Abstract

THE INCEDENCE OF METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN ALHUSSAIN TEACHING HOSPITAL OF AL-SAMAWA CITY, IRAQ AND ITS ANTIBIOTICS SUSEPTIBILITY

Dr. Noor Thamer Al-saadi¹, Taisir Abdulelah Kadhim*

ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections and is known for its ability to develop resistance to antibiotics. The drug susceptibility pattern of Methicillin Sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) may vary. This study was carried out to determine and compare the drug susceptibility patterns in MSSA and MRSA in Al-hussain teaching hospital in Al samawa city, Iraq. We have selected 6 different antibiotic drugs; each belongs to different class of antibiotics based on their mechanism of action to assay the bacterial resistance. The aim of this study is to determine which of the most widely described antibiotics drugs by the physicians are working against the bacteria and which of these antibiotics are not effective any more due to high rates of bacterial resistance due to indiscriminate use of antibiotics, lack of awareness among patients of low health educational background. As a result, antimicrobial resistance has emerged as one of the most serious health threats prompting widespread efforts to develop new antibacterial.

Keywords: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, Antibiotics resistance, CHROMagar.
