Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
It is form of bacterial infection that is resistant to numerous antibiotics including Methicillin, amoxillin, penicillin and oxacillin, thus making it challenging to treat the infection successfully Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body. Staphylococcus aureus continues to be a dangerous pathogen for both community-acquired as well as hospital-associated infections. S. aureus resistant to Methicillin were reported soon after its introduction in October 1960. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is now endemic in India. The incidence of MRSA varies from 25 per cent in western part of India to 50 per cent in South India. Community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) has been increasingly reported from India.
