Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is the most common cause of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and nosocomial infections.
In developed countries there is a major concern about the rise of community-associated methicillin-resistant SA (CA-MRSA), but data from developing countries are scarce.
In this study we describe the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of CA-MRSA and healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) in a district hospital from rural India.
We identified 119 CA-SA infections and 82 HA-SA infections.
The majority of infections were SSTI, and the proportion of MRSA in CA-SA and HA-SA infections was 64.7% and 70.7%, respectively.
The proportion of CA-MRSA in children <5 years was 73.7%.
We did not observe any linezolid or vancomycin resistance.
CA-SA had high levels of resistance to ciprofloxacin and low levels of resistance to chloramphenicol, doxycycline, rifampicin, and clindamycin.
CA-MRSA had higher proportion of resistance to ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, and cotrimoxazole than CA methicillin-susceptible SA (CA-MSSA).
HA-MRSA had higher proportion of resistance to clindamycin and doxycycline than CA-MRSA.
The results of this study indicate that MRSA is replacing MSSA in CA-SA infections.
If these findings are confirmed by other studies, the spread of CA-MRSA can be a major public health problem in India.
