MRSA is Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that is resistant to methicillin and certain antibiotics. These organisms live as commensal bacteria that are transmitted in communities and health facilities which cause various health problems. Patients who develop antibiotic resistance have a worse clinical condition and many lead to death. The purpose of this study was to compare MSSA and MRSA against fluoroquinolone group and vancomycin antibiotics. Specimens derived from various clinical samples sent to microbiology laboratories FMUI for the period 2018-2019. Gram staining and culture is carried out according to the procedure of each colony that grows on the medium. Followed by identification using the automatic machine Vitek 2®. A total 62 isolates, 58 were MSSA and the others were MRSA (6.45%). MSSA patients are in the age range 1 - >50 years, dominant in men while MRSA is in the age range 16 – 30 and >50 years, dominant in women. The sensitivity of the fluoroquinolone group and vancomycin of antibiotics to MSSA was 100% whereas for MRSA it was 50 % to fluoroquinolone group and 100% to vancomycin. Vancomycin can be the antibiotic of choice for the management of infections by MRSA bacteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
