Prevalence and sensitivity pattern of Staphylococcus aureus from different clinical samples in a Medical College Hospital. International Archives of Integrated Medicine. 2018 Aug; 5(8): 107-1122394-00262394-0034http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/186912Staphylococcus aureus is important organism responsible for wide variety of infections. The present study was conducted to find the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in various clinical samples received at the department of Microbiology, Darbhanga Medical College and to assess its sensitivity pattern. It was observed that 20.9% of the samples were positive and 42.2% of the isolated Staphylococcus aureus were methicillin resistant (MRSA). Most common sample was pus (38.4%) followed by urine (20.9%). 42.2% of the samples were resistant to Cefoxitin, Cefotaxime and Amoxicillin. 60.9% were resistant to Erythromycin and 24.4% to Gentamicin. Monitoring of antibiotic sensitivity is essential for better clinical management and preventing antibiotic resistance.PrevalenceAntimicrobial SensitivityStaphylococcus aureusMedical CollegeJournal ArticleIndiaTutor, Department of Microbiology, VIMS, Pawapuri, Bihar, IndiaPG Resident, MGM Medical College, Kishanganj, Bihar, India (Corresponding Author), k.renu1974@gmail.comAssistant Professor, Department of PSM, Darbhanga Medical College, Darbhanga, Bihar, IndiaAssistant Professor and Head, Department of Microbiology, VIMS, Pawapuri, Bihar, India
