“…Several investigations have been conducted to study the antimicrobial resistance pattern of S. aureus and it has been shown that the organism is resistant to β-lactam antibiotics, amino glycoside and macrolides (Atkinson and Lorian, 1984;Maple et al, 1989). S. aureus strains carry a wide variety of multi-drug resistant genes on plasmids, which can be exchanged and spread among different species of Staphylococci (Neihart et al, 1988).…”

A total of 70 ear and nasal swab samples collected from 35 persons, 16-hospital population and 19 nonhospital population was examined for presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Eighty percent of the population studied were found to be carriers of S. aureus. Of the 28 positive cases, 35.7% were carriers of S. aureus in both the ear and nostrils, while 14.3% and 50.0% had it only in their ear and nostrils, respectively. The S. aureus isolates varied in their antibiotic susceptibility pattern when tested for their sensitivity to 16 antibiotics. Eighty percent of the isolates were resistant to more than one antimicrobial agent. All the isolates showed resistance to nalidixic acid and 100% sensitivity to rifampicin.

“…When the betalactam ring of this antibiotic class is hydrolyzed, antimicrobial activity is destroyed (4) . S.aureus carry awide variety of multidrug resistant genes on plasmids, which can be exchanged and spread among different species of staphylococci (5) . There is substatial evidence that these resistant bacteria cause antibiotic resistant infection in humans (3) .…”

Fifty liver and lung samples (25 for each) were examend for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. The rate of S. aureus isolates were 60 and 56% in livers and lungs respectively. Identification of S. aureus isolates were performed by studying, it's cultural characteristics on mannitol salt agar and testing their pathogenicity factors (Coagulase, haemolysis and B-lactmase production), 72.4% of isolates were coagulase positive, 58.6% were βlactamase producer, 62.1% were β-haemolytic and 37.9% were α-haemolytic. There was a difference in the ablity of S. aureus isolates to produce B-lactamase concerning the time of decolourization when iodometric assay was used.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the biggest health care problem globally, it is responsible for the high rate of mortality worldwide which was commonly observed in developing countries. We tried to find the incidence of antimicrobial resistance in the tribal region of Chhattisgarh, India.Methods: It was an institutional based retrospective observational study. Out of 3389 samples from inpatient and outpatient department, a total number of 1676 cultured proven micro-organism were isolated from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018. SPSS v23 was used for descriptive analysis.Results: More than 75% of the samples collected from the inpatient department in which surgical IPD were significantly higher. The commonest isolated were Staphylococcus aureus followed by Escherichia coli, then Klebsiella species. Amoxycillin-clavulanic acid was resistant to the majority of microorganism followed by 3rd generation cephalosporins then Co-trimoxazole.Conclusions: Antimicrobial resistance was higher even in the tribal region. The incidence of AMR is increasing at an alarming rate. Microorganism targeted antimicrobial therapy with the use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics and avoidance of broad-spectrum antibiotics will possibly overcome the antimicrobial resistance. There is also a need to strengthen laboratory or microbiology department to produce an accurate report to combat antimicrobial resistance.
