| Abstract: | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in human beings and animals stands out as one of the leading pathogens causing nosocomial and community infections. Likewise, slightly increasing drug resistance in MRSA has narrowed the treatment choices. This work focuses on estimating the prevalence of MRSA in Baghdad, Iraq. A total of 130 specimens were collected from patients visiting various hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq. The present results revealed that 50 (92.6%) isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureus. Noticeably, mecA gene was detected in 44 (88%) isolates. Hence, the light must be shed on this marked prevalence of methicillin resistant S. aureus. |
