Zakaria Ahmed* and Murshid Jahan Binte Ali

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to assay the methicillin resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from pus and wound swab samples of patients of local Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. In this study, a total of 211 S. aureus isolates were isolated from 1,063 specimens of pus and wound swab samples. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), were screened by testing resistance to oxacillin in Muller Hinton agar plate following the standard bacteriological technique. The overall prevalence of MRSA was 29.38% where MRSA infection was significantly higher among males (53.22%) than females (46.77%) and the isolation rate was higher in wound (7.11%) than pus sample (5.4%). All clinical isolates of this study have shown 100% S. aureus susceptible to vancomycin and 92.30% were susceptible to fusidic acid. The present study indicates that vancomycin and fusidic acid resistance is also getting spread day by day, both in community as well as hospital settings.

Keywords: S. aureus, methicillin, resistance.
