PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC DETERMINATION OFAMINOGLYCOSIDE RESISTANCE IN METHICILLIN RESISTANTSTAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATED FROM NOSOCOMIALINFECTIONS
2014
Aminoglycosides are powerful bactericidal agents used in combination with
betalactams or gelicopeptitds, particularly in the treatment of staphylococcal infections. The main
objective of this study was to investigate phenotypic and genotypic properties of aminoglycoside
resistance in methicillin resistant S. aureus.
Materials & Methods: During 8 months, out of 98 Staphylococcus isolates recovered from clinical
samples, 53 cases were identified as MRSA. The sensitivity of these isolates to aminoglycosides
investigated through disk diffusion method and MIC is determined. Presence of ant (4
