INTRODUCTION: Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infections including skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening systemic infections like sepsis, endocarditis. This study ais to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of S.aurues among various clinical specimens. METHODS: The study included 326 S.aurues, isolated from various clinical specimens which were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing as per CLSI guidelines. RESULTS: Among the 326 isolates, the highest were from pus specimens (47.85%), and was from Orthopaedics department (28.53%). Among the isolates, 219 (67.17%) were Methicilin resistant. All isolates were sensitive to Vancomycin, and all urine isolates were sensitive to Nitrofurantoin. The highest resistance was towards Penicillin (87.42%), Erythromycin (85.28), and Ciprooxacin (83.13%). CONCLUSION: The most effective way to prevent MRSA infection in every hospital is by performing continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance and by following an effetive antibiotic policy.

Introduction:Klebsiella pneumoniae are common causative agents of various infections and are of great concern for developing resistance against commonly prescribed antibiotics. This study gives an account of isolation of K. pneumoniae from various clinical specimens and their antimicrobial susceptibility, in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: Various clinical specimens like urine, wound swab, sputum, blood and endotracheal aspirates were collected and processed for isolation of K. pneumoniae followed by their antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Results: Among the 316 samples that yielded culture positivity, K. pneumoniae were identified as second most common organism. The highest yield of K. pneumoniae (37.33%) were observed from wound swab followed by sputum (26.67%). Most of the isolates were resistant to sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim (90.67%) and ceftriaxone (90.67%) followed by cefotaxime (89.33%), ceftazidime (89.33%) and cefuroxime (89.33%). The most sensitive antibiotic for the isolates was tigecycline. Conclusion: Isolated K. pneumoniae showed resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics, which is very alarming and showing the importance on continuous monitoring and strict antimicrobial policy.
