Out of 385 MRSA isolated from various clinical specimen, 36 (9.35%) isolates of MRSA were resistant to the routinely tested antibiotic. [Table 2]. The distribution of the MRSA (resistant to routinely tested antimicrobial agents) was higher among female (19, 52.78%) than males (17, 147.22%).
How is MRSA resistant?
Gram-positive bacteria acquire resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics through the production of a protein called PBP2a, which is able to avoid the inhibitory effects of the antibiotics. This is the mechanism by which MRSA is able to persist despite treatment with multiple beta-lactam antibiotics.
What drug is MRSA commonly resistant to?
MRSA is of special concern in regards to treatment because it is usually multi-drug resistant. In addition to most beta-lactams, MRSA is also commonly resistant to erythromycin, clindamycin, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, co-trimoxazole and rifampin.
