Description
Summary:A drop of plasma was added to one of the suspensions and mixed gently.Clumping of the organisms were observed within 10 seconds.This confirms the production of coagulase enzyme. [...]we conclude the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. The change of colour from green to colourless around the line indicates that there is degradation of DNA. [...]we concluded the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. The antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method (Fig2) by using 9 antibiotic discs such as Co-trimoxazole, Erythromycin, Doxycycline hydrochloride, Gentamicin,Vancomycin, Ciprofloxacin, Cefoxitin, Methicillin and Penicillin in lawn culture of Staphylococcus aureus which were isolated from clinical sample. From this test, we have concluded that Staphylococcus aureus was resistant to Methicillin, Cefoxitin and Penicillin and sensitive to Co-trimoxazole, Erythromycin, Doxycycline hydrochloride, Gentamicin,Vancomycin and Ciprofloxacin. Among which Gentamicin showed more sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus(Fig.3) The screening of CM-MRSA in and around Chennai by collecting swab sample from different places.The samples collected from both animate (skin swab) and inanimate objects (Swab from hospital beds and Bus stand and railway station).
