| Popis: |
This study investigated the major pathogens in fever patients’ blood in a rural cohort and characterized its virulence. A total of 718 blood samples received from IPD/OPD (inpatient department/outpatient department) patients with H/O (history of) fever were cultured, and 73 out of 83 culture-positive samples were identified as Staphylococcus aureus. The isolates showed higher resistance to penicillin, most being multidrug resistant. They formed biofilm in vitro, and 27.4% of the isolates were strong biofilm producers. They were sensitive towards linezolid, gentamicin, and tetracycline. The findings emphasize the necessity of preventing and managing staphylococcal infection and regular antimicrobial surveillance in rural areas. |
