Abstract:ObjectiveTo analyze antimicrobial resistance of hospitalassociated methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus(HAMRSA) and communityassociated methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (CAMRSA), and provide reference for clinical treatment and rational antimicrobial use.MethodsFrom May 2013 to June 2014, Staphylococcus aureus in a hospital were collected and analyzed, strains were identified and performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing by using VITEK 2 Compact system, diagnosis of HAMRSA and CAMRSA were confirmed in combined with clinical symptoms.ResultsA total of 84 MRSA isolates were isolated (61 were HAMRSA strains, 23 were CAMRSA).Resistant rates of HAMRSA and CAMRSA to penicillin G and oxacillin were both 100.00%; to ampicillin/sulbactam was 100.00% and 95.65% respectively; to compound sulfamethoxazole was 39.34% and 34.78% respectively. Antimicrobial resistant rates of HAMRSA to gentamicin, tetracycline, erythromycin, clindamycin, levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, nitrofurantoin, and rifampicin were all higher than CAMRSA, the difference were significant(all P<0.001).ConclusionAntimicrobial resistance of HAMRSA and CAMRSA are all serious, monitor should be intensified, antimicrobial use should be chosen according to antimicrobial susceptibility testing result.
