“…The most common drug in the present research to which a high percentage of MRSA isolates were resistant was trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole). This finding is similar to most of the earlier studies [10,12,[23][24][25][26][27]. The MRSA isolates were found 61-68% resistant to gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and clindamycin.…”

“…In mono-center studies from Karnataka, and Assam, a moderate prevalence of 35% has been observed [24,25]. The present research has found a moderate prevalence of MRSA similar to the findings of studies by Nishi et al [25] and Saikia et al [24]. The prevalence is also similar to that of a multicenter study published by Mehta et al [22].…”

“…A recent study by Joshi et al [8] has shown 41% MRSA prevalence in India. In mono-center studies from Karnataka, and Assam, a moderate prevalence of 35% has been observed [24,25]. The present research has found a moderate prevalence of MRSA similar to the findings of studies by Nishi et al [25] and Saikia et al [24].…”
