MRSA is an important hospital pathogen, the incidence of which is increasing every year especially in high risk groups. The present study was performed in high risk patients admitted in burns and orthopaedic units of LN hospital to study the infection rate of MRSA from these units. The proportion of MRSA amongst S. aureus isolates was found to be 51.6% and these isolates were multidrug resistant. Phage typing of these isolates gave a typeability of 41.8% using the MRSA set of phages. Biotyping of these isolates could divide them into four groups. The study shows a high incidence of MRSA from burns and orthopaedic units with a high level of antibiotic resistance amongst these isolates.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）是一种重要的医院病原体，其发病率逐年上升，尤其是在高危人群中。本研究在LN医院烧伤科和骨科收治的高危患者中进行，以研究这些科室中MRSA的感染率。在金黄色葡萄球菌分离株中，MRSA的比例为51.6%，且这些分离株具有多重耐药性。使用MRSA噬菌体组对这些分离株进行噬菌体分型，分型成功率为41.8%。对这些分离株进行生物分型可将它们分为四组。该研究表明，烧伤科和骨科的MRSA发病率很高，且这些分离株具有高度的抗生素耐药性。
