Abstract

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a major problem and plays a vital role in nosocomial infections. Management of MRSA infection becomes cumbersome in healthcare settings due to its extension of resistance towards much class of antibiotics and it is purely based on antibiotic susceptibility. Nasal carriage of MRSA is a recognized risk factor for subsequent endogenous infection. We hereby report a case of MRSA infection in burns patient of endogenous origin and recovered by antibiotic therapy with 2% mupirocin. MRSA is frequent confront in the burn’s ward where the patients have more colonized and infected than other group of patients. Disturbances in the skin barrier and immunological variations are recorded among burn patients. Surveillance of microbial entities, its epidemiology and following the strict infection control practices lessen the frequency of such infection but very dangerous to control the outbreak situations
