Fusidic acid resistance in Staphylococcus aureus in patients with Head and neck space infections

Binod Kumar Pati

Abstract :

 The prevalence of resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to fusidic acid is gradually increasing. However, there is less data regarding the prevalence in clinical strains isolated from deep seated infection. This study found only one MRSA isolate from patient with head and neck space infections exhibiting high level resistance to fusidic acid, however all the MSSA isolates were uniformly sensitive. The susceptibility should be monitored as fusidic acid in combination regimen, might serve as an effective oral alternative to oxazolidinones in multidrug resistance S aureus.
