Biofilm Formation And Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus From Wound Infection:- Iwu, Chioma S
ABSTRACT
Studies
have shown that wounds in hospital settings are at high risk of methicillin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage and infection. The prevalence
of this bacteria and antibiotic resistant pattern in hospitals located in
Umuahia, were thus studied. A total number of 30 isolates of Staphylococcus
aureus were confirmed from 50 samples taken from different hospitals in Umuahia
using standard isolation methods. Out of these, 15(50%) were positive for
biofilm formation, 5(16.6%) showed weak biofilm while 10(33.3%) showed negative
for biofilm formation. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern result showed the
level of sensitivity to Erthromycin 13(65%), Amikacin 12(60%) and Gentamycin
10(66.7%) while others showed resistance such as Ciprofloxacin 6(40%) and
ofloxacin 7(46.7%). The result from this study confirms that methicillin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to pose a threat to human
health, especially those with wound infection.
