Patients with surgical wounds have been reported to be at high risk of MRSA carriage and infection.
The prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of this organism in the orthopaedic ward of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria-Nigeria, a 547-bed Nigerian hospital, were thus studied.
A total of 185 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were confirmed from 217 samples taken from the orthopaedic wards of the hospital using standard isolation methods.
Out of these, 44 (23.8%) were from the wounds of patients and 70 (37.8%) from the skin.
The remaining 65 (35.1%) and 6 (3.2%) were from their beds and the atmospheric air, respectively.
Out of these, 33 (75%), 36 (51.4%), and 48 (73.8%) from wounds, skin, and bed, respectively, were found to be methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using the disc-sensitive test methods.
None was detected from the atmosphere.
The antibiotic susceptibility pattern results showed the level of resistance to be ampicillin 100% in all the three sites, pefloxacin 90.9%, 72.2%, 66.7%, ceftriaxone 69.7%, 72.2%, 70.8%, gentamicin 54.5%, 52.8%, 37.5%, and ciprofloxacin 51.5%, 47.2%, 35.4% at the wound, skin, and bed sites, respectively.
Results confirm that MRSA continues to pose a threat to the hospitalized patients, especially those with bone and wound infections.
