Epidemiological Status of Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus Aureus (Mrsa) in India

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) persists as specifically prominent causes of mortality and morbidity globally. The antibiotic-resistant strains in specific methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MSRA) is the root cause to develop resistance against antibiotics. Methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) appeared within two years of initial use of methicillin. To find relevant scientific publications linked with wise epidemiological burden of MRSA (CA-MRSA, HA-MRSA) in different regions of India, the literature search was conducted using PubMed, Pubmed central and Google Scholar. Search terms involved worldwide prevalence of MRSA, Risk Factors for MRSA, Resistance of MRSA and Clinical outcome, Epidemiology of MRSA in India, Incidence of HA-MRSA in Indian Settings, Incidence of CA-MRSA in Indian Settings.
