Background: Since methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains are resistant to multiple antibiotics, there is a possibility of extensive outbreaks which may be difficult to control. Early detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus is important from patients and hospitals point of view. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains were obtained from admitted patients of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi. The sources of isolate included pus from infected surgical wounds, infected burn wounds, conjunctival swab, aural swab, throat swab, vaginal swab, and urine for microbiological and biochemical analysis of methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Results: All the 264 cases of staphylococcal species isolated from different clinical specimens were subjected to coagulase test. It was observed that out of 264 strains of staphylococci isolated from different sites, 165 strains (62.5%) were coagulase positive and 99 strains (37.5%) were coagulase negative by tube method. Out of the 165 strains of coagulase-positive staphylococci, maximum isolation was obtained from pus 74 followed by throat swab 55, aural swab 21, vaginal 4, conjunctival swab 9, and urine 2. All the 165 cases of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus isolated from different clinical specimens were studied for hemolysis, mannitol fermentation, pigment production, and phosphatase production. Out of these 165 strains, 162 (98%) strains produced β-hemolysis on blood agar medium. Pigment production was noted in 160 (97%) of cases. Majority of strains produced characteristic golden yellow pigment on nutrient agar plate. A total of 155 (94%) strains of staphylococci fermented mannitol with the production of acid only. Phosphatase production was observed in 157 (95%) strains of pathogenic staphylococci. Conclusion: Considering the above-mentioned pathogenicity test, it was observed that coagulase test was the single most reliable test, though coagulase-negative staphylococci are sometimes pathogenic too.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of healthcare-associated infections. To combat the challenge of life threatening MRSA remains a primary focus of most hospital infection control programs6. This study is undertaken in Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College Hospital to identify the MRSA for determination of its prevalence and is considered a component of an infection control program in many countries5.Methods: Three hundred seventy hospitalized patients of surgery and medicine departments were studied during 2015. Clinical information of the patients and their pus, wound swab, sputum, throat swab and CSF were cultured.Results: Out of 370 patients, pus and wound swab of 217 (59%) had wound infection, sputum and throat swab of 141 had respiratory tract infection (38%) and CSF of 12 (3.2%) had meningitis were aseptically collected and cultured. Staphylococcus aureus were isolated in 51% cases and out of them MRSA was identified in 72 (73%) cases. MRSA isolated in 50% cases of meningitis, 49% cases of respiratory tract infection and 29% cases of wound infection.Conclusion: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus appeared as a common cause of major illness and death and impose serious economic costs on patients and hospitals of our area like other developing countries. Detection of MRSA was associated with more severe clinical presentation.KYAMC Journal Vol. 7, No.-1, Jul 2016, Page 673-677

Background: Antimicrobial resistance in health care-associated pathogens is a growing concern for healthcare and for public health. In response to these concerns, medical experts, professional societies and agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), have proposed initiatives to curtail the spread of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to observe the disease pattern and demographic characteristics of patient attending at the outpatient department of Otolaryngology in a tertiary care hospital suffering from sore throat and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) positive pharyngo-tonsillitis. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out at the outpatient department of Otolaryngology in Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College and Hospital for the period of January, 2016 to December, 2017. Data were collected based on history, clinical examinations and culture and sensitivity report of throat swab of the patients. Result: A total of 339 patients were studied of which 49.56% were male and 50.44% were female. The mean age was 30 years; maximum patient (36.28%) belongs to 21-30 years of age. Maximum patient (76%) were come from out of Sirajganj district specially North Bengal. Regarding result of throat swab of C/S 58.11% patients were MRSA positive, 26.84% patients were MRSA negative and15.04% patients has no growth. Conclusion: It is illogical to treat all sore throats with antibiotics. A large scale multi-center study should be performed in the country. A uniform data system should be constructed for Chronic Pharyngo-tonsillitis caused by Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Bangladesh.
