            <abstract>
                <p>S. aureus Urinary Tract Infections had emergence of resistance against commonly
used antibiotics and especially methicillin. The present investigation was done to study
the prevalence rate and antibiotic resistance pattern of the MRSA strains isolated from
immunosuppressive patients suffered from UTIs. One-hundred and twenty urine samples
were collected and cultured. Those that were positive for S. aureus, were subjected to PCR
and disk diffusion method. Of 120 urine sample studied, 10 samples (8.33%) were positive
for S. aureus. Prevalence of MRSA among the bacterial isolates was 5.83%. MRSA strains
had the highest levels of resistance against ampicillin (100%), penicillin G (100%),
tetracycline (85.71%), ciprofloxacin (85.71%), amikacin (71.42%) and trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole
(71.42%). The lowest levels of resistance were seen against imipenem
(14.28%) and clindamycin (28.57%). Considering the high prevalence of MRSA and its
emergence for antibiotic resistance, rapid identification of infected immunosuppressive
patients and their quick treatment with imipenem and clindamycin are recommended.
