Abstract: Purpose: To study the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among S. aureus ocular infections in a tertiary health center in Brazil and compare antibiotic susceptibility patterns between MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates. Methods: Electronic records from the ocular microbiology laboratory of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo were retrospectively reviewed. During a 10-year period (between January 2000 and December 2009) all conjunctivitis, keratitis, and endophthalmitis… Show more

“…2,6,9,17,35 MRSA retained better in vitro susceptibilities to sulfamethoxazole, bacitracin, gentamicin, and trimethoprim in comparison to the fluoroquinolones. Surprisingly, MRSA had lower susceptibility to gentamicin than anticipated (85.94%), as a survey published at the same institution from 1993 to 2010 showed 100% susceptibility to gentamicin for nine MRSA isolates., 18 In a review of the literature, ocular MRSA susceptibility rates tended to vary; although, susceptibility to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim was generally reported to be high (greater than 90%), which was consistent with our findings.…”
