Antibiotic Sensitivity and Clinico- epidemiological Profile of Staphylococcal Infections

This hospital-based study describes the antibiotic sensitivity of 66 S. aureus isolates from the admitted children (age 0-18 y) in a tertiary hospital of Kolkata, India. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus constituted 16.7% (n=11) of the isolates. Clindamycin-resistance was observed in 60% and 82% of me...

Zusammenfassung:	This hospital-based study describes the antibiotic sensitivity of 66 S. aureus isolates from the admitted children (age 0-18 y) in a tertiary hospital of Kolkata, India. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus constituted 16.7% (n=11) of the isolates. Clindamycin-resistance was observed in 60% and 82% of methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant strains, respectively.
