Abstract
*MRS A are important in that they are resistant to flucloxacillin and erylhromycin, the most commonly used antibiotics to treat Slaph. aureus infection. They are also resistant to other antibiotics, leaving only glycopeptides for treatment which are potentially toxic and expensive. *Analysis of MRS A isolates from various hospital outbreaks by genotypic fingerprinting techniques can be used to identify transmission routes and reservoirs of MRS A clones in the hospital environment. *This study was done to estimate the prevalence of MRS A as a causative agent of nosocomial infection in MUM and genotyping of clinical isolates to add precise markers for the epidemiological investigation of MRSA. *In the present work, NCIR represented (3.6%). The most common NCI was POWI (47.2%) followed by UTI (22.6%), bacteremia (19.2%) and lastly LRTI (11%). *In this study Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the commonest pathogen in POWI (20.5%) and Slaph. tuucus was the commonesl palhogen in nosocomial bacteremia (20.9%). Klebsiellapneumoniae and E. coli were the commonest pathogens in LRTI and UTI and represented (I 8.3%) and (29%) respective. *The present work was carried out on 35 MRSA isolates which were isolates and subjected to typing by resistogram and genotyping. In the present study, the commonest Staphylococcal nosocomial infections were bacteremia (53%), followed by POWI (32.8%), LRTI (22.5%) and lastly UTI (18.4%).
