MRSA infection can affect a wide array of individuals that may lead to treatment failure. Also, the infection has the potential to spread from one area to another particularly health care facilities or communities eventually causing minor outbreaks. With this premise, the study aimed to describe MRSA infections using the hospital-based data of a tertiary hospital in Bacolod City, Philippines, from 2010 to 2012. Specifically, this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance ofS. aureusisolated from clinical specimens and to put emphasis on the prevalence of MRSA and Inducible Clindamycin Resistance. A total of 94 cases from 2010 to 2012 were diagnosed to haveS. aureusinfection using conventional bacteriologic methods. From these cases, 38 (40.6%) were identified as MRSA and 37 (39.4%) were inducible clindamycin resistant. Wounds and abscesses were considered to be the most common specimens with MRSA infections having 71.05% while blood was the least with 5.3%. For drug susceptibility, out of the 94S. aureuscases, including MRSA, 100% were susceptible to linezolid making it the drug of choice for this study. It was then followed by tetracycline having a mean susceptibility of 95%;, while penicillin G was ineffective with 94 cases having 0% susceptibility.

Generic Prescribing

Background: Drugs play an important role in protecting, maintaining and restoring health. Drugs are prescribed irrationally throughout the world.Objective: To study the utilization of drugs in in-patient of four major ward of a tertiary care hospital in Nepal.Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in four major wards for duration of one month.Result: A total of 467 patients were prescribed a total of 2188 drugs among which 535 drugs were prescribed in surgery ward, 567 drugs in medicine ward, 220 drugs in pediatric ward and 866 drugs in obstetrics and gynecology ward. The average number of drugs per prescription was 4.68. All drugs were prescribed by brand names and generic prescribing was nil. Among all, 70.61% of drugs were from essential list of drugs.43.87% of drugs were given through injections. 34.41%, 26.05%, 11.7%, 6.35%, 6.17% and 4.84% of prescribed drugs were AMA, GIT, MSK, CNS, CVS and minerals and vitamins respectively. Four drugs per prescription were prescribed to 21.41% of the total patients (n=467).Conclusion: Polypharmacy, low rate of generic prescriptions and overuse of antibiotics still remain a problem in health care facilities in Nepal. This calls for sustained interventional strategies and periodic audit at all levels of health care to avoid the negative consequences of inappropriate prescriptions.Health Renaissance 2015;13(2): 50-65
