Phenotypic detection of methicillin resistance, biofilm production, and inducible clindamycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates in Kathmandu, Nepal.

High multidrug resistance, MRSA, and ICR in this study call for routine evaluation of antibiotic susceptibility patterns of S. aureus. Vancomycin can be used to treat serious staphylococcal infections. Clindamycin should be prescribed only after performing the D-test. Drugs like teicoplanin, chloramphenicol, doxycycline, amikacin, and levofloxacin can treat MRSA infections.
