Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the occurrence of antibiotic resistance reported against Staphylococcus aureus in the department of microbiology in a tertiary care hospital in Hapur. Methods: Urine, pus, blood, throat swab, and sputum samples of 15–60-year-old patients were collected and cultured. 100 samples were selected where S. aureus had grown. Bacteria were identified and the antimicrobial sensitivity testing was carried out. Results: The strain of resistant bacteria originates from an environment where several antibiotics are used. The bacteria were seen to be resistant frequently to 2–5 antibiotics. This indicates earlier exposure of the isolated bacteria to these drugs. Conclusion: The high multiple antibiotic resistance is identified in this study and it is necessary to make changes to national antibiotic policy.
