A 4 YEAR STUDY OF METHCILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS ISOLATES FROM A TERTIARY DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MIC VALUES
Dr S. Shaikh, Dr S. Arora, Ms H. Pandya
Abstract :
A retrospective analysis of Methicillin resistant isolates reported over the past 4 years was done. The sample types,
the isolate species and susceptibility pattern were analyzed. MIC values were also looked discerned.The isolates
were identied and susceptibility was done by Vitek 2 Compact using updated CLSI guidelines.Conclusion:Incidence of MRSA continue to be
high. Skin and soft tissue infections is the predominant presentation followed by bacteremia. Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant
species isolated . No VISA or VRSA in our study.Clindamycin, Vancomycin, Daptomycin and Linezolid are likely to show increased resistance in
the future unless we use them judiciously.Tetracycline and Tigecyline group are useful options.
