Incidence of Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus species and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern, in ocular samples at a tertiary care eye hospital, Hyderabad
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The aim of this study is to find the cause of increase in number of cases with methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus isolates.A retrospective analysis was done on all Staphylococcus isolates which were reported at Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital, Hyderabad from January 2016 to June 2016.Total of 468 samples were tested out of which Staphylococcus isolates were 218. Among them, methicillin resistance was seen in47 (21.5%) of samples. 35 (74.4%) samples were collected on outpatient basis and rest 12(25.6%) were from inpatient. 36 patients were males and 11 patients were females. 95.74% sensitivity was seen for Moxifloxacin.Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus is becoming increasingly prevalent, and ophthalmologists will see more ophthalmic MRSA infections. Microbiologist must identify Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus isolates, and Ophthalmologists must adjust empirical treatment regimens where Methicillin resistance is endemic, and take steps to control emergence of resistant organisms in both inpatient and outpatient practices. Keywords:MRSE, ocular, antibiotic susceptibility, MRSA, Cefoxitin.
