Background: Coagulase-positive S. aureus is among the most ubiquitous and dangerous human Pathogens, for both its virulence and its ability to develop antibiotic resistance. Development of Antimicrobial resistance has limited treatment options against infections due to this pathogen. The aim of this study was to assess the Antimicrobial agent’s susceptibility of coagulase-positive S. aureus isolated from patients admitted at Tikur Anbessa specialized hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia
Methods: The study was part of a cross sectional study conducted among 413 admitted patients Suspected of HAI to assess the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and associated risk factors. Participants were recruited using consecutive convenient sampling technique. Antimicrobial Agents susceptibility were tested on (n=160) coagulase positive S. aureus and (n=.. View More»
