Antibiogram of MRSA Isolated from Blood Cultures to Streptogramins, Glycopeptides, Oxazolidinones and Testing for MIC of Vancomycin

Introduction: The hospital acquired Staphylococcus aureus strains are resistant to Methicillin and most of the routinely used antibiotics. Aims • To study the distribution of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in blood cultures. • To evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of MRSA to Vancomycin, Teicoplanin, Linezolid, Pristinamycin (Quinupristin –Dalfopristin). • To study the MIC of Vancomycin by E-test. • To formulate appropriate antibiotic policy for the treatment of MRSA sept
