“…MRSA were detected by their sensitivity to Cefoxitin/Oxacillin as performed according to CLSI guidelines. Prevalence of MRSA in previous study by Harshan K H et al, 11 Banker N et al 2 and Devi U et al 4 were 29.7%, 28.8% and 26.9%.A study of Banker N et al 2 showed only 1.9% isolates were resistance to Vancomycin. While in our study 2.5% isolated were resistance to Vancomycin.Harshan H K et al 11 in a study reported a high level resistance to Penicillin (97.5%), followed by Erythromycin (46.3%) and Gentamycin (29.7%).…”

Staphylococcus aureus is a common health problem occuring as an important nosocomial pathogen, causing urinary tract infection, surgical site, blood stream and soft tissue infection. The aim of this research was conducted to determine MRSA and VRSA from the pus samples of admitted patients.The aim and objective of study was to isolate the resistance pattern of Staphylococcus aureus in pus samples and their AST. A total of 158 positive culture Staph aureus were taken from pus samples for the study during December 2019 - October 2020. Samples were cultured on Blood and MacConkey agar then incubated at 37C for 24 hours. The modified Kirby Bauer's disc diffusion method was used to test antibiotic sensitivity of staphylococcus isolates. In total of 158 positive culture of Staphylococcus aureus, 66 (41.7%) were found to be MRSA and 4 (2.5%) were found to be VRSA. Out of 158 Staph aureus, 146 (92.4%) were resistant to Penicillin, followed by Amoxycillin 140 (88.6%), Ampicillin 139 (87.9%), Erythromycin 91 (57.5%), Cefoxitin 66 (41.7%), Gentamycin 56 (35.4%), Amikacin 52 (32.9%) and Teicoplanin 37 (23.4%).: An antibiotic policy and screening of susceptibility patterns of MRSA may help in reducing the prevalence rate of MRSA and antibiotic resistance. To stop its spread to the population, it is very important to eliminate MRSA colonization in patients and health care workers. Accurate treatment helps to reduce the rate of morbidity and improvement of patient’s outcome.

BACKGROUNDMRSA poses a very serious problem producing difficult to treat infections in the community as well as in health facilities. Out of these, Health Care associated MRSA infections have the additional problem of being multidrug resistant. This fact led us to conduct this study in a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata. MATERIALS AND METHODSSamples of pus were collected from all the wards of the hospital. Samples were received within 30 minutes of their collection. The usual protocol of Gram stain, culture, biochemical tests and antibiotic sensitivity was followed. Phenotypic method using 30 µg cefoxitin disc was followed for identifying MRSA according to CLSI guidelines. The results were tabulated, and prevalence of MRSA was calculated. RESULTSOut of 102 Staphylococcus aureus samples 35.3% were found to be methicillin resistant. This prevalence of MRSA is found to be at par with a study done by Sangram S Patel et al. in 2015. CONCLUSIONThus, the results of the present study show a high endemicity of MRSA in our hospital in Kolkata. Though our results show 50% of the MRSA were MDR which could be due to selective antibiotic pressure. But fortunately, none of the isolates were XDR or PDR. This poses a serious problem for drug therapy because the treatment options become limited to potentially toxic antimicrobials like vancomycin, teicoplanin, streptogramins, linezolid and ceftaroline leading to increased mortality and morbidity.
