Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcus Aureus in Dhaka, Bangladesh: a cross sectional study of antibiograms

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance has become a major issue across the world. This study conducted to find out resistance pattern of S. aureus in Bangladesh. The study implicated that the bacteria were highly resistant against cefaclor, cefixime, cefradine, chloramphenicol, clindamycin. However, it was very sensitive to amikacin, ampicillin, doxycycline, fusidic acid, imipenem, norfloxacin. In case of cefuroxime, amoxiclav, tigecycline, vancomycin there were no clear results from our study. Hopefully, this study will increase awareness of antibiotic usage, promote rational usage and pave the way for future studies.
