emphasis on the need for safe and effective agents to treat both systemic and localized staphylococcal infections. Clindamycin is considered to be one of the alternative agents in these infections.

Burn wound infections are most serious and often lead to life- threatening complications which are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in burns patients. Generally burn wound has high susceptibility rate of bacterial colonization and infection, this is because of destroyed skin barrier due to burns and which leads to direct bacterimic spread. To detect the prevalence of MRSA producers among Gram positive cocci and ESBL producers among Gram negative bacilli from the burn wound isolates. This Prospective study was conducted for 3 months (May, June July 2017) at Govt.
