“…[17] Dhanalakshmi TA et al showed 85.6% S. aureus isolates were resistant to Penicillin. [20] In our study, all the MRSA strains were reported resistant to Penicillin whereas, 73.8% MSSA strains were resistant and 26.2% were sensitive. All the S. aureus isolates in the present study were sensitive to Vancomycin, Teicoplanin and Linezolid.…”

“…Our study showed 36.4% resistance towards Gentamicin which was similar to a study conducted in South East Nigeria in 2016 by Chijioke A Nsofor et al where Gentamicin resistance was 31.7%. [13] Two other similar studies conducted by Dhanalakshmi TA et al [20] and Sina H et al [12] showed 33.6% and 42.27% resistance respectively towards Gentamicin. On the other hand, in present study, the resistance pattern for Ciprofloxacin was found to be 40.3%.…”

BACKGROUNDS. aureus is a versatile pathogen that causes human diseases ranging from mild infections to life-threatening sepsis. Therefore, to prevent S. aureus infections, effective infection control practices and antibiotic policies should be formulated. The present study was conducted to study the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolated from various clinical samples in a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODSA descriptive study was conducted in Microbiology Department. In the present study, out of 1194 clinical isolates, 206 S. aureus isolates were identified and processed using standard microbiology procedures. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines. RESULTSThe prevalence of S. aureus was reported as 206 (17.25%) and MRSA was reported as 99 (48.0%). High resistance was seen in case of Penicillin whereas resistance less than 50% was reported in Methicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, Erythromycin; and Clindamycin. Vancomycin, Teicoplanin and Linezolid were found to be 100% sensitive. CONCLUSIONS. aureus is a common cause of skin and soft tissue infections in hospitals. There should be a regular surveillance on the changing patterns of antibiotic sensitivity pattern of MRSA and antibiotic policy should be formulated to reduce the increasing levels of infections in the hospitals.

“…Dr. Dhanalakshmi TA, Umapathy BL et al (2012) (7) have stated that the Vancomycin screen agar test can be used as reliable screening method for detection of VRSA in their study from Karnataka, India. Gandham Pavani (2012) (8) has concluded in his study from Andhra Pradesh, India, that Vancomycin screen agar can be used as a method for Vancomycin resistant since it showed 100% specificity and 100% negative predictive value.…”

The current global death rate has threatened humans due to increase in deadly unknown infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms. On the contrary, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is also increasing which is leading to elevated lethality rate worldwide. Development of drug-resistant bacteria has become one of the daunting global challenges due to failure in approaching to combat against them. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of those drug-resistant bacteria which has led to increase in global mortality rate causing various lethal infections. Polymer synthesis can be one of the significant approaches to combat MRSA by fabricating polymeric coatings to prevent the spread of infections. This review provides last decade information in the development of various polymers against MRSA. Graphical abstract
