Status of resistance to antimicrobial agents of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strains at the laboratory of microbiology of the HU-JRA Antananarivo

Abstract: Introduction: On contact of antibiotics, S. aureus has gradually acquired multiple antibiotic resistances, including the methicillin (MRSA) and without lose its virulence. The aim of the present study was to report the evolution of resistance of S. aureus to different common antibiotics and to determine the antibiotics active against MRSA. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study for 10 years from January 2005 to December 2014 at the Laboratory of Microbiology of the HU-JRA Antanana… Show more

“…Amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid showed full resistance to Staphylococcus aureus (100%). This result is quite similar to that of Andrianarivelo et al in Madagascar [34]. We noted that E. coli resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones and aminoglycosides increased over the years.…”

“…All the S. aureus isolates in our study were resistant to penicillin G, which is similar to the results reported by Andrianarivelo et al, (20) (24) in Morocco. Resistance rate of S. aureus to gentamicin was 20% in our study but lower rates were reported in different studies conducted in Madagascar with 5.67% (18), Burkina Faso with 0% (25), Uganda with 0% (26) and Morocco with 2.2% (24).…”

The best anti-staphylococcal activities were exhibited by chloramphenicol (100% sensitivity), clindamycin (100% sensitivity) and fusidic acid (90% sensitivity), which was in concordance with results from studies conducted in Burkina Faso (25) and Madagascar (20).…”
