Prevalence of MRSA among clinical isolates

The present study was carried out to isolate Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in clinical samples. Standard microbiological and biochemical methods were used to screen 404 clinical specimens comprising of pus, urine and blood.58 isolates were MRSA out of 194 Staphylococcus aureus isolates. MRSA is increasing. Most MRSA are resistant to several non-beta lactam antibiotics. Frequent monitoring of susceptibility patterns of MRSA and formulation of a definite antibiotic policy may be helpful in decreasing incidence of MRSA infection.

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.

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.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important etiology of community and hospital acquired infections. With an increasing incidence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in a tertiary care Hospital between July 2017 and July 2018.
