AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightTwohundred-eighteen (96.9%) of isolates were found susceptible to both fusidic acid and TMP-SMX, 4 (1.8%) were resistant to both of the agents (3 isolates from wound, 1 from sputum), 2 (0.9%) (both of them were wound isolates) were resistant only to fusidic acid, and 1 (0.4%) (throat isolate) was resistant only to TMP-SMX.

Abstract
In this study, a total of 225 methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from various clinical specimens (114 wounds, 27 blood, 16 of each catheter and sputum, 14 throat swabs, 10 trachéal aspirates, 7 of each urine and drain materials, 6 pleural fluids, 5 graft materials, 2 cerebrospinal fluids, 1 ascitis fluid) of hospitalized patients, were tested in-vitro for their susceptibilities to fusidic asid and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) by disk diffusion method. Twohundred-eighteen (96.9%) of isolates were found susceptible to both fusidic acid and TMP-SMX, 4 (1.8%) were resistant to both of the agents (3 isolates from wound, 1 from sputum), 2 (0.9%) (both of them were wound isolates) were resistant only to fusidic acid, and 1 (0.4%) (throat isolate) was resistant only to TMP-SMX.
Özet
Bu çalışmada hastanede yatmakta olan hastalardan elde edilen değişik klinik örneklerden (114 yara, 27 kan, 16'şar kateter ve balgam, 14 boğaz, 10 trakeal aspirât, 7'şer idrar ve dren örneği, 6 plevral sıvı, 5 graft, 2 beyin omurilik sıvısı, 1 asit sıvısı) izole edilmiş olan 225 metisiline dirençli Staphylococcus aureus susunun fusidik asit ve trimetoprim-sulfametoksazole (TMP-SMZ) karşı in-vitro duyarlılığı disk difüzyon yöntemi ile araştırılmıştır. İzolatlarm 218'i (%96.9) her iki antibiyotiğe de duyarlı, 4'ü (%1.8) her iki antibiyotiğe de dirençli (3'ü yara biri balgam izolatı), 2'si (%0.9) (her ikisi de yara izolatı) yalnızca fusidik aside dirençli ve 1 'i de (%0.4) (boğaz izolatı) yalnızca TMP-SMZ'e dirençli bulunmuştur.
