Aims: The purpose of this study was to look into the recent prevalence of MRSA in clinical samples from a hospital and to assess their antibiotic resistance pattern.
Design and Settings: This study was carried out over a 12-month period in the Department of Microbiology, School of Medical Sciences & Research, Sharda University and Sharda Hospital, Greater Noida. It was a research study that was carried out in the future.
Material and Methods: From February 2019 to February 2020, 258 coagulase-positive staphylococci (COPS) were isolated from a total of 25059 clinical specimens (such as pus, blood, urine, sputum, vaginal swab, and so on) of patients in the hospital. The bacteriological investigation followed standard laboratory procedures, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out.
Statistical analysis used: Nil
Results: During this time, 258 S. aureus samples were isolated. A total of 111 isolates were cefoxitin resistant (MRSA), while the remaining 147 isolates were cefoxitin sensitive (MSSA).
Conclusion: MRSA is one of the most common causes of therapeutic problems in many hospitals. MSSA isolates were more common than MRSA isolates, and MRSA was more drug-resistant than MSSA. Vancomycin and linezolid can be used to treat multidrug-resistant MRSA infections as well as life-threatening infections.
