Objectives: Phenotypic detection of erm gene encoding enzyme in methicillin sensitive and methicillin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates (sputum and pus samples) in a tertiary care hospital of
Nowshera and to find the sensitivity pattern to D+MSSA and D+MRSA.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed in the pathology laboratory of Qazi Hussain
Ahmed Medical Complex Nowshera from 1st March 2019 to 30th Sept 2019. A total of 186 S. aureus isolates were selected for routine antibiotic susceptibility testing. 52 samples showed D-test positive i.e., (induced clindamycine resistance). Relevant information were recorded on a predesigned
proforma prepared as per CLSI recommendation for data collection.
