Antibiotic sensitivity pattern of coagulase negative staphylococci in a tertiary care hospital of Southern Rajasthan

Coagulase negative staphylococci have been recognized as one of the important cause hospital acquired infections in recent past. It has become difficult to manage these due emergence multidrug resistance them. The aim this study was determine antibiotic sensitivity trend all Staphylococci isolates using modified Kirby- Bauer disk diffusion technique. To assess for coagulase staphylococci, Kirby-Bauer disc method on Muller-Hinton agar used. findings were interpreted basis CLSI standards. All given a predetermined panel antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant identified Cefoxitin disk. Linezolid, Vancomycin and Rifampicin found 500 our study. However, they resistant Penicillin G (65%), (56%), Ciprofloxacin (57%), Levofloxacin (32%), Gentamicin (21%), Erythromycin (67%), Clindamycin (60%), Cotrimoxazole (51%) Tetracycline (9%). As CoNS emerged an agent infections, hence there is need identification, speciation pattern better management patients.
