About 150 million people suffer from urinary tract infection each year. In majority of cases, treatment is initiated empirically based on the antimicrobial resistance pattern of the urinary pathogens prevalent in a particular setting. Emerging antibiotic resistance among Enterobacteriaceae has posed challenges in choosing empiric regimens. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify etiological agents of urinary tract infections, detect ESBL producing uropathogens and study their antibiotic resistance profile.

Clindamycin is a substitute choice for mild to moderate Staphylococcal infections especially in penicillin-allergic patients. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogen with ability to cause wide range of infections in humans. Clindamycin has been used to treat serious infections for more than 30 years in children. It remains effective for many infections caused by community-acquired and hospital acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA/ HA- MRSA).

Staphylococcus spp is a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections and represents a significant burden on the healthcare system. Establishment of a mature biofilm, play an important role in the persistence of chronic infections and also decreases the susceptibility to antimicrobials and immune defenses, making these infections difficult to eradicate. MRSA and MR-CONS has become a major public health problem in both hospitals and communities. PVL has been reported to be an important marker for the highly pathogenic community acquired S. aureus infections.

Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) have emerged as predominant pathogens in hospital and community acquired infections. Clindamycin is a good therapeutic agent in treatment of skin, soft tissue as well as serious infections caused by both methicillin sensitive and resistant Staphylococci. However, strains with inducible clindamycin resistance often lead to therapeutic failure. Hence, each laboratory should be aware of the local prevalence of this resistance among clinical staphylococcal isolates.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading pathogens for hospital and community-acquired infections. Increased use of Vancomycin has resulted in the emergence of MRSA with reduced susceptibility to Vancomycin. The emergence of Vancomycin-intermediate or resistant S. aureus has created the need for other anti MRSA antibiotics. To isolate the Staphylococcus aureus from various clinical samples, determine the prevalence of MRSA and to assess the in-vitro susceptibility of Daptomycin against MRSA isolates.

Studies throughout the world document that the nosocomial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Many factors contribute to the frequency of nosocomial infections like immunocompromised state of patients, invasive examinations and treatments, patient care practices and hospital environment which facilitate transmission of microbes among patients. Treatment is becoming difficult due to inappropriate use of antibiotics and hence resistance develops. Knowledge on antibiotic resistance pattern is essential for appropriate therapy.
