Abstract

Background and Objectives: Increased incidence of MRSA in any area is clinically and epidemiologically significant. Studying and reporting of the rate of the incidence is the task of the investigators. The present research was a pilot study to reach this aim.Materials and Methods: To find the prevalence of MRSA in Ahwaz area, a total of 70 isolates of STAPHYLOCOCCI were collected from different clinical specimens routinely sent to various hospital laboratories of the city. Isolates were identified based on coagulase and conventional biochemical reactions. Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method with methicillin disk was used to find the rate of resistant strains.Results:The results showed that 40 staphylococcal isolates were coagulase positive and the rest (30) coagulase negative. Of the total 70 isolates of STAPHYLOCOCCI, 23(32.85%) isolates were resistant to methicillin. Of these 23 MRSA,15(37.5%) isolates were found to be coagulase positive and 8(26.67%) as coagulase negative.Conclusion: Resistance pattern of Staphylococcus to various antibiotics, specially methicillin is towards increasing trend. Prevalence of MRSA was comparatively more than as reported elsewhere in Iran or other countries.
