Prevalence And Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern Of Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus Aureus Colonization Among Clinically Tuberculosis Suspected Clients At St.peter Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa Ethiopia.

Background: The burden of methicillin resistant S. aureus is a major public health concernrnworldwide; which are challenging both for physicians and patients due to limited choice ofrntherapeutic options and increased cost of care. However there is little information regarding thernpresence and antibiotic resistance pattern of MRSA colonization on the clinically TB suspectedrnclients.rnObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the nasal colonization and antimicrobialrnresistance patterns of MRSA isolates among clinically tuberculosis suspected clients at St. PeterrnHospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.rnMethods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July, 2018. A totalrnof 281 Nasal swabs were collected, transported and processed using both SBA and MSA. Diskrndiffusion method was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. MRSA was detected usingrnCefoxitin(30μg) discs and data related with risk factors were gathered using structuredrnquestionnaires. Association of risk factors with colonization of S. aureus/MRSA was assessedrnusing univariate and multivariate logistic regression. A p-value
