The effectiveness of the antibiotics used on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus for patients attending the surgery clinic at Misurata Medical Center

Abstract

The study was conducted on attending cases at the surgical clinic at the Misurata Medical Center during the time period from 8November to December 27 of 2019 of both sexes and the sample was random for patients and no age group was targeted and it included diabetic foot patients, gallbladder operations, appendicitis, hernias and other operations , Where he used the antibiotic Cefoxitin to identify the bacteria resistant to methicillin, and 8 antibiotics which are (Ampicillin, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Fusdic acid, Erythromycin, Vancomycin, Amoxicillin clavulanic acid, Trimethoprim- sulphamethoxazole(Bactrim). Among the results obtained during the study was the number of cases 120 and the proportion of men 50%, while females 50% and ranged ages (5-94) years, were isolated Staphylococcus aureus bacteria found 18% and Staphylococcus epidermidis 21%, and other bacterial species 16%, while 45% did not have bacterial growth, and the percentage of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is 17%, and it was present in most isolates from diabetic foot and gallbladder processes. In addition, most isolates are staph bacteria resistant to methicillin, resistant to multi antibiotics in most of them by more than 50%. This indicates that these bacteria are more prepared than any other bacterial type to resist antibiotics, and this excludes care by the patient not to randomly use antibiotics.
