Antimicrobial resistance profile of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from different clinic isolates in Denizli, Turkey

Abstract

To assignation the grade of resistance to the widely used antibiotics in clinical isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus 51 isolates were collected from special hospital in Denizli and recorded at specimens. Antibiotic resistance was determined by agar disc diffusion method using Mueller-Hinton agar according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recommendations. All isolates were defined as Teicoplanin, Vancomycin and Daptomycin sensitive. The sensitivity rates for Trimetroprim/sulfametaxol and Ciprofloxacin were 90% and 67% respectively. Out of 51 isolates, 100% isolates showed Multiple Antibiotic Resistance two to seven antibiotics. The prevalence of MRSA was high and should necessitate caution in prescription of antibiotics without proper indication. The isolates were also multidrug resistant to several combinations of the tested antibiotics. © by PSP.
