Prevalence of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in Hospitals in Chittagong, Bangladesh: A Threat of Nosocomial Infection.

aureus (MRSA) infections are normally spread out without introducing any surveillance program embedded with control procedures.[ 2 ] In the past couple of years, a significant number of MRSA cases have been noticed worldwide.[ 3 ] From clinical point of view, methicillin resistance is highly significant since a single genetic element can reveal resistance to antibiotics, called beta-lactam antibiotics including penicillins (oxacillin), carbapenems, and cephalosporins.[ 4 ] It has been reported that, the presence of resistance genes determine not only the resistance to antibiotics but also the expression of these genes which are regulated by environment, which can provoke the resistance to antibiotics.
