dc.description.abstractBackground: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a well-recognized public health problem throughout theworld. The evolution of new genetically distinct community-acquired and livestock-acquired MRSA and extended resistance toother non-β-lactams including vancomycin has only amplified the crisis. This paper presents data on the prevalence of MRSAand resistance pattern to other antibiotics on the selected specimen from burn patients.Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in the burn unit of Shyam Shah Medical College and SanjayGandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa (M.P.), from June 2018 to May 2019, where all patients with flame and scald burns wereincluded in the study who had up to a second degree or partial-thickness burns.Results: A total of 558 patients were admitted in the burn unit throu`ghout the year, the age ranged from 2 months to 85 years.About 56.10% were females and 43.90% were males. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37.5%) was the most common isolatefollowed by S. aureus (18.75%). The prevalence of MRSA was 57.14% but all the MRSA isolates showed 100% sensitivity tovancomycin and linezolid closely followed by piperacillin and tazobactam combination. The prevalence of methicillin resistanceoverall among S. aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis was found to be 51.72%.Conclusion: MRSA is prevalent among the burn wounds but is 100% sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid. To ensure earlyand appropriate therapy, routine microbiological surveillance and a regular update of their antimicrobial susceptibility patterncould help in the prevention of development of multidrug resistance.en_US
