2. INTRODUCTION
• What is MRSA?
S. aureus is gram positive cocci arranged in grape like
clusters, halotolerant and produces a golden yellow
pigment on agar media.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
is by definition a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that
is resistant to a large group of antibiotics called the β-
lactams, which include the penicillin and the
cephalosporins.
MRSA were first reported in the early 1960's and
now regarded as major hospital acquired pathogen
worldwide. The term methicillin resistant is used to
3. RATIONALE
• Why study on MRSA is important?
MRSA can cause life-threatening skin infections as
well as infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds,
heart valves and lungs.
MRSA was isolated at the rate 75.5% from clinical
samples in a study conducted by Rijal et al. in Pokhara
Valley (Rijal et al. 2008).
As of 2013 US CDC threat report, over 80,000 severe
MRSA infections occur every year and among those
11,000 do not survive.
This make a great concern for us as a researchers
regarding public heath.
4. OBJECTIVES
• General objectives:
The purpose of this study was to assess the extent of
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from
different clinical samples of patients visiting the
hospital lab.
• Specific objectives:
To isolate S. aureus from the samples.
To confirm presence of S. aureus via biochemical test
To perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing by
modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.
To evaluate the AST pattern of the isolates to a set of
antibiotics and determination of methicillin resistance.

Identification & reporting of result
Screening & detection of MRSA
6. EXPECTED OUTCOMES
There may be presence of at least 20% of S. aureus
among which 5% of S. aureus may be detected as
methicillin resistant.
Hence few no. of MRSA may be found due to the
resistant property developed in S. aureus against
different derivatives of β lactum antibiotics.
The result is expected to be positive and significant.
