“…12 Patil et al in their study found the highest susceptibility to Vancomycin (100%), Methicillin (69%), Gentamicin (69%) and Ciprofloxacin (58%). 9 Jayaraj et al reported the highest antibiotic sensitivity to Linezolid (100%), Vancomycin (86.32%), Amikacin (85.26%), Cotrimoxazole (70.53%) and Clindamycin (69.47%). 6 Majority of the above mentioned earlier studies showed greater susceptibility to Gentamicin, Erythromycin, Cephaloridine, while the recent studies have reported highest antibiotic susceptibility to Vancomycin, Linezolid, Amikacin and Gentamicin.…”

“…6,10 Majority of the studies have presented with impetigo as the commonest clinical type but in our study folliculitis (32%) was the most common clinical type followed by furunculosis (28%) and impetigo (13%) as our study population consisted mainly of adults. 6,9 Isolation of organisms reported single organisms in 92% of cases and no growth of organisms from 8% of cases. Similar results were reported in many studies.…”

Bacteriological and antibiotic susceptibility study of pyodermas at a tertiary care center in central Karnataka

Background: Pyoderma is defined as a skin infection mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes or both. Pyoderma is a common skin infection in India and constitutes major portion of patients in dermatological clinics. Many cases nowadays do not respond to the antibiotics that were previously sensitive. In order to successfully treat cases of pyodermas, sound knowledge is necessary regarding the etiology and their sensitivity patterns. Objectives of this study were to determine clinico-epidemiological and etiological factors associated in patients with pyoderma and to find sensitivity pattern of isolated organisms to various antibiotics commonly used.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was performed on 100 patients presenting with bacterial skin infections to the Dermatology out-patient department of a tertiary care centre in Central Karnataka. Clinical and epidemiological features were recorded on a predefined proforma. Sterile swabs were used to collect the pus from the lesions under aseptic precaution. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolated strains to different groups of drugs was tested on Muller Hinton agar by the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method.Results: Primary pyodermas was seen more in the age group of 21-30 years (21%), followed by 31-40 years (19%). Folliculitis (32%) was the commonest clinical type followed by furuncles (28%). Among the gram positive isolates, Vancomycin (88.24%), Linezolid (86.67%) and Cefoxitin (71%) were the most susceptible drugs, whereas Amoxicillin (92.86%) and penicillin G (88.37%) were the most resistant drugs. Conclusions: Pyodermas have been the major cause of morbidity since long. Even though pyoderma is a common condition, emerging multidrug resistant strains is of major concern to treat these conditions. Suitable and judicious selection of antibiotics by using antibiotic sensitivity data would limit the emerging drug resistant strains in the future to treat these clinical conditions successfully.

“…This finding is in concordance to various other studies where incidence of impetigo was (19.67%-24.2%). [3][4][5][6][7] Whereas, in another study done on adult population commonest pattern oberserved was folliculitis. 7 Scabies, molluscum contagiosum, atopic dermatitis with secondary infection are the common secondary pyodermas encountered in children.…”

Background: Pyodermas are frequently confronted skin infections by dermatologists in pediatric population. While treating them recurrence and resistance to commonly used antibiotics are the major concerns.Methods: 456 cases of pyodermas in pediatric population attending dermatology outpatient department of Sri Guru Ram Das Medical College over the period of 8 months from February 2016- October 2016 were evaluated. Samples were collected with sterile swab and sent for gram staining, culture and sensitivity.Results: Majority of cases of pyodermas in pediatric population were due to impetigo and secondarily infected scabies. Most cases were seen in the age group of 4-7 years. Staphylococcus aureus (49.5%) was the most frequently isolated organism from these cases followed by streptococcus (29.8%). Majority of these gram positive organisms were sensitive to antibiotics like amoxiclav, ampicillin and linezolid. E. coli and enterococcus were predominantly encountered gram negative isolates with high susceptibility to aminoglycosides and ceftriaxone. Conclusions: Bacteriological study of pyodermas and knowledge of their susceptibility pattern is imperative for appropriate management. It also helps in prevention of emergence of resistant strains.

Prevalence of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) in community-acquired primary pyoderma

Abstract: Methicillin resistance is uncommon in community-acquired primary pyodermas in Mumbai. Treatment with antibacterials active against MRSA is probably unwarranted for community-acquired primary pyodermas.
